5 Ways to Tackle Seasonal Allergies Naturally This Spring

Are you ready to learn how to stop allergies immediately at home? These natural remedies for allergies and sinus issues can help make that happen!

1. Shower

The best way to get rid of pollen and other allergens off your clothes and skin is to take a shower and change your clothes as soon as you come in from being outside for longer periods of time.

2. Neti Pot

They may sound scary, but a Neti Pot really can work! For allergies and stuffed-up sinuses, rinse your nasal cavity with a saline solution that will flush out allergens (like pollen) and loosen mucus.

3. Eat Local Honey

The jury is still out on this one, but it’s worth a shot! The theory is that by eating honey produced by bees in your region it can help reduce the allergen response in your body by building up your immunity to it. The bees transfer pollen from flower blossoms to honey, so if you eat a little honey each day you’ll gradually become immune to the effects of pollen.

4. Herbal Drops

If you suffer from an irritating cough or scratchy throat during the allergy season, there’s an easy way to get an extra drop of soothing relief. Just pop a natural Ricola herb drop. And drop it!

5. Eucalyptus Oil

Being a huge essential oil fan, this is one I use often, as well! Eucalyptus has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, which can help and the vapor provides a menthol-like sensation that can make breathing seem easier. Just add a few drops to a hot bowl of water and place your face (carefully and not touching) over the water and breathe in the vapors to clear your head!

With a few, simple home remedies, you can easily manage your allergy symptoms, naturally!

Water and juices can be great for helping with allergies. Make sure that you don’t drink dairy products as dairy can cause phlegm and drainage issues if you’re already dealing with allergies.
