Jenny's Jive: Are you suffering from nasal congestion, watery eyes or coughing?  It’s the season for allergies, the inappropriate response by the body's immune system to a substance that is not normally harmful.  Allergens are the substances that provoke allergic responses.  Allergies affect our quality of life & productivity. Fortunately there are a number of herbs & supplements that can be taken to minimize the symptoms of allergies.  Bee pollen & quercetin can help to stimulate proper immune function.  Herbs can be used to help with the symptoms of allergies.  Boswellia works at the cellular level to reduce inflammatory & allergic responses, eucalyptus leaves, eyebright, licorice root, nettle & magnolia flower all help reduce the agonizing symptoms of allergies.  A person suffering from frequent allergies might consider strengthening their adrenal glands.  There are many more supplements & herbs available for allergy relief, all of which can be found nestled on the shelves of Stay Healthy!

Jeff's Positive Vibrations: Allergies are here and are very annoying resulting in itchy, scratchy, watery eyes. Pollens and repeated exposure and sensitivity to toxic chemicals like chlorine, dry cleaning chemicals, plastic food containers, synthetic perfumes, colognes and household cleaning products sets off your body’s immune response, and sometimes your body overreacts to these allergens. Diet, herbs and lifestyle therapy is so important to minimize the length and degree of your allergy attacks. Go on a short blood purifying cleanse to begin toxin release – a glass of fresh carrot, beet, cucumber juice, a bowl of high fiber cereal to bind and eliminate toxins in your G.I. tract along with some brewer’s yeast, wheat germ and lecithin granules. Eat organically grown foods as much as possible. Avoid canned foods. Avoid caffeine which inhibits liver filtering function. Eat some sea greens to excrete lead. Have an apple a day if you work in a polluted area. Apple pectin removes metal toxins. Lower bad saturated and trans fats, add good omega-3 fats with essential fatty acids, and sea greens, flax, canola and olive oils for resistance. Use herbs to neutralize your histamine response. Take digestive bitters and lemon extract for enzyme therapy, bilberry extract, quercetin with bromelain to take down the swelling along with MSM. Other effective herbal healing resources include garlic oil caps, dandelion, nettles caps, astragalus extract caps, evening primrose, pau d’ arco tea, grapefruit seed extract caps or drops, chamomile and horseradish.

J.C. Speaking Words of Wisdom
Do you want to help your stress levels, cope with your allergies, and have the ability to adapt and be calm in any situation? Having a great attitude is one way to keep your self balanced. Using will power and brain power to influence hormonal response has been used for thousands of years in the form of visualization. Seeing yourself strong and healthy is a must in today’s negative media filled society. 100% fact is that your breathing influences your mental, emotional and physical bodies. Adjusting your breathing can balance your response to outside influences no matter what they are. Breathe before you think is an old Chinese proverb showing the power of breath. For the physical body to run smoothly and adjust to a changing world, the adrenals must function properly. The adrenal glands are small glands that rest on top of the kidneys. The outer part, the cortex, produces cortisone or steroids. Its’ job is to maintain the body's sodium, potassium, sugar and hormone levels. The inner portion is the adrenal medulla. It secretes adrenaline and nor-adrenaline that support the body through situations of fear, worry, stress or anger; it is the "fight or flight" hormone. These glands provide us with the hormonal support that is required by the body to get through the day. Strengthen and balance the adrenals with high powered herbal foods that contain many concentrated vitamins and minerals plus a host of other natural compounds. These other active constitutes play a vital role and feed the adrenals directly. Special tonic herbs to note are Siberian Eleuthero, Amla, Astragalus, Schisandra, Ashwaganda, and Licorice Root (Chinese). 
Look for Warrior Mystic Formula’s “Adrenal Balance” to aid you with stress, allergies and over all well-being.

Nik Notes: Every spring our valley gets flooded with pollen.  Mulberry, Olive & Oleander are the biggest culprits, as they are not native to our valley.  When plants are imported they do not mesh well with the surrounding flora, and given the combination of non-native plants in Las Vegas , it is no surprise that so many people are affected.  Of all the allergy products that we carry, I feel that Dolisos “Las Vegas Mix” is the best.  It is designed to give you relief from pollen by exposing you to very small amounts, so small in fact that your body can easily figure out how to stop any reaction.  The “Las Vegas Mix” is all natural, non-drowsy and totally safe.
