This weather has given Spring the push it needed, but it also gave allergies a boost. Your body’s histamine levels are on the rise. Do you suffer from seasonal allergies (rhinitis)? If so, you are not alone!
Rather than resort to over the counter allergy meds. Here are some great tips and options to consider for natural allergy relief and prevention.
Because who wants to end up getting sick at the start of this beautiful weather?
Prevention:
Try to keep your windows closed while pollen is blowing around outside.
Leave your shoes at the door and change your clothes after being outdoors.
If you have pets, wipe them down with a wipe to get some of the pollen off.
Introduce anti-inflammatory foods into your diet. Lemons, garlic, cruciferous veggies, leafy greens
NOTE: Cruciferous veggies contain Quercetin, which stabilizes the release of histamines. It also calms the hyperactivity of airways (you can also take Quercetin in a supplement form)
Local Raw Honey
Drink Nettle Tea or Take Nettle Capsules 2 times per day.
Omega 3s (supplement or food sources, such as Wild Salmon and Hemp Seeds)
Add Eucalyptus oil to your laundry (25 drops per load)
Natural Relief:
Use a Neti Pot to flush your sinuses of the pollen. You can add a couple drops of eucalyptus oil and/or tea tree to the water.
Essential Oils, like Eucalyptus, Frankincense, Lavender, and Tea Tree reduce inflammation and help move the harmful toxins out of the body faster.
Diffuse oils: Combine with a carrier oil and rub on chest, behind ears, or bottom of feet.
Inhale through steam or in shower.
Drink warm water with Lemon, turmeric, and or raw local honey.
NOTE: Turmeric acts as a decongestant. You can also add it to your food when cooking.
