One dose of Claritin sent me into a terrifying spiral of depression and dark thoughts that changed my approach to seasonal allergies forever.

In this episode, I share my frightening experience with Claritin and why I now rely exclusively on natural remedies. After moving to Virginia's Shenandoah Valley (the pollen capital of the United States), I developed severe seasonal allergies for the first time in my life and turned to Claritin for relief.

What happened next was shocking. Within days, I experienced severe depression and disturbing thoughts that disappeared completely when I stopped taking the medication. This little known but documented side effect of Claritin led me to research and develop a comprehensive natural approach to managing seasonal allergies.

In this episode, I break down my five part strategy for handling allergies naturally, including homeopathic remedies, nettle leaf tinctures, essential oils with antihistamine properties, and gut health support. Whether you're dealing with mild seasonal discomfort or debilitating allergy symptoms, you'll learn practical, natural alternatives that provide relief without dangerous side effects.

In today's episode, we're chatting about:

• The documented but rarely discussed neuropsychological side effects of Claritin

• How homeopathic remedies like Hylands and Rin Allergy provide fast relief

• The power of nettle leaf as a natural antihistamine

• Essential oil blends that reduce allergy symptoms

• The connection between gut health and seasonal allergies
