“Our overall health and what we eat play a major role in allergies,” says Dr. Janette Asaro Pena of Newburgh Chiropractic. Allergies are an over-reaction of our immune system. Histamine is released which is why we get sinus congestion, runny noses and itchy eyes and/or itchy skin rashes. “By drinking lots of water the histamine is diluted and the reaction is diminished or non-existent. We also can re-train how our body reacts to allergens with homeopathic remedies. My favorite is homeopathic histaminum which triggers our cells to stop releasing histamine but in a better way than allergy medicine because it doesn’t leave you feeling drowsy or hyper,” shares Pena.
Many foods cause inflammation which make allergies worse. “I recommend an anti-inflammatory diet which is very similar to the alkaline diet and the Paleo diet without dairy. We can improve inflammation, allergies and overall health with a good diet. Come in for a consultation to learn more,” she invites.
Dr. Pena treats everyone from infants to seniors with a special interest in nutrition and digestion, and the relationship between nutrition, emotion and physical issues. She uses a holistic approach to correct the underlying causes of health issues and restore balance to the body
