Negative ion generators can protect you from allergens, airborne bacteria and viruses in your home. Negative ions clear the air of harmful particulates such as pet hair, pollen, smoke, bacteria and viruses, odors, dust, and more. Negative ions attach to these particles making it hard for the germs, mold, pollen, and other harmful particulates to stay airborne since they’ve become too heavy with the added negative ion attached to it.This puts them out of the way and removes them from the air we breathe and prevents these particulates from causing respiratory problems and other health issues. Negative ions clear the air of harmful particulates such as pet hair, pollen, smoke, bacteria and viruses, odors, dust, and more. Negative ions are ions that are charged with an extra electron. They are often found in nature, especially in open running water sources like waterfalls and river, but they can also be found in the air, sunlight, and the inherent radiation of the Earth.You know the feeling of after being soaked in the beach, or after a storm, your get this great feeling? That’s your body soaking up the benefits of negative ions. Now you can have that feeling in your own home.

Allergy Relief 

Rob Nielson, ND & LAC

Juniper and Ponderosa are pollen-producing trees that trigger allergy symptoms for many.  Central Oregon allergies can also be caused by Spring trees, grasses and Fall Ragweed. Symptoms include itching eyes, running nose, headaches, and sneezing when your immune system is triggered by allergens, which causes your body to produce inflammation and histamine.

Natural treatment options for allergy symptoms

Stinging Nettle Leaf:

Stinging nettle is a natural anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory herb taken as tea or capsules. Nettle is an excellent herb to start prior to your expected allergy symptoms begin. 

Quercetin:

Quercetin is a bioflavonoid, a potent anti-oxidant, found in many foods like onions, berries, and apples.  It reduces histamine and inflammation when taken as a supplement during allergy season.

NAC:

NAC (N-Acetl-cysteine) is an amino acid naturally found in proteins.  Taken as a supplement, NAC has several powerful rolls in addressing allergy symptoms.  NAC breaks apart mucous, is an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant. 

Probiotics:

Probiotics change how your immune system responds to pollens and grasses.   When taking probiotics, your body will be less sensitive to allergens, so those mast cells release less histamine, resulting in less allergy symptoms.  

Limit Exposure:

Keep the inside of the home clean, dusted and keep allergens outside. Shower and change after being outside, close windows, and use an air filter.
