4 Tips to Reduce Allergy Symptoms Naturally

We wanted to provide you with some additional tips as allergy season approaches. Allergies trigger an overactive immune response to pollen, mold, and other environmental allergens. Unfortunately, it can also exacerbate other underlying symptoms you have even including anxiety. Here are some effective ways to minimize discomfort and strengthen your body's resilience.

4 Tips to Reduce Allergy Symptoms Naturally

1. Support Your Gut Health – Did you know that 70% of your immune system is in your gut? Research shows that a balanced gut microbiome can help regulate immune responses and reduce allergy symptoms (West et al., 2017). Incorporating probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, kefir, and fermented vegetables or taking high-quality probiotic supplements may help.

2. Try Natural Antihistamines – Quercetin, a plant compound found in onions, apples, and green tea, has been studied for its ability to stabilize mast cells and reduce histamine release (Rogerio et al., 2007). We offer specialized herbal and nutrient support to help ease your symptoms naturally.

3. Use a Saline Rinse – Regular nasal rinsing with saline can flush out allergens before they trigger an immune response. A study in the American Journal of Rhinology & Allergy found that saline irrigation significantly reduced nasal symptoms in allergy sufferers (Head et al., 2018).

4. Optimize Your Environment – Keeping windows closed during high pollen times, using an air purifier, and washing bedding frequently can minimize allergen exposure. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also recommends using HEPA filters to trap airborne allergens.
