It’s a good time to support your body before spring comes.

Spring has sprung! And as much as we’re all looking forward to warmer and longer days, it is also a season notorious for allergies!

I’ve been doing lots of work over winter to prepare a new program to help you get control of your allergies (keep an eye out for more details coming soon) and I’m going to be sharing lots of tips on my page to help as well – so if you know anyone who suffers from allergies and would like some NATURAL help, send them a link to my page.

My first piece of advice is really simple. DRINK MORE WATER! With about 75% of the population suffering from some degree of dehydration, it’s likely you’re not drinking enough water anyway so you’ll feel better and have more energy and focus.

Most importantly for allergy sufferers however is that your body produces histamines as a defense mechanism to preserve water in your body. Which means when you’re dehydrated, your histamine production increases, triggering the same symptoms as seasonal allergies!

To add flavour and additional benefits, try adding some fresh ginger and lemon. Ginger and lemon can reduce some of the inflammation and irritation in the nasal passages and throat.

What else do you like to add to your water?

We’ve gotten so used to popping a pill and having our symptoms disappear!

But we’re often not treating the underlying problems. So, we keep easing the symptoms, looking for instant fixes, and our poor bodies are just working like crazy to keep going and stay strong.

When we uncover the underlying problem, there is usually a natural solution. Many people are surprised at how quickly they feel better – there is a common myth that natural remedies are slow working! But when you’re providing your body with what it most needs, it can respond really quickly.

Of course, sometimes what we need is to slow down, relax a bit more and get some rest! Don’t ever underestimate how much you are doing for your health when you rest!

This weekend, I’m going to be spending some time in my garden which is one of my favourite ways to wind down. How will you slow down and rest this weekend?

Thought you might all appreciate some main points from my ginger talk and my recipe for ginger lozenges.

Ensure you have correctly identified the ginger plant if you plan to eat it.

Zingiber officinalis (Ginger)
Zingiber officinalis Common name: Ginger
Family: Zingiberaceae
Part used: Rhizome
Constituents: Volatile oil (zingiberene), sesquiterpenes, oleo-resins (gingerols, shogaols), starch, proteins, lipids, nutrients, amino acids

Some Medical uses: Zingiber increases the flow of saliva and is a stimulating tonic for the digestive system. Reduces cramping, gas and nausea. Indicated for motion sickness. Increases the peripheral circulation and detoxifies the body from toxins associated with rheumatism.

Contraindications: People with sensitive stomachs do not always tolerate. Use caution with ulcers, GERD, gallstones, kidney disease, and tendency to hemorrhage.

Slippery Elm Chew for sore throats

Combine all ingredients together using a little water to bring it to a crumble. Roll into balls and food drier until they have reached your desired chewy-ness. Store in freezer.
