Ask *Raw Mom*…. Hayfever

Q: Dear *Raw Mom*,

I am currently suffering really bad hayfever and I have been trying to find a solution. I have been on antihistamines and others to help dry up and heal the symptoms but they are losing their effect.
I know there is another answer, my diet. So I have cut out dairy which I have an intolerance to anyway!

But I just wanted to know about any other foods that I could eat to heal and cure my symptoms. I have been listening to my body and keeping to the fresh fruit and veges and just the odd piece of toast, etc.
I have heard acupuncture is a great help so I am going to try next week.

But I would like some other guidance please.

Thanks for being you!

A: Hi Sheryl,

I used to be right where you are!
What worked for me was understanding that the symptoms were really all part of the bigger picture and underneath it all was an exhausted and depleted immune system.

Before I went raw I wasn’t very in tune with my body or even my emotions…and I used to push myself to my limit and beyond constantly. I always felt in high survival mode. This stressful physiology put my entire system under strain.

After going raw, I noticed subtle shifts in my awareness that brought me back into a more balanced state. It was like suddenly, progressively, I was inhabiting my body more and more. This naturally started to guide me to better habits all-round. The diet is what triggered a whole chain reaction. I needed more sleep. More fresh air. Less worry. More water. Really simple things like that.

I noticed in my 2nd or 3rd year of raw, I never had hay fever again. I know I never will, because my immune system is working.

A quick-trick which may not even appeal to you but I have read and heard works miracles for any immune system deficiencies is to try urine therapy. Apparently even homeopathic doses of a few drops under the tongue daily can do wonders…
I personally haven’t needed to try that, however, when my hayfever was at its all time worst, I would get such itchy eyes that I wanted to scratch right out. I did use to put urine drops into my eyes and the relief was immediate and effective.
I hope all this helps and just continue to allow yourself to be guided to find your answers.

Blissings,

Shakaya
