Self-Care & Seasonal Depression
October 11, 2024
Spring is a beautiful season all around, from the colors of blooming flowers to the warmth of sunshine on your cheek. But it may not be such a beautiful time of year for allergy sufferers. The return of spring means that allergy season is in full effect, but there are steps that you can take to make sure you’re able to get out there and enjoy more of the beauty. Trying chiropractic care for allergies and taking natural supplements that help fight adrenal fatigue are effective options that may become allergy season staples.
Regular chiropractic care offers many exceptional benefits, and that may even include improving your body’s response to allergy season. One of the overarching goals of chiropractic adjustments is to restore functionality to your nervous system by removing subluxations and bringing your spine into alignment. A healthy nervous system means better health for other key systems in the body. That includes your immune system, which dictates how your body responds to allergens.
By building better immune system health, you can empower your body to have less severe reactions to pollen, mold, dust, and other allergens. This can also help improve your health during cold and flu season, keeping you feeling better all throughout the year.
If you’re already dealing with symptoms, you can try chiropractic care for allergies as it can provide faster relief. A certified chiropractic practitioner can adjust your neck so that it opens up your pathways and reduces bothersome symptoms like clogged sinuses. By applying gentle pressure to the areas around your sinus cavities, a chiropractor can even directly relieve allergy pressure in your face and head.
Your adrenal glands are frontline fighters during allergy season, producing the anti-inflammatory cortisol. Because there’s so much extra strain on these glands during this time of year, it can result in adrenal fatigue. Adrenal fatigue makes it harder for your body to fight back against allergies, and it can create side effects like trouble sleeping, soreness, and stress.
If you want to avoid adrenal fatigue during allergy season, Standard Process offers several natural supplements that promote adrenal gland health. One option you can get through Livingston Country Chiropractic is Adrenal Complex, which supports better adrenal gland health with natural ingredients like licorice and Rehmannia. It’s also an excellent choice because it works in combination with several other Standard Process products such as Nevaton Forte, which promotes a healthy nervous system, and Astragalus Complex, which boosts your immune system.
