If sneezing and itchy eyes are
affecting your day-to-day routine, you may have seasonal allergies. The following
natural approaches may have beneficial effects on your symptoms - give them a
try:
1.
Take
freeze-dried stinging nettles and butterbur. Both herbs perform as well as
antihistamines, without the drowsiness.
2.
Eliminate
dairy and any products that contain casein (to avoid immune-system irritation).
3.
Increase
your intake of omega-3 fatty acids - they help combat inflammation caused by
allergic reactions. Wild Alaskan salmon, freshly ground flaxseeds, and
high-quality fish oil supplements are good choices.
4.
Eat foods
rich in quercetin. This bioflavonoid can help prevent the release of histamine.
Citrus fruits, garlic, parsley, apples, broccoli and tea all contain quercetin.
5.
Eat plenty
of antioxidant-rich fruits, such as berries and cherries, to help modify the
body's inflammatory response.
6.
Try nasal
douching with a warm saline solution by using a Neti pot.
7.
Drink
plenty of water to keep nasal passages hydrated and to help flush out your
system.
