Are there any safe and effective natural alternatives to allergy medications?
6 comments so farMy wife suffers from asthma which seems to be triggered mostly by allergies like dust, animals, ragweed, pollen etc. She is currently taking Loratadine (an antihistamine) which helps to keep her allergies/asthma in control. The problem- I don’t trust chemicals. I don’t think they’re safe. (sorry Big Pharma). So my question is, are there any safe and effective natural alternatives to allergy medications such as Loratadine?
Only ones that don’t work!
If they worked, they’d be available from those evil giants, “Big Pharma”!
It’s odd that you don’t “trust chemicals”, since YOU are composed entirely of them!
(Your wife’s allergies, BTW, are a likely sign that her childhood home was kept to fussily clean, and that as an infant she was consequently unable to build up her natural defenses…)

talk to an acupuncturist

The best thing I have come across is NAET. This stands for Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique. It was developed by an acupuncturist who had a lot of allergies, and managed to cure herself naturally.
You don’t need to take any herbs or chemicals, as it involves the use of acupressure points. I used it myself to get rid of a cat and dust allergy that was ruining my life.
It’s expensive, because you need to visit someone who is qualified in the technique, but the developer has published a book that gives you more information, so you can judge it for yourself without having to visit anyone.
Here’s the link to the website:

You can get her book from Amazon as well.
I hope your wife gets the help she needs. If you decide not to do this because of the costs, please consider a salt pipe or salt inhaler to clear the lungs of allergens.

Homeodrugs like 1] lyc 30 -pills - 4 per week - chew -once a week - half an hour after food .
Carrot and spinach soup daily will also help.

I would give Quercetin a try. I was on 8 allergy meds including two asthma meds several years ago, and was off them in a week after I started Quercetin. It is a bioflavanoid and sinus soother. That, coupled with a clean whole foods diet, could be the answer for her.
You can get it at Whole Foods and natural health stores.

Although homeopathy and acupuncture are not effective, there is quite a bit of research on magnesium. You can buy magnesium tablets at any drugstore.
