Spring is around the corner! If you suffer from spring allergies now is the time to start holistic remedies for allergies. Starting sooner helps to prevent or lessen allergic symptoms for the whole season. Here are some of my favorite supplements!
Spring Defense Tonic by Organic Olivia
This tonic is a great daily tonic to take throughout the spring season. The tonic is made of nettles for allergic responses, turmeric for anti-inflammation and lobelia for respiratory health. It’s easy to increase the dose as needed depending on symptoms. Take 1 dropper 2-3x/day and increase to 2 droppers up to 4x/day for acute symptoms.
Allergy New England Mix Spray by Natural Creations
This homeopathic spray is specifically designed for the pollen blend in New England. I recommend taking this allong with the Spring Defense Tonic or D-Hist (see below). This can be taken 4-6x/day as needed, depending on symptoms.
Bee Pollen by Beekeeper’s Naturals
Bee pollen is rich in vitamins and minerals. It can also help lower the severity of allergies. I love the taste of the Beekeeper’s Naturals bee pollen, but if you have access to a locally made bee pollen, it may help with your local pollen even more! Eat about 1 tsp per day – can be added to smoothies, yogurts or salads!
Nettles Tea
Nettles have a natural anti-histamine action and contain many minerals. Drink nettles daily can help with allergies on its own or alongside any other product mentioned here.
D-Hist Junior
This blend of herbals is a kid-friendly allergy remedy for kids! This amazing formula contains nettles, quercitin, bromelain and vitamin C. Kids, take 1+ chewable per day.
*Also available in an adult version. If you prefer to take capsules, the adult version would be a good alternatice to the Spring Defense Tonic.
