Title: Allergies abated
|
I have always had allergy problems, mostly with plants and pollen. My doctors always prescribed drugs like Allegra and Claritin or over-the-counter drugs like Benadryl to help combat my symptoms: sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, scratchy throat and headaches. The drugs helped but always left me feeling a little “out of it,” so I was reluctant to take them regularly. Unfortunately, the symptoms of my untreated allergies often led to recurring sinus infections every three months or so. They were awful! Not only were the sinus headaches extremely painful, but the buildup of phlegm in my body would usually lead to coughing and sleepless nights. Meanwhile, the infection itself completely sapped me of my energy and left me flat on my back. When my husband and I moved from the west coast to New York City, my allergy and sinus problems only seemed to worsen with the high pollen counts and decreased quality of air. Fortunately for me, however, he had been introduced to mangosteen juice several months prior to our move and had been taking it regularly. I liked the taste of it and decided I’d just drink it whenever my husband did. I noticed right away that my energy increased and I felt healthier, but the other changes were more subtle. One day I woke up after taking the juice for eight months and realized that I hadn’t had a single sneeze or sinus infection the entire span of that time. I’ve been drinking mangosteen juice now for three years and no longer take prescription drugs to treat my allergies. Now when I do start to feel even the slightest hint of a sinus infection coming on, I double my serving size of mangosteen juice and am back to normal after a few days. Mangosteen juice works for me. I love it.
