If you are one of the many people who suffer from seasonal allergies, and are tired of relying on drugstore antihistamines, read on! There are many natural alternatives that will help treat common allergy symptoms, help reduce inflammation, and help with prevention as well!
Stinging Nettle: This herb has been used since ancient times, for reducing congestion, controlling coughs, and relieving asthma symptoms. It is very effective in treating hayfever and other seasonal allergies, with just one daily dose during allergy season or as needed.
Quercetin: A powerful antioxidant which has been shown to inhibit the release of inflammatory compounds like histamine, without the side effects of pharmaceutical antihistamines. Quercetin helps calm the allergic response by reducing the inflammation caused by the immune system.
Antioxidants: There are many antioxidants that will strengthen the immune system, and actually help to prevent allergy flare-ups and symptoms from occurring. This includes grape seed, bilberry, black currant, bitter orange, and rutin to name a few. If your goal is to prevent your allergies entirely, you would have to start taking these antioxidants in advance. A daily dose before allergy season starts works very well for most people. Combining quercetin with other antioxidants is a great way to keep allergy symptoms under control.
All of these herbs are available either alone or in combination formulas specifically targeting allergies. They are available in liquid tinctures, or capsules and tablets from a few different bands. We have a section in the store dedicated to natural allergy solutions.We carry a wide variety of products, both herbal and homeopathic. You might just find the alternative you are looking for!
