Many people suffer from pollen allergies and other allergies. For some, this is worst during spring, but for others, it can last throughout the summer. We believe everyone should be able to enjoy summer and be outdoors in the sun, so here are 11 tips on how to treat pollen allergies naturally..
1. Avoid gluten and dairy products
Avoid gluten and dairy products for an extended period before, during, and after the pollen season. This supports both your immune system and breathing.
2. Rinse your nose
Rinse your nose daily with a nasal cleansing pot – mix lukewarm water with natural salt and add to a nasal cleansing pot. This cleans the nasal passages from allergens and irritating substances.
Nosebuddy + Himalayan salt
Nasal spray
3. Apply fatty cream under your nose
Apply a little fatty cream under your nose before going outside to create a "pollen trap".
4. Supplements and herbs that support the body
We recommend these:
Quercetin
Terranova Quercetin/Nettle complex
Pollenzym
Vitamin C or
Liposomal Vitamin C
Stinging nettle
Elderflower
Fytoenergi
Good Gut Bacteria
Turmeric
Astragalus
6. Drink water
Drink clean water, preferably with squeezed lemon. Lemon water cleanses the body from impurities.
7. Apple cider vinegar
Drink 1 teaspoon of organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar in water 1-3 times per day. It can help dissolve mucus and support lymphatic drainage.
8. Honey
Eat raw honey as is or in herbal tea. Why is raw honey effective? One reason is that it contains bee pollen, which is known to ward off infections and allergies and strengthen the immune system.
9. Vegetables & Green Leaves
Eat colorful vegetables and nettles. Leafy greens (including spinach, kale, collard greens, romaine, arugula) are good sources of essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and enzymes that facilitate and help reduce inflammation.
10. Fermented Foods
Eat fermented foods. Examples include sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, and kombucha.
11. Onions & Garlic
Eat onions and garlic. Garlic helps ward off infections, viruses, and even allergies.
