Natural Allergy Shots

Engystol

Allergies can be annoying and for some, they can be downright awful. But what can you do? Mold won’t stop growing and pollen will always be around. We have been relying on allergy medicines for some time now. Products such as Flonase, Zyrtec and Claritin go flying off the shelves during allergy season. The question is: are they helping you or hurting you?

As some of you are already aware, Zyrtec was recently pulled from the shelves for containing products that may cause cancer. This begs the question of what the other popular brands may be doing to our bodies. So must we simply suffer the runny noses, itchy skin, and watery eyes that come with the warm weather? Not anymore.

Engystol is a completely natural treatment for allergies that has no side effects. In addition, it also boosts your immune system helping reduce the length of colds and flu viruses. Patients have already said that their noses stopped running after only ten minutes and some have called it a miracle. There is never a bad time to get your shot of Engystol. Call or email today to find out more information!

What is Iliotibial or IT Band Syndrome

Illiotibial Band Syndrome

The Iliotibial Band (IT Band for short) is a very long, thick band of fascia that runs from the hip down to the knee. This is the primary cause of knee pain for runners but can also affect just about anyone else who overuses it. Golfers may find pain during their swings and even going for a walk could cause pain.

IT Band Syndrome is caused by the ligament tightening so much that it rubs against the thighbone. The main symptoms are pain between the hip and knee and worsening with activity.

ITBS generally takes months to heal on its own and possibly longer depending on the strain and continued use. Steroid shots have been used in the past to reduce inflammation, but luckily places like Legacy Clinic have started using natural elements to achieve the same effect without the harm of overusing steroids.

Adjustments and massage therapy can also be very beneficial in speeding the recovery time and getting you back to the daily activities that this may have prevented you from doing.

For more information or if you think you might have ITBS, contact us today at:

Restless Leg Syndrome

Leg Syndrome

Restless Leg Syndrome Relief: Natural Calm Supplement

Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a disorder of the nervous system which causes a very strong urge to move your legs. It can also be accompanied by pain, throbbing and other rather unpleasant symptoms. The symptoms of RLS often become much more noticeable when you are inactive like sitting or lying down. For obvious reasons, this makes sleeping incredibly difficult for those affected by this disorder. Unfortunately, this lack of proper sleep can lead to increased agitation and need for caffeine making RLS worse.

 

There is a lot of evidence that a lack of magnesium in the body is related to RLS. Taking a daily dose of magnesium can help you acheive better quality and quantity of sleep as well as reducing the symtpoms. When our bodies are stressed, calcium enters the cells and makes the muscles tense up. Magnesium’s job is to push that calcium back out of the cell so the muscles can relax. When we don’t have enough magnesium to push all the calcium out of our cells, our muscles stay tense much longer and this can lead to pain and/or restlessness.

Natural Vitality has produced a supplement named Natural Calm. This “anti-stress drink” works to balance the calcium and magnesium levels in our bodies reducing stress and letting us feel more relaxed. This drink doesn’t just work for those with RLS symptoms. Too much stress in our lives can lead to more severe diseases. Calm reduces the amount of damage being done by replenishing us with the electrolytes we need to return to a relaxed state quickly after a stressful situation.

 

Previous treatments for RLS have included muscle relaxers, opiods and sleep medications. All of these can be harmful and, as we all know, opiods can be highly addictive. Try a bottle of Calm and see the results for yourself.
