Global News viewers discover how to escape miseries of allergy season

Sneezing, runny nose and itchy eyes: If your walk in the park is more pain than pleasure, you probably suffer with seasonal allergies. Holistic pharmacist Sherry Torkos shared some tips with Edmonton’s Global News viewers to help make allergy season more tolerable, such as preparing your immune system with A. Vogel Allergy Relief. “The pollen is coming, and it’s going to bring misery to a lot of Canadians,” said Torkos. “There’s some natural ways we can deal with allergies, relieving the symptoms and also helping to treat the underlying issue.”

Suggestions for a manageable allergy season:

●Stay clear. “A neti pot is a great way to clear out sinus congestion,” said Torkos. “You put some saline water in there, and it goes in one nostril and out the other. It takes a little getting used to but it is an effective way to clear out the sinuses. Saline drops for children are also very effective.”

Consider a preventive. “This is Allergy Relief by A. Vogel. You’ll find this in pharmacies and health food stores,” said Torkos. “It helps to desensitize your body to the allergens.” Taking the tablets a month before allergy season begins is advised.

Manage symptoms naturally. Allergy Relief also helps soothe allergy symptoms, including sneezing, scratchy throat and itchy, watery eyes, naturally. “What’s unique about this,” Torkos added, “is it’s safe for children, as well as pregnant women. There are very few things that we can say are safe for kids. So for two and above, this is great.” In addition to tablets, A. Vogel Allergy Relief is available in a nasal spray and a tincture.

If digestive issues plague your spring, consider a daily dose of A. Vogel’s Artichoke-Milk Thistle-Boldocynara Complex. “The different ingredients help to relieve heartburn, dyspepsia and indigestion,” Torkos said. The health author also recommended prebiotics, which encourage beneficial bacteria. “Molkosan is a fermented whey drink. It’s lactose-free and glucose-free. It helps to aid digestion and really improves the terrain of your gut which is really important because that will aid digestion. It also helps metabolism and a lot of other things.”
