Surviving Allergy Season Naturally
It’s getting to be that dreaded time of year: Spring Allergy Season. Despite the cold fronts rolling in lately, the impending spring weather will be sure to bring lots of beautiful blooms. However, with spring flowers and blossoming trees comes pollen and other allergens to render anyone into a weeping mess.
Surviving allergy season can include a huge dependency on medications to ease allergy symptoms like itchy and irritated eyes, itchy or runny nose, coughing, wheezing, and sinus pressure/congestion. Knowing what allergies are and what causes them can help in better management and an easier time getting through the season without having to completely rely on medications.
What Causes Allergies?
Allergies are caused by an overreaction by the body’s immune system when it comes into contact with an allergen such as dust, pollen, or pet dander. Repeated exposure to allergens slowly builds the sensitivity to it, until it inevitably creates the unwanted, and most often, unpleasant symptoms.
How Can Allergies Be Treated?
Allergies are typically treated with antihistamines, such as Benadryl or Claritin. Though these medications help to soothe these symptoms, some can cause unwanted side effects, specifically drowsiness/sleepiness. Allergy shots can also be recommended and administered by a doctor that can help lessen the reaction to allergens. They can be effective, but it’s not known how long they truly last.
Â
Use a HEPA Clean Air Filter in your home to reduce allergens in the air: Studies have shown that these filters will help clean the air in your home environment of pollen and other allergens much more effectively than ionic filters.
Take a shower & change your clothes after being outside: Pollen can stick to you and your clothes, so once you come in from being outside - be sure to change your clothes and shower to limit further exposure to allergens.
Use a Neti pot for sinus relief: Flushing your sinuses with saline solution helps you avoid exposure to medicated sinus and nasal sprays that can cause more congestion and sinus pressure if overused.
Consume local honey and/or bee pollen: Lots of folks recommend consuming local honey and/or bee pollen can help ease allergy symptoms because it is theorized that it works much like an allergy shot, by the individual gradually building a tolerance to local pollen.
Stay hydrated and drink more fluids: Staying hydrated is incredibly important to your immune health when dealing with cold or allergy symptoms because it helps flush toxins out of your body and keeps your vital organs systems running in tip-top shape.
Eat a healthier diet: Eating a healthy diet can help keep your body fueled with the right nutrients to help keep your body’s system running great and able to lessen your reaction to invading germs and allergens.
Take an immune-boosting supplement: Taking an immune-boosting supplement can help support and promote a more efficient immune system that can make allergy and cold symptoms easier to handle.
Use apple cider vinegar: Add some apple cider vinegar (ACV) to your daily routine by mixing a tablespoon of it with honey into a glass of water and sipping, or simple down the tablespoon straight. ACV is incredibly beneficial to immune health. Try some and see!
