Some people suffer from specific areas of congestion (Chinese herbs for allergies) such as post nasal drip, ear wax build-up, excess throat phlegm, etc. Herb remedies will supplement the recommendation above, so aid can be attained. However, in the end, nutrition, mostly, is how the blockage developed and a remedial diet is the path out.   

AVOID THE FOLLOWING FOOD:

• Peanuts are a common food allergen and should be avoided, along with peanut butter
• Canola oil (rapeseed)
• Lack of dietary changes will yield allergic conditions
• Excess consumption of food, This variable is determined by the individual’s current detox function.
• Glucan sensitive foods based on wheat (not every has this issue)
• Deadly Nightshade plants (tomatoes, egg plant, potatoes) minority suffer from this sensitivity.
• Sugars
• Excitotoxins (most sugar replacements except stevia, Agave nectar, etc.)
• Incomplete foods or Non-whole foods
• Breads made from flour as opposed to complete whole grain bread

As an individual becomes more toxic or builds up excess obstructive components in the body then the allergic conditions tend to increase unless you reverse the toxic pattern. Give your body some time until balance is anchored once again. When this diet does not move the body quick enough into balance then Chinese herbs for allergies for elimination may be of benefit.

It seems like every sneeze in the office these days is followed by some kind of witty swine flu remark and general guffawing. I guess if we’re all joking about it it can only be a good thing – things haven’t gotten bad yet. As yet we’ve only seen minimal deaths and indeed cases for a pandemic of this scale. But it would be stupid of us to get complacent about this. Clearly the risk of the spread escalating is still a serious one. In the UK the health service recently distributed a leaflet to every household in the country about how to prevent the spread of swine flu germs.  This leaflet can basically be boiled down to one sentence: “always sneeze into a tissue, then throw it away, wash your hands and bathe yourself in a vat of boiling elephant milk”. (OK I made the last bit up). But the point being, if government officials are willing to take things this far and risk general panic, they must be really concerned about this spreading.

Well, tissues aside, a UK company that specialises in air conditioners has come up with a novel and potentially important way of preventing swine flu. According to JS Humidifiers’ blog, an air purifier could be effective in trapping and removing particles of swine flu virus from the air before it has a chance to spread.  Air purifiers are usually used to cleanse the atmosphere in a room of pollutants and impurities which cause allergic reactions and even respiratory diseases, as well as unpleasant odours.  However the HEPA filters fitted on many air purifiers are able to trap particles of as small as 0.3 micrometers. The minute particles that make up the swine flu virus are just like normal flu particles, at approximately 100 nanometers in size – an air purifier would be able to trap and stop these particles in their tracks.  Even more effective are those air purifiers fitted with a UV lamp, which fire ultra violet light at the air particles that pass through them, killing airborne viruses in the process.

This is really a remarkable discovery. Instead of relying on people who may be infected with swine flu to sneeze into a tissue and constantly wash their hands, imagine the increased containment of having air purifiers fitted in public places like schools and offices! Maybe this is something that governments in the UK and around the world could think about in their contingency planning. And maybe this summer when you are considering buying a portable air conditioner for the home or workplace, you might think about cleansing the air as well as cooling it.
