My Younger Years and My Pursuit for Health
My Young Years
My Elementary Years
- Sinus pressure and congestion
- Unable to breathe through my nose
My Young Teenage Years
- Asthma certain times of the year
- Chronic stuffy and runny nose
My Teenage Years
- Seasonal allergies made congestion worse
- Asthma more often
- Some depression (looking back, probably related to hypoglycemia)
My Young Adult Years
- Seasonal allergies
- I tried a lot of different herbs and also sinus rinsing which brought some relief but no lasting relief and prevention of symptoms
My Late 20’s
- Seasonal Allergies more often
- Asthma more often
- Very tired in the afternoon, a few hours after eating
- Discovered nettle leaf tea or capsules prevented congestion reaction to seasonal allergens
My 30’s
- Hypoglycemia tested positive
- Changed my diet to include proteins every time I ate (prevented low blood sugar, low energy)
- Cold winter air made me cough every time I would go outside
- Asthma most of the year, instead of just in the spring and fall
- Asthma and coughing most nights when I would lay down in bed
- Used massager and heat on lungs to help clear them so I could sleep
My 40’s
- Learned how to calm stress with acupressure points
- Using acupressure helped but I had to do it often, especially when I came in contact with an allergen
My late 40’s
- Allergies worsen
- Asthma continues
- Tried tapping acupuncture points for my asthma out of desperation one night and in less than 20 minutes my lungs cleared and opened up and I was relaxed and able to sleep
