No one can care or know more about your body than you do.
The past year has shown how each of us is unique, and that it is a good idea to learn what will promote individual physical and mental health.
We’re building a community of people who are looking for more healing and less need for healthcare.
Mast cells pay an important role in the body’s protective response to assault from toxins. Mast cells contain histamine and other substances that can cause unpleasant symptoms during allergy season.
Quercetin is a flavonoid that can prevent allergy symptoms by stabilizing mast cells. As a flavonoid, it is found in foods, including apples and onions. It is sold as a supplement, and is more effective when used in combination with ingredients including bromelain, nettles and vitamin C.
When using mast cell stabilizers, they are most effective when used BEFORE you have symptoms. If you wait until you have symptoms, you are chasing the problem.
Start two weeks before you usually get allergy symptoms- nasal congestion, itchy watery eyes, etc. some products , like D-Hist recommend loading doses and then lower maintenance doses.
PROTIP: when buying supplements, be a smart shopper. Sometimes the most expensive supplement is not worth the extra money, sometimes it is. More important, the cheapest supplement may have a lower dose per tablet or capsule(READ THE BACK of the label for how much active ingredient is in each tablet or capsule), and/or may have lower quality ingredients.
Take the time to nurture relationships and establish new ones. It's easy to let time slip by and lose touch.. We support our communities and they support us
Nature follows cycles whether we are watching or not. These salmon know where they are going. I invite you to sit mindfully with them , and if you wish, share what that is like.
A dear friend is helping others with significant challenges today, and this is posted for her,

Our Deepest Fear
By Marianne Williamson
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
It's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
