4 Ways To Naturally Alleviate Allergies

Spring has sprung in full force and so has allergies. Whether you’re sensitive to pollen, grass, the layers of dust that have been blowing off things with the new spring breeze, there are natural solutions that can help you. Here are some ways you can naturally alleviate allergies this spring:

Eat Clean

Clean diets aren’t just for losing weight. Clean diets help to balance your entire body. Reducing or avoiding pro-inflammatory foods, high sugar, and refined foods helps your body feel and react to allergies better.

Avoid Trigger Foods

Sometimes seasonal allergies can be caused by certain foods. Stay on the lookout for foods that trigger any seasonal reactions in you. Dairy is often a trigger food, so consider this when testing your body’s food triggers.

Support Your Intestinal Health

Immune-related diseases including seasonal allergies are sometimes accompanied by a “leaky” intestinal barrier. To support your intestinal health, try drinking lots of water, limiting caffeine intake, and eating lots of fiber.

Eat Antihistamine Foods

Foods with antihistamine properties include parsley, thyme, turmeric, ginger, chamomile, and nettle. Any food with these qualities helps to stop or significantly reduce allergy symptoms.
