Hello, Every winter I come down with bronchitis, and every summer I suffer from allergies. Can you advise me on what kind of juices could help prevent or heal these conditions?
Thank you.
Hello,
If you suffer from recurring bronchitis, the first thing you need to do is strengthen your immune system. Regular consumption of fresh fruit and vegetable juices would be helpful. For fruit juices, I would recommend grapefruit, lime or lemon, blueberry, black currant, strawberry, or sea buckthorn. On the vegetable side, I’d recommend a combination of carrots, celery, and beetroot. If you have a strong cough, strangely enough onion juice has been found to be effective in quelling it. Take a teaspoon three times a day, and don’t be afraid to sweeten it up with some maple syrup to make it more palatable.
Regarding your allergies, unfortunately I don’t have experience with this. I know a few people who cured their allergies through changing their diets, but it was a radical and complete change. They eliminated all meat, dairy products, eggs, sugar, and white flour. They only eat grains, beans, and vegetables. These are mainly professional nutritionists who are able to create a diet that contains all required nutrients. Also, some people have good results with allergies using homeopathy or Chinese medicine. I would recommend contacting a natural medicine practitioner who deals with allergies.
