Tis the Season for allergies and sinus pressure! You don't have to suffer every year! It is often that Naturopathic Doctors see patients with "chronic allergies" or "chronic sinusitis" Many patients suffer cycles of repeated patterns from year to year of getting allergies, taking over the counter medications, having surgeries and never getting any better. The reason this occurs is not because there is something fundamentally wrong with you. This is about the interaction of your body with the environment that surrounds you. Environment can be anything you live in, take in, or engage with throughout a typical season including anything from weather patterns, pollen, mold, food, toxins, medications, building heating and cooling systems and more. Sometimes, it may even be the people around you that make your body more susceptible to reacting to the insults that we encounter in a typical spring. Wouldn't it be nice to interrupt this cycle, be armed with tools to help you enjoy the awakening of Spring instead of dreading it, and be free from worry of sinus surgeries and septal defects? A few ideas to ponder:

• Why am I so reactive or sensitive to my environment?
• If an anti-histamine reduces my reactivity temporarily, what is "pro-histamine"
• I live on this earth, why do I have to react to it in this way?
• How are my allergies related to my other health issues?
