Allergy Treatment and Prevention

Stretching Can Snuff Out Allergies

Many children suffer from environmental allergies while they grow up. However even more adults will suffer from seasonal allergies such as ragweed, grass allergy, tree pollens and more. 

Many people benefit from traditional antihistamine therapy such says Allegra, Reactine and Claritin. 

Many others would benefit from alternative therapies such as grape seed extract and French maritime pine bark. These two supplements act as very powerful antioxidants, and can benefit many conditions including allergies. 

However, I have found that in many people, such allergies are greatly exaggerated by nerve compression within parts of the neck. Stretching of the neck in flexion can help reduce these myofascial neuropathies causing increased sensitivity within the sinuses to common allergens. 

In other words, stretching of the neck may reduce allergic reactions in the head and sinuses.
