Intro -Hay fever

[Guest guest]

Hello,

My name is Kylene. I have been on the list for a long time but have

been no mail for most of it. I ordered Doc's lecture and it really

resonnated with me and affirmed a lot of things I already believed.

 

I am slowly working up to better nutrition/health, but I am constantly

thwarted by my husband and son's extreme pickiness so I cave in and

make junk so that they will eat. (it is amazing how much it affects

your self esteem when someome won't eat what you make)

For a while I was buying organic fruits and veggies but the cost was

breaking the bank so I backed off a few weeks ago. I am really

looking forward to summer so I can grow my own. Garden boxes are top

priority this spring.

 

The reason I decided to pop up is because today I feel miserable, I

think it is hayfever/allergies. Obviously I don't want to take drugs

for it, I am a nursing mom of a 6month old and a 4yo so I can't afford

to feel bad, I need energy.

 

I have heard that a spoonful of local honey will help with seasonal

allergies but I am having a terrible time getting a hold of some and I

need some relief. What can I do?

Hello and Welcome Kylene.

 

Keep searching for the local honey. See if there is a Co-op in your

area and call them, they would be the most likely to carry it.

 

Depending on what symptoms you are having you may be able to use Aloe

Gel. I use it topically around my eyes and it will dry them up

immediately and soothe the burny itchy feeling. I dont know how it

will affect your baby since you are nursing, but i used to also drink

about 3 tblsp of Aloe gel with some juice and it would really help

manage some of the sypmtoms as well.

 

Also, if you are nursing, at minimum, you should consider at least

feeding yourself organically, since this will not only help you, but

all the yummy nutrients will be passed on to your little one.
