From runny noses, itchy eyes and sneezes, to scratching and skin sensitivity.<\/p>\n<p>What you did not know is that through a hypnotic state, the allergic response is turned off as if turning off a light switch.\u00a0Many times allergic reactions can be totally eliminated with only a few sessions.<\/p>\n<p>Here something to begin working with that\u2019s quick and easy:<\/p>\n<p>When you sense symptoms beginning, start with a few deep breaths, telling yourself (internally or out loud)\u00a0to be calm\u2026 relax your body more and more with each out-breath\u2026 then notice how you are feeling around the symptoms<br \/>\nfrom a mental or emotional standpoint (\u201cI can breathe through this\u201d, \u201cMy body is safe\u201d, \u201cI am calm\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>You may have heard the term \u201chay fever,\u201d but seasonal allergies, also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis,\u00a0are triggered by several different types of pollen, but not by hay. When trees and grasses begin growing in\u00a0the spring and early summer, they release light, powdery pollen that floats in the wind. \u00a0If you\u2019re allergic to this pollen, it can result in sniffling, sneezing, wheezing, a runny nose, and itchy and watery\u00a0eyes. For some people with asthma, pollen can also trigger an asthma attack.\u00a0Allergy triggers, or allergens, vary depending on the time of year. in the early spring, tree pollen is the usual cause,\u00a0and in late spring and summer it\u2019s grass pollen that\u2019s the problem.<\/p>\n<p>So if you\u2019re an allergy sufferer, how can you enjoy the outdoors without experiencing unpleasant symptoms?<br \/>\nHere are a few tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep windows closed so pollen can\u2019t drift in. Air conditioning will keep you more comfortable in hot, humid weather. \u00a0A word of caution,\u00a0air conditioners can create the best conditions (damp and dark) for molds to grow in your home.<\/li>\n<li>Do some spring cleaning and often.<\/li>\n<li>If possible, stay inside on windy days when pollen and spores can get blown around.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid being outdoors in the early morning hours (between 5 am and 10 am), when pollen counts are usually highest.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019ve been outside all day, remove and put it aside to be laundered, and take a shower after coming home.<\/li>\n<li>This will prevent you from taking all that pollen to bed with you.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t hang your laundry outside to dry \u2013 it can trap pollen and mold, bringing them inside. Use your dryer instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although the arrival of spring brings better weather, it also triggers the release of plant pollen that cause allergies. Hay fever affects about 10-15% of adults in industrialized nations. To treat this, many have turned to medications such as antihistamines, decongestants and sometimes steroids. But these can cause side-effects such as drowsiness, a dry mouth and raised blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>People itching for a solution to seasonal allergies could get help from self-hypnosis. \u00a0Simply focusing one\u2019s thoughts on allergen-free environments can reduce symptoms of hay fever. \u00a0Allergy sufferers have sought alternatives approaches, including yoga, mindfulness, hypnosis and psychotherapy-related methods, to ease their irritation with itchy eyes and runny noses. \u00a0You too can!<\/p>\n<p>To experience hypnosis and to learn self-hypnosis, please contact our office 818-551-1501.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hypnotherapy can be highly effective at relieving the symptoms of allergies and\u00a0works best on non-food allergies.
