Allergy patients don't have to watch life pass by

Several years ago, an ear institute in California conducted a study to determine the quality of life for those who suffer from allergies. The results were shocking. Allergy sufferers rated their quality of life poorer than the general American population in all of the study's scales, including physical, emotional and social functioning.

Those with allergies report a significant lack of quality sleep, which results in a decreased ability to think and function at work, and contributes to work-place injury. They also said they believe they are moodier than their friends and co-workers, both from lack of sleep and from general physical discomfort.

Studies have found that children who suffer from allergies also have performance and attendance issues. Children with allergies often suffer from daytime sleepiness - just like adults - and their learning abilities are impacted. A number of studies in children have demonstrated poor memory, examination performance, and impaired ability to recall information taught during class. Hearing loss due to Eustachian tube dysfunction or middle-ear infection can also interfere with academic performance.

Antihistamines can make these problems worse

While treating allergies with antihistamines may alleviate some of the more uncomfortable allergy symptoms, studies have proven that antihistamines make quality of life worse for allergy suffers.

Studies have proven that even when sleepiness is not recognized, use of these antihistamines slows reflexes and decreases the ability to drive a car safely. In one study of work-related injuries, antihistamines increased the risk of injury by 50 percent. Even taking a sedating antihistamine at bedtime can make people sleepy the next day.

Relief without side effects

Natural allergy remedies offer relief from allergies without the side effects commonly associated with over-the-counter and prescription allergy medications. While over-the-counter allergy medications attempt to alleviate the discomfort of allergies after your immune system has gone into overdrive, VÄXA's homeopathic allergy medicine, Aller-Sine, works in harmony with your immune system.

VÄXA Aller-Sine works to prevent an allergic reaction from ever happening in the first place. VÄXA Aller-Sine has been shown to provide natural allergy relief for all types of allergic reactions. It eases common allergy symptoms like congestion, sneezing and watery eyes while reducing the drowsiness caused by allergies. VÄXA Aller-Sine also lessens inflammation and pain from allergies.

Another solution? Try a saline nasal rinse with the VÄXA Neti Pot and Aromatic Salt. Done two or three times per day, rinsing flushes out excess mucus and pollen hanging around in your sinuses. The salt solution also helps shrink inflamed blood vessels in your nose much like decongestants do.
