Natural Allergy Remedies That Give Relief From Symptoms Without Side Effects

If you're thinking about taking natural allergy remedies, then you'll be pleased to know that they can alleviate symptoms without side effects like drowsiness, dry mouth or other complications. In this article, you'll learn about what to look for in a good supplement and some other tips you can take to get your allergies under control.

A good natural allergy remedy must be able to control inflammation effectively. Inflammation is the body's natural response to a toxin or pathogen. In the case of allergies, the body responds by sending white blood cells and fluid to the area that is affected by the allergens.

Taking natural anti-inflammatories can inhibit this response and stop the suffering. Natural supplements made from MSM, turmeric and ginger can be helpful. Also taking omega-3 fatty acids in the form of healthy oils, such as flax seed oil or olive oil can help. MSM is particularly helpful for treating hay fever.

The reason that natural allergy remedies are much more effective than drugs is that they do not have side effects and rather than just suppressing symptoms, they contain nutrients that help to build immunity and improve your response to allergens over time. If you are a long time allergy sufferer, the hope of permanent relief is meaningful goal to shoot for.

Ingredients to look for include eyebright, quercitin, arsen alb, nat moor and kali mur. This is a combination of herbs, flavonoids and tissues salts that maintain proper histamine levels (which prevents an allergic response) and promote healthy lungs and good circulation. This formulation is one of the most effective natural allergy remedies available today.

You may also want to cut certain foods from your diet that many people are allergic to like wheat and dairy products. Since dairy is a mucus-producing food, it can worsen post nasal drip and other allergy symptoms.

Another suggestion for those who also suffer from asthma or have other respiratory issues is to use eucalyptus oil. This is important because post nasal drip and excessive mucus can cause headaches, sore throats and problems breathing or bronchitis.

So there you have it: a natural allergy remedy that is healthy and will not make you feel drowsy or cause other unwanted side effects. Take care of your symptoms by giving your body the nutrients to build a strong immune system and restore proper histamine levels rather than taking over-the-counter or prescription drugs.

Top Herbal Remedies That Can Alleviate Allergy Attacks

We are exposed to allergens every season. During spring time, pollens from budding plants can be carried by the wind. During summer, people spend a lot of time travelling leading to the increased emission of smoke. During autumn season, everyone is trying to sweep leaves scattered on the ground which will then transfer dirt particles into the air. During winter, most people are confined inside the house causing prolonged contact with dusty objects and allergens.

Do not underestimate the symptoms of
allergy attacks because they can be quite debilitating. You cannot possibly concentrate while you are experiencing constant sneezing, coughing, itchy and watery eyes and wheezing. And these are just the mild symptoms. For other cases of allergies, the skin can swell up. Allergens might also cause an enlargement of the tonsils and inflammation of the throat lining which will make it harder for the sufferer to breathe.

When allergens enter our system, the body reacts by producing histamine. This is our body's way of fighting allergens. But histamine brings forth uncomfortable physical symptoms such as those mentioned above.


In order to relieve symptoms of allergies, you can try using herbal
remedies such as:

1. Chamomile - this has soothing and calming benefits. When taken in tea form, it can help reduce the duration of
allergy attacks, especially hay fever. This can also calm down your frazzled nerves.

2. Eucalyptus - If you suffer from runny nose, sneezing and coughing due to allergens, you should try this remedy. Steep it in hot water to release the essential oil of eucalyptus. Inhale the steam to soothe congestion of the nose. This will also soothe irritated throat lining.


3. Rooibos - This herbal remedy has anti-histamine properties. It reduces the effects of histamine production in your body. You can try taking this in tea form for better results.


4. Ginger - If your body and lungs feel inflamed, try taking ginger tea. Its tangy flavour can calm down the usual symptoms of this condition. This also has antimicrobial properties that can counteract the negative effects of harmful micro organisms.


5. Nettle - If your sinus got inflamed because of overproduction of histamine, try this. It can reduce sinus inflammation and relieve congestion. It also clears air passageway so you can breathe easily.


It is nice to have these herbal
remedies in your kitchen just in case you are suddenly seized with an allergy attack. Using natural treatment is better because it does not have side effects.

Finding Natural Allergy Remedies

Today's world has seen the increased use of chemicals in food, other products and in our air and water. This weakens the body's immune system. Over time, we become susceptible to various diseases and other health problems. Among the problems we and our children face are allergies.

What Is An Allergy?
An allergy is a reaction of the immune system to what is a normal substance in the environment. Common allergens are
  • Pollen
  • Dander of cats and dogs
  • Grasses
  • Milk
  • Wheat
  • Corn
  • Eggs
Treatments For Allergies
There are several ways to control allergies. The marketplace is full of different products. As treatments for allergies, they promise relief from your allergy problem. Many brand name products do provide temporary allergy relief, but at what cost? The ingredients within these substances can cause side effects making you feel tired, listless and sleepy. This is not true with natural allergy remedies. Natural allergy remedies consist of a multifaceted approach. This involves the following aspects of your life style:
  • Diet and Nutrition - select only high quality whole foods. This includes grains, legumes and vegetables. Steam instead of boiling or frying your food. Eat your food raw. This provides the enzymes you find your body will need to help digest your food completely
  • Consider nutritional supplements as beneficial in helping your body fight against an allergy problem
  • Get plenty of rest. Lack of sleep makes you more susceptible to allergies
  • Spend time out of doors in the sunshine and fresh air
  • Avoid stress, worry and other forms of anxiety. These contribute to the breakdown of your immune system and open you up to suffering from an allergy.
  • Do not sleep on bedding made up of down
  • Consider hydrotherapy
These methods may prove to be helpful. However, there are times when you may find you need to use a natural product.

Natural Allergy Remedies
Natural allergy remedies are those containing all-natural substances. The most common ingredients in these products are
  • Quercitin - a flavonoid found in apples and onions
  • Eyebright - this small, perennial plant has a long history in herbal treatments. Its anti-inflammatory and mild decongestant properties act together to reduce the response of your body to an allergen. Eyebright reduces eye irritation, sinus infections and the symptoms of hay fever
  • Arsen Alb
  • Nat Mur - a biochemic tissue salt that helps eliminate and control itching, hives, colds and hay fever resulting from exposure to allergens
  • Kali Mur - a tissue salt that helps control head colds and digestive weaknesses

How American Kids Are In The Grips Of Food Allergies

It is emerging that food allergies pose a greater problem than thought of in previous years in the United States. Eight percent of kids below the age of 18 are said to be affected by food allergies. The effects range from mild to severe reactions. The amount translates to about 6 million kids. The University of Chicago researchers set out to do a more thorough study of the extent of the effects of allergies amongst children. This is on a background of previous studies suggesting a prevalence of as low as 1 percent.

Experts carrying out the study noted that kids were exposed to a wide range of allergies simply because of the wide range of foods consumed. Peanut
allergy was the most leading in prevalence at a rate of 2 percent amongst a total of over 38000 kids surveyed. The prevalence of allergies also varied with age and social background of the kids involved in the study. For example it is thought using the results of the study that Asian and black kids have generally a higher likelihood of food allergies.

Other sources of
allergy reactions included milk, shellfish and tree nut. Reactions to these foods consumed often include wheezing, low blood pressure and anaphylaxis. other foods delivering severe reactions amongst kids in America include soy and fin fish. The rapid changes in food diets in much of the western world may also be blamed for higher prevalence of allergies. A huge number of American kids is failing to eat a healthy diet. Eating non-organic and processed foods may also be a viable reason for growing allergies amongst our kids.

Based on the research it would appear that children above the age of 2 years are suffering greater from
allergies. Statistically the study showed a prevalence of 6.3 percent amongst those under 2 and 8.6 percent amongst those above the age of 14. Perhaps confirming that the type of food consumed is correlated to the social status of the children the study revealed that kids living in households with yearly incomes of under $50000 were likely to be allergic. Perhaps those in low income families settled for the cheapest available foods whilst those from well to do families had an opportunity to pursue a healthy diet.

Understanding the prevalence of
allergies and the main foods causing them will likely improve how best we deal with the problem at a household level, community level and even national level.

Spring Allergy Season - A Few Good Remedies To Stave Off Sneezing And Allergy Symptoms

Well, spring is in the air, noses are sneezing and it's allergy season. The trees are starting to sprout new leaves and with the new leaves and spring flowers comes the dreaded allergy season. My worst allergy enemy is pollen. In fact, this morning I had to hose down my car because it had yellow layer of pollen on it...despite it being kept in a closed garage.

I've had a few
natural remedies that have really worked wonders against seasonal allergies. Ordinarily I would be sneezing, stuffed up and very tired. Instead, I can get the paper without a full on allergy attack all without the use of conventional pharmaceutical drugs.

An allergy is the result of your immune system's over-reaction to pollens, grass, airborne fungi and even certain foods and cosmetics. When an allergen is introduced, the body fights back by producing an excess of inflammatory chemicals, such as histamine, from mast cells. This attempt to seek-and-destroy the allergen brings on the familiar symptoms of runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing.


OTC antihistamines merely block the action of histamine at receptor sites. They only suppress the appearance of physical symptoms but do nothing to redirect the underlying cause. Antihistamines also often produce undesirable side effects, such as dizziness, drowsiness and even depression. Therefore treating
allergies naturally gets to the root cause of the symptoms and side effects we detest.

During serious bouts with allergies, you may want to assume an all vegan diet, or at least consider reducing your consumption of meat and dairy products.


ESSENTIAL HERBS TO FIGHT allergies


Nettle (Urtica dioica): Nettle has enjoyed a long history as a treatment for seasonal allergies. Dr. Andrew Weil, author of natural Health, natural Medicine (Houghton Mifflin, 1998) reports success with this herb to treat his own allergies. Be careful not to confuse this herb with another species, U. Urens, which contains high levels of leukotrienes and histamine.


Ephedra (Ephedra sinicia): Also known as mahuang, the generic name of this herb may be familiar since a synthetic version of its primary alkaloid, ephedrine, can be found in many conventional
remedies as pseudoephedrine. This herb has been used to treat bronchial and inflammatory disorders in Chinese medicine for more than 5,000 years. In fact, ephedra is often used to treat asthma. Note: Ephedra can raise both systolic and diastolic blood pressure and can cause excitability in some individuals.

Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea): Also known as purple coneflower, this Native American herb is one of the best immune enhancing supplements you can take. Echinacea has been the subject of more than 50 years worth of study and has clearly demonstrated an ability to increase the production of a number of T-cells and their distribution in the blood.


Garlic (Allium sativum): The antiviral properties of garlic have been well examined for many years. In Russia, the herb is known as "Russian penicillin" where it was once used to treat respiratory disorders in hospitals. Recent Japanese studies have found that aged garlic extract stimulates NK activity and a potent antimicrobial action against bacteria and yeasts. Garlic owes its efficacy to allicin, a byproduct derived from the amino acid alliin reacting with the enzyme alliinase. The biosynthesis of these constituents however, can be unstable in their natural state. Raw garlic is certainly good for you and has several health benefits to offer otherwise, but the enzyme necessary to produce allicin is usually destroyed in the stomach before the conversion can take place. For this reason, enteric-coated tablets of dried or powdered garlic tablets is the best form of supplementation to take advantage of this herb's immune-boosting qualities. Note: Garlic, and other alliums can raise or lower blood sugar levels. Consult your health care practitioner if you are diabetic or hypoglycemic.


Honey helps your body build antibodies to the allergens themselves. Using honey in teas or on bread daily can help ward off allergies. The key is to use locally grown, organic honey. The sames bees populating the plants near you will help you build up an immunity to the allergens in your area. (For more info about honey - read our article about the benefits of honey.)


Dosages:


Stinging nettle - 250 mg. freeze-dried extract every 2-4 hours or until symptoms subside


Ephedra: 12.5 - 25 mg. 3x day


Quercetin - 400 mg. 2x day between meals


Echinacea - 350 mg 3x day


Garlic - tablet equivalent of 10 cloves of garlic


Honey- 2 tbs daily

Natural Allergy Remedies That Can Provide Allergy Relief

When allergies strike, most allergy sufferers head to the drugstore where they purchase an antihistamine. They take it, and soon their symptoms begin to subside. They're all set until the next outburst.

Over-the-counter antihistamines are effective but unfortunately, taking them often causes unpleasant side effects such as drowsiness and a feeling of lethargy. If you're tired of feeling tired when allergies strike, maybe it's time you reach for natural allergy remedies instead.

Natural allergy remedies come in all forms and are made from many different types of ingredients including herbs, plants, ground up honey bees, and other vitamins and nutrients. Most natural allergy remedies have been designed to either stop histamine outbursts from occurring in the first place, or they act to combat the individual symptoms that occur with the release of histamines. They accomplish these tasks naturally, which is why unpleasant side effects are non-existent.

Besides treating allergy symptoms with all-natural ingredients, the term "natural allergy remedies" has come to mean something more. In addition to being a natural and effective way to treat allergy symptoms after they develop, the term can be used to describe taking control of your surroundings so that you limit exposure to the allergens that cause you trouble. For example, if pet dander is a problem, don't keep pets. Or if you must, you've got to be vigilant about keeping pet dander under control. Likewise with dust mites. You need to protect your furnishings with casings that keep this type of problem under wraps. Also keep in mind that your diet may be causing your allergies to be worse. Changing to a healthy diet can make a huge difference.

Watching what you eat is important if you've got food allergies, so taking steps to control your diet can also be considered a natural allergy remedy. In addition to closely monitoring what you eat, there also are foods you can consume that are known to contain naturally-occurring histamine combatants. For example, Quercitin, a flavinoid found in onions and apples, is capable of blocking the release of histamines which cause the familiar allergy symptoms like runny nose, congestion, and itchy, watery eyes. Besides being effective against allergies, there are countless other health benefits of eating these and other types of fruits and vegetables, like lowering your risk of developing heart disease and keeping your blood sugar levels stable.

If you're like a lot of people and find that monitoring what you eat is too much work, then consider taking a daily multi-vitamin. Many of the vitamins and minerals benefit the immune system which in turn helps keeps the symptoms of allergies under control.

With so many natural allergy remedies being offered, understanding the ingredients as well as the actual benefits of each can be mind-boggling. Even though these types of products are available without a prescription, if you're confused, it might be advisable to speak with an allergist or someone who specializes in natural remedies. These specialists can help explain how each of the individual ingredients work and why they're thought to be effective. This type of information may help you decide whether natural allergy remedies are right for you.

Sometimes Simple Natural Allergy Remedies Are The Most Effective

Today there are literally millions of people who suffer the effects of allergies. Most allergies are treated with medications that may or may not have side effects to the person taking them. Although these medications are very effective many people prefer to use natural allergy remedies  instead of always using expensive drugs or over the counter medication.

Natural Allergy Remedies That Work

Use a Neti Pot: Neti Pots are small ceramic pots that that have a long spout on them. This slim long spot will allow you to to rinse you sinus passages with a saltwater solution. This is a ancient method that has been used in many parts of the world for many centuries.

Diet: Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce the symptoms and inflammation of allergies. Omega-3's are found in fish, flax seed oil and walnuts. You may also want to add some hot sauce or horseradish to your meals as spicy foods act as a natural decongestant.

Lifestyle changes: Aside from eating different foods doing a few different things can have a dramatic impact on your symptoms. Little things like not leaving windows open or using window fans to draw in outside air can drastically reduce you allergy symptoms. And replacing you furnace filter with a high performance allergy reducing unit will greatly reduce microscopic dust, dander and pollen in your home.

Stay Inside: The easiest of the natural allergy remedies is to just stay indoors when you know the pollen count will be high. Unfortunately pollen usually peaks during the nicest weather of the year and staying indoors maybe hard but may be worth it if your allergies are very bad.
While the above natural allergy remedies may prove to be effective for you they are just a small sampling of what can be put to use to control your allergies naturally.

Acupuncture and Acupressure: The Best Natural Cures For Allergies

Allergies are such type of medical conditions that they can affect anyone and everyone. Right from children to elder people, almost all are vulnerable to allergies. There are different types of allergies that affect people at different stages of their life. These allergies mostly include food allergies, skins allergies, respiratory allergies and others. The symptoms that people experience in these allergies are also complicated and can affect the entire body of an individual. For instance, a person suffering from allergies shows symptoms that affects their respiratory organs, skin, eyes and even the entire face of an individual. Considering the severity of the symptoms, it is essential for people suffering from allergies to take all the necessary treatments that would help them to cure allergies.

People who suffer from allergies usually take a normal treatment consisting of medications. These people have to suffer from the various side effects which come with the medications and that too without getting rid of the allergies completely. For such people, natural cures for allergies such as Acupuncture and Acupressure, are a good treatment option. The most vital thing about these types of natural cures for allergies is, if done properly, they don't involve any kind of side-effects.


The other benefit of treating allergies with Acupuncture and Acupressure is, as opposed to western form of treatments which focus only on eliminating the symptoms, these traditional Chinese medicines provide both treatments from the symptoms as well as the root problem. Due to their ability to regulate the imbalance which is the primary cause behind allergies these natural treatments provide a long term treatment from the allergies.


Acupuncture involves the insertion of needles into specific points to release the blocked energy flow. This, in turn, helps to cure allergies in the certain organs of the body as they get all the necessary energy that is vital for them to fight the allergic reactions. The same thing applies for Acupressure. The only difference is Acupressure doesn't involve insertion of needles into the specific points of the individual. In Acupressure, certain points known as acupoints are pressurized with the help of fingers. Acupressure also helps to eliminate the blocks that stop the energy flow and ensure a smooth and balanced energy flow throughout the body.


When to undergo these treatments?


If you are disturbed with seasonal allergies then the best time to undergo these natural allergies cures is two-three months before the season which you think causes your allergies. While undergoing this treatment, tell the practitioner or the person under whom you are taking these treatments to focus mostly on eliminating the complete
allergy and not only the symptoms.

Where to undergo these treatments?


As Acupuncture involves insertion of needles into the specific points related to the organs of an individual, chances of things going wrong are plenty. It may also lead to some serious consequences. Thus, to make the most out of these natural cures it is advisable that you undergo these treatments under the guidance of a certified Acupuncturist and a certified Acupressurist. Though Acupressure is much safer than Acupuncture, it is still advisable that you undergo this treatment from a professional Acupressurist as the professionals are the ones who know the exact acupoints to pressurize to ensure free flow of energy into the body.

Natural Allergy Remedies

What is the allergic reaction and what are natural allergy remedies?
The understanding of the nature of an allergic reaction will allow you to eliminate unpleasant symptoms, being guided by ordinary common sense. First of all, imagine a grain of pollen which is covered by needles and irritants. And now pretend that this enemy gets down into your nose and is held by a soft mucous tissue layer. This mucous tissue layer covers our bronchial and nasal ways and contains immune cells which refer to as corpulent cells. At top of each corpulent cell there are sensory receptors, and at contact of a receptor to potential allergen; pollen, a mold or wool of animals, it submits an alert signal on a corpulent cell which in the response lets out Histamine and other chemical substances. Histamine causes a number of chemical reactions which should assist an organism to get rid of allergens, you starting to sneeze, eyes weeping, whole body is itching.

WHAT TO DO? First of all. If you have a little baby, who is just learning to eat solid food, that's a time when food allergic reactions will start it's way in the body. If you want to avoid it, introduce the new food to the baby by gradually increasing the volume, starting from one drop per day. Next day, give baby two drops, and next day three drops. Do the break for one week and then start again with the small piece, next day two small pieces and so forth until baby could eat the whole thing. If you do that, your baby will not have any Food Intolerance and your baby will not need any natural allergy remedies. But what about seasonal allergies? Which natural allergy remedies we can find?

Foods Are The Natural Allergy remedies. People who consumed foods rich in omega-3 fatty acid fatty acids were less likely to have allergic reaction symptoms than those who did not regularly consume these foods. Omega-3 fatty acid helps fight inflammation and can be found in cold-water fish. Walnuts and flaxseed oil, as well as grass-fed meat and eggs are also great Natural allergy remedies.

Bees create natural allergy remedies too.

Bee Pollen increases the vitality, raises physical endurance, gives support to immune system, digestion, promotes weight lose, strengthens mental wellness, protects your heart, fights cancer, an arthritis and even stress. It is believed, that the use of bee pollen internally promotes delay of aging, and conservation of energy of a youth. Bee pollen is one of the most powerful natural allergy remedies that have ability to reduce of an allergy and a hay fever.Nature has a lot of natural allergy remedies to offer.

Pleurisy root is one of straight forward natural allergy remedies. Pleurisy or Plevritis is an inflammation of the tissues, pleura, surrounding the lungs and lining the rib cage. This natural allergy remedies was widely used as an expectorant in the late 19th century. It has been suggested for allergies, colds, flu, bronchial and pulmonary problems. Occasionally this cure was given with cayenne pepper at the beginning of cold. American Indians chewed the dehydrated root or made a tea by boiling the root as a remedy for bronchitis, pneumonia, and dysentery.

Neti Pots is one of the easiest natural allergy remedies. You can cure allergies by washing away allergens with seawater? Neti pots, small vessels forged like Aladdin's lamp, have been utilized in India for 1000s of years to flush the sinuses and keep them clear. It's a thought that takes some getting used to for most Westerners, but it's a little like applying nasal spray. A little douse of saltwater can wash away those thorny pollen grains and help treat allergic reactions and other forms of sinus congestion.I found that nasal flushing was a gentle and one of the simplest natural allergy remedies to treat seasonal allergic reactions in minors, and greatly cut down their use of antihistamines.You can just use your cupped hand rather than a neti pot to wash sinuses, but netis are affordable, and a lot of people find them much easier to apply. To flush your sinuses, mix a quarter to a one-half teaspoonful of none iodized common salt into a cup of warm water and pour it into the pot. Leaning over a sink with your head slightly angled to one side, and then put the spout of the neti into one nostril and let the water to drain down the another nostril. Apply near one-half of the solution, and then repeat on the remaining side, angling your head the different direction. Gently blow out each nostril to clear them up totally. Neti pots are widely available on the internet and at natural food stores. Use your pot roughly twice a day during allergy season, especially in the morning and after spending time outside. You also can apply a neti pot prior to bedtime to prevent snoring caused by allergic reactions and boost optimal overnight breathing.

Nettle is one of the most popular natural allergy remedies. If you decide you want an antihistamine but want a natural alternative, stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) behaves in much the same way as a lot of the drugs sold to treat allergic reactions, but without the unwanted side effects of dry mouth and sleepiness. Nettle in reality subdues the body's ability to develop histamine. It's a common grass in many regions of the United States, but the most functional healthful form to use as part of natural allergy remedies is a lyophilized extract of the leaves sold in capsules. Studies have shown that taking about 300 mgs every day will offer relief for most people, although the effects could hold up only a couple of hours. You also could make your own tinctures or teas with stinging nettle.That's all for today about natural allergy remedies.

Natural Allergy Relief - Squashing Allergies and Their Symptoms

Having allergies can be one of the most annoying conditions you can have the pleasure of being blessed with. Your head is clogged or nose is running a marathon, your eyes are watery or itchy and you have been blessed so many times you would think God himself had heard you sneezing. It makes your day miserable and most medications you can take will only make you sleepy.

Allergies can be caused from almost anything, mold, dust, pollen from trees or flowers, animal fur, insect bites, household chemicals and more to list the most common. The excess of mucus can be caused by a poor diet and even stress can bring allergies on. To get rid of allergies naturally with no side effects, we suggest some of the following remedies and then changing your diet for continued prevention.


For relief of your allergies you can go to any local health food or herbal store and pick up these herbs. You should pick the one that fits you best and if you don't see improvement within three days discontinue and re-evaluate your symptoms and back to the drawing board. Use the remedy that best fits your symptoms. Again, only choose one remedy for three days before trying another. Stop taking remedy as soon as you experience
relief.

Allium Cepa- If you have burning, watery eyes and a runny nose. Your symptoms feel better outside in the open air.

Euphrasia- Can be taken if you're experiencing burning teary, red eyes. You can also use Eye-Bright, 5 drops ratio to ½ ounce saline for your irritated eyes. Apply twice daily.
Sabadilla- Take this if you suffer from repeated "ah choo's" i.e. sneezes and runny nose.
Histaminum- Are you experiencing normal allergy symptoms which have a sudden onset? This helps!!!
Natrum Muriaticum- Take this if you sneeze at the sun and get re-occurring cold sores. Craving salt might also be a concern for you.
Silica- Can be used when upper respiratory problems develop into an infection, do you feel irritable and tired??? Silica screams "USE ME!"
Nux Vomica- You may wake up sneezing and crave stimulants such as tobacco or sweets.
Arsenicum Album- You will have burning eyes and constant runny nose causing red and sore irritation under the nose. You are sensitive and have many allergies.
Lycopodium- For people with only one-sided nasal congestion and throat issues. If you are in this category, you might also experience bloating after meals.
Pulsatilla- Do your allergies get worse in warm conditions or have a lot of congestion at night. This one is definitely for you...
Stinging nettles - For Hay Fever.

I would also suggest taking 1,000 mg of Vitamin C which is a
natural anti-histamine, three to five times daily. If this gives you diarrhea you can decrease the dosage or try taking Quercitin. Also, Butterbur has been studied and found to be better than Allegra and comparable to Zyrtec. In the evening, take a hot bath with Chamomile or Lavender to induce sweat and clean out toxins.

Now that you have gotten rid of the symptoms of your allergy, try some of these dietary changes to prevent further episodes.


We Recommend:


Increase your whole grains. This is something we should all be doing anyway.

Increase you intake of fresh vegetables and fruits to help with detoxification. You might try a 3 day vegetable juice fast for best results.
Cold pressed oils and raw seeds and nuts.
You will need to increase your lean protein such as seafood and tofu.
Drink all the water you can. This will cut mucus secretions.
Take flaxseed or flaxseed oil to reduce inflammation, 2 tablespoons every day.

We do not recommend:


Dairy products, fried foods or processed foods, refined flours, chocolate and eggs. Dairy only makes mucus secretions thicker.

Cut down on fats and oils and trans-fatty acids.

We also have many products in the surrounding areas of this page; please click on any of these remedies for reoccurring symptoms and relief remedies.

Natural Cat Allergy Remedies For Allergic Cat Lovers

Cat dander is one of the most common allergies in people, and natural cat allergy remedies are a good choice for many who do not want to feel the effects of anti histamines. Some allergic reactions to cats include a skin rash, sneezing, congestion and headaches. If you suffer from asthma, a severe allergic reaction can precipitate a severe asthma attack.

If you own a cat, even though you are allergic to cats, you can do many things to prevent or lessen severe allergic reactions to your cat. Cleanliness is the biggest piece of your prevention plan. Where ever your cat sleeps should be vacuumed often to collect all loose hair and dander. Using a bagless vacuum is a good choice, because you can empty it as soon as you are done with the vacuuming. You can also use a steam cleaner around your home and back it up with an air purifier.

There are many natural cat allergy remedies that do not involve medications that will make you feel groggy. You can use such herbal remedies as alum cepa, euphrasia, natrum muriaticum, borage, ginseng, elder and nux vomica. These are all naturally occurring herbs and are 100% safe when ingested. Homeopathic and herbal remedies are a good alternative to conventional treatment choices.
Often, using natural cat allergy remedies can help to relieve the symptoms and reactions that you have to a cat's dander. This can become very important when you have no control over the environment, such as when you are visiting a friend's home. It is always the person who has an allergy to cats that a cat will naturally gravitate to.

If you are severely allergic  to cats, and you do not have a cat, you may want your friends that have cats to visit you at your home. Don't worry about offending anyone, if they are truly your friend, they will understand.

Natural Cures For Soy Allergy Symptoms

Living with a soy allergy requires a lot of detective work, scrutinizing every label trying to find just the slightest clue connecting any given product with soy. It requires patients, attention to detail, and knowing the facts, but sometimes coming in contact with the “dreaded bean” in some form or another can be unavoidable; take dining out for example. When you go to a restaurant your fate is basically in the hands of the “man behind the curtain”, or apron as the case may be. No matter how well you may have informed the wait staff, if even one person handling your meal is unfamiliar with the extent of the grip in which the soy industry has on the food industry you’re in for a rough night.

Dealing with the
symptoms of an allergic reaction to soy can surly be an uncomfortable and even painful experience. Symptoms usually strike within an hour or so of ingesting the allergen, and can take on many forms. For me the itchy hands and swollen downright painful knuckles is the first to surface, and signs of it can remain for a week or so. I’ve been living with this food allergy for some time now, and as careful as I am and knowing what I know I still find myself from time to time wondering how, when, and where I came in contact? It doesn’t seem to matter if it’s the 1st or the 20th reaction they don’t become any less stressful but I have found ways to help my body (and my mind) cope. Because of my own personal beliefs concerning health and wellness, my methods are a natural approach to dealing with a food allergy. That’s not to say I haven’t tried the “over the counter” medicinal approach, but I found these to work just as well with none of the side effects.

The best immediate relief from the intense itching you will most likely experience is ice. Simply grab a couple of ice cubes from the freezer and rub them around your hands making sure to get all of the affected areas. Do this until the ice cubes have completely melted. This should keep the itching at bay, and you can safely repeat this as the
symptoms resurface. Other good topical aids are creams or ointments containing Comfrey, Arnica Montana, Aloe Vera, Witch Hazel, etc. The healing and soothing abilities from these natural ingredients are untouched by most if not all of those manmade you’ll find in Rx’s. These are by no means a “cure alls”, but they should give you the immediate relief you’ll need to allow you to take further action, as well as the constant relief you’ll need, while the natural remedies below take effect.

The only true way to combat an allergic reaction is from within. Food allergies start with digestion, allowing undigested food molecules to enter the blood stream where your immune system begins attacking them as it would any unwanted bacteria. This inflammatory response causes cells within the body to release histamines all in an attempt to deal with this allergen, and ironically is the cause of all your discomfort. In order the aid the body in this fight you must help support the area’s most affected. This means support the immune system, digestion, and combat the inflammation at the source.


Let’s start with the immune system. There are many nutrients that aid an immune system in need, vitamins A,C,D,E as well as zinc to name a few, but possibly the most important is vitamin C. It’s definitely a nutrient you want on the front lines when your immune system is in battle; it’s vital to a strong healthy immune system, as well as effective at detoxifying the body when taken in larger doses (always consult your health practitioner for a proper safe dosage).


Another important type of nutrient to help support the body during an allergic reaction is flavonoids which are found in many fruits and vegetables. They have an amazing ability to reduce inflammation within the body, and recent studies have uncovered their ability to act as antioxidants. A great example of a flavonoid is Quercitin, and there are many great food sources containing this nutrient. Some of the foods with the highest levels per serving are apples, onions, leafy greens such as kale, and even black tea; I like black current tea since the black current berry is a good food source. You can also get higher doses from a supplement which can be found at most any health food store (always consult your health practitioner for a proper safe dosage).


Another good natural remedy worth mentioning for combating inflammation is Turmeric, an ingredient in curry and yellow mustard. It’s been used within the Indian culture for many years, and has only recently started to become recognized by western civilization. Although it can be found in supplement form I get my daily dosage in spice form; I recommend organic.


Your digestive system is another area that needs your full support during these trying times. Proper digestion is vital in preventing allergic reactions, and you can help support this by giving your body the enzymes and healthy bacteria (probiotics) it needs. A great digestive enzyme for such a task is Bromelain, and a great food source for this is pineapple. It’s best to stick with the whole uncut pineapple when possible, since it starts to lose its nutrients rather quickly once it’s been cut into. Both Bromelain and Probiotics are key players when it comes to proper digestion, and both are readily available in supplement form and can be found at most health food stores (always consult your health practitioner for a proper safe dosage).


Finally to address the “mind” part of “body and mind” when it comes to coping with allergic reactions, the secret weapon is breathing and when done properly can be a very effective tool. To control your breathing to the point of having absolute control over the body’s most fundamental actions, whether it’s slowing the heartbeat or increasing the body’s tolerance to pain, is at the core of many ancient beliefs. Controlled breathing is used in meditation, yoga, martial arts, as well as in childbirth. The key here is to breathe from your diaphragm not your chest, and this can be mastered by placing the palm of your hand over your stomach as you breathe concentrating on every breath. I’ve used this technique many times, and in combination with the remedies above I have found it to be amazingly useful.

Allergy Remedies Defined

If you're not a seasonal allergy sufferer, then you probably know someone who is. Allergies tend to appear in the fall and spring months. It is hard to go out and enjoy the spring flowers or the beautiful colors in the fall. The burning sensation along with itchy and stinging of the eyes are the norm. Household dogs and cats are kept away from sufferers. Headaches add to the distress.

You may well wonder if there are any allergy remedies sufficient enough that allow you to enjoy the seasons without suffering the symptoms. OTC medications offer only temporary relief of symptoms, but have side effects such as drowsiness, that can't be afforded as per our daily lifestyle. Here are a few natural
allergy remedies that deserve a try.

You first need to understand the overall dynamics of allergies. The pollen, pet dander and mold have a bad habit of inserting itself on the lining of the mucous membranes. One grain of these aggressors will become attached to your mucous membranes, in nasal passages, causing your immune system to extract large amounts of histamines in response. These histamines cause your body to respond to the invasion, producing a number of reactions that cause your body to flush these unwanted invaders. The results of this flushing action are the symptoms of allergies, which are the cause of your intense suffering!


Conventional over the counter anti-histamines destroy the body's natural defensive efforts to rid your body of the offenders, while subduing the symptoms which caused you to seek out medication in the first place. Aren't there any natural allergy solutions that allow the body to fight these symptoms?


As a matter of fact, yes there are non drug induced remedies available. Natural allergy remedies aim to prevent symptoms before they occur. Here is just a short list of allergy remedies that are definitely worthy of consideration.

Dietary input figures prominently in the impact of your allergy symptoms. Studies have shown that foods rich in the Omega-3 fatty acids tend to suppress allergic reactions. Cold water fish, flaxseed, naturally raised meats and eggs, as well as walnuts are rich in this Omega-3 nutrient. Include these foods in your daily diet for a positive effect.


Among the natural allergy remedies, try spicy Dijon mustard, horseradish or hot chili peppers as a nasal decongestant. You'll experience immediate relief.


In India, the Neti pot is the top choice. A Neti pot is a small vase of salt water which is used like a nasal spray, deactivating the offending intruder, both preventing allergy attacks and relieving nasal congestion.


There are plenty of herbal allergy remedies available. Butterbur, a common weed in Europe, provides an alternative to over the counter anti-histamines. Papaya contains proteins, the same ones that relieve
allergy symptoms. Eyebright also relieves nasal congestion, thick mucous and coughs. Hay fever and nasal congestion may be relieved with skunk cabbage root.

Five Secret Natural Allergy Remedies To Try

Approximately one out of every ten Americans suffers from allergies of some type. Allergies are the body's natural reaction to any foreign substance. When the body encounters one of these substances, it produces many different substances, including histamines. Once released into the body, these cause tissue swellings called allergies. Allergies can affect many different parts of the body including the lungs, skins, nasal passages, sinuses, and stomach. Symptoms of an allergic reaction can include intestinal pain, bloating, mood swings, exhaustion, throat swelling, difficulty breathing, increased heart rate, swelling or bloating of the skin, watery eyes, itchy nose, and sneezing. There are many things that cause allergies including pollen, mold, flowers, dust mites, grass, and spores. Additionally, food and chemicals can be an allergy trigger. The medical community has come up with all sorts of ways to treat allergies, but many people shy away from modern day medicine because of the extensive side effects associated with some of the treatments. It is often the case that the treatment is worse than the cure.

One natural allergy remedy is butterbur. Butterbur is a plant that grows in marshy areas and has three foot leaves. They can be found across Europe, in Asia, and in North America. It is a gentle, natural remedy that is free of antihistamines for those who wish to treat hay fever. It has been used for centuries to treat all sorts of ailments, but it has been found most effective at treating allergy style symptoms. It can also help reduce the muscle spasms associated with allergies. Butterbur is typically taken in tablet form, as the plants themselves can be toxic if not properly processed. The roots are dried, beaten to powder, and combined with other natural ingredients to create the tablet. It is best to take one tablet three times a day, but consult the packaging for more specific instructions.

Another natural allergy remedy is locally grown honey. This product can assist with hay fever and other pollen allergic reactions. It is important to start with small amounts. Approximately a teaspoon per day should help. You must first ensure the honey agrees with your body. If it doesn't, discontinue use immediately. If you notice discomfort in the gastrointestinal area, it is important not to use it again. The goal is to work up to several teaspoons per day to ward off hay fever. If you decide to use honey, be sure to do several things first. Talk to your doctor before you try any natural remedies. Remember that you might have a bad reaction to the honey. Not every treatment works for every person. You should only purchase non-pasteurized honey. The honey should be purchased from a local beekeeper or at a local farmer's market to ensure the freshest quality available is consumed. Try to make sure the honey was collected at the same time of year that you suffer from allergies. This will increase the effectiveness of this cure. To make sure you get the best results possible, use the honey one month before your typical allergy season. Using it in the midst of your difficult season won't be enough. Also, do not heat the honey. It decreases its natural healing properties. One last note, begin with a small amount and increase gradually.

Another natural allergy remedy is green tea. People who regularly consume green tea have noticed that they suffer less from sneezing, coughing, and watery eyes. Green tea is best consumed in purer forms. Don't pollute it with additives like honey, and don't use chemically processed tea either. It is important that you consume at least one cup per day. You should try to work your way up to three cups per day. It does not matter if the tea is consumed hot or cold.

An additional natural allergy remedy is Echinacea. This herb has been known to treat all sorts of problems, including hay fever. It aids in the production of interferon, which assists with decreasing the swelling in tissues, which, in turn, helps stop the runny nose and watery eyes associated with allergies.

One final natural allergy remedy is vitamin C. You become extremely susceptible to allergens if your diet does not contain enough of this essential vitamin. Vitamin C detoxifies foreign substances entering the body and strengthens your cells. Dosages can be up to one thousand milligrams per day.
