Addressing The Root of Allergy Problems

Allergies? Strengthen your immune response. Go beyond the symptoms to the root cause of allergies. With Aller-Defense you can get a long term solution:

• Strengthen your body's defense mechanisms
• Flush out toxins
• Improve digestion and liver function

If you're the kind of person who starts sneezing when you even think about spring flowers, ragweed, dust, mold or pet dander, chances are you have an immune system that over-reacts to harmless natural substances. Instead of reserving its immune response for viruses and bacteria, your body sounds a false alarm when exposed to a certain food or even a blade of grass — and rallies the immune system to attack. Sneezing, nasal congestion and itchy, water eyes — as well as the indigestion, swelling or skin rashes that food or chemical allergies can produce — are the all too- familiar results.

But what causes your body to over-react in the first place? According to Maharishi Ayurveda, accumulated toxins prevent your immune system from functioning normally. Fortunately, Aller-Defense herbal formula offers a powerful, two-pronged solution. It strengthens your body's natural immunity to allergens by eliminating existing toxins. At the same time, it prevents your immune system from over-reacting to harmless allergens.

This synergistic combination of 17 herbs also works to restore healthy functioning of your liver. As your body's natural filtration system, your liver filters toxins and chemicals from the food you eat and the water you drink. In this way, Aller-Defense offers a natural, long term solution to the root cause of allergies.

Tips for Keeping Allergies Away

• Avoid eating leftovers and packaged, canned or and frozen foods; these are the foods that produce digestive impurities.
• Avoid bananas, eggplant, sweet peppers, potatoes and tomatoes because they tend to clog the body's channels, blocking waste from being removed and nutrients from reaching the cells. Yogurt is also a heavy, sour food to avoid, unless you blend it with three parts water to form a healthy, digestion enhancing drink called lassi.
• Eat more warm, freshly-cooked foods. Buy organic foods, as these are chemical-free and do not tax the liver or cause toxins to accumulate.
• Drink plenty of warm or room-temperature water to clear impurities from the microcirculatory channels.
• Go to sleep by 10:00 p.m., the time of night when the body's digestive system needs to rest and purify toxins.
• Use Clear & Soothe Nasal Spray to protect and condition nasal membranes naturally.
• Remove carpets and rugs. Hard floor surfaces don't collect dust as much as carpets.
• Clean your home frequently. If your allergies are severe, you may want to avoid doing the cleaning yourself and hire a housekeeper.
• If you're allergic to pollen, keep your windows closed when the pollen season is at its peak. Change your clothing after spending time outdoors. Get someone else to mow your lawn.
• Avoid damp areas, such as basements, if you're allergic to mold. Keep bathrooms and other mold prone areas clean and dry.
• When pollen counts are down, keep your house well-ventilated to reduce humidity levels and prevent mold from forming. Open your windows when cooking and bathing.
• Take Aller-Defense and Aller Breathe in combination for a truly holistic approach to immunity.
