Tips Tuesday: 5 Herbs for Allergy Relief

Allergy Season

Every year it comes, and every year it spreads a bit of misery to a large part of our population who are sensitive to pollens and blooms. Everything from trees, grasses, flowers, and weeds, allergy season hosts a barrage of challenges for so many people.

Yet, what if I told you that you didn't necessarily have to rely on your over the counter anti-histamines to help with the symptoms of itchy and watery eyes, stuffed up and itchy nose, cough, or itchy skin/hives?

Nature is so incredible, it has a tremendous expanse of herbs that specifically calm the immune response, lower histamine levels, clears up stuffy noses, and lessens coughs and post nasal drip.

The attached graphic is simply five of the many helpful herbs available. Despite them being readily common plants, these are powerful allies and when used in the right combination most of the time the use of over the counter allergy meds can be greatly reduced or stopped all together.

Please do not self dose, speak to an appropriate practitioner before starting with herbal medicine. Not all herbs are appropriate for certain medications or certain health issues.
