Natural remedies for seasonal allergies

Natural remedies for seasonal allergies are an effective and safe treatment approach. In some states of the US, spring allergies start at the end of January and the beginning of February and continue until June or even July.

Warm temperatures during the winter season cause vegetation to fertilize early, which means the pollution after a mild winter starts even before the expected time. A wet spring stimulates rapid vegetation development and causes a proliferation of mold. When this happens, the allergic reactions initiated in early spring would last up until mid-autumn. Seasonal Allergies

Some factors may cause the symptoms of seasonal allergies to be more aggressive during specific periods of the season. These factors include changes in climate, a time when pollution begins, and more. That’s why in different areas of the country we are observing different severity of the symptoms and different quality. These factors vary across geographical and climatic regions. They are also diminishing from east to west and from north to south.

Saplings, lawns, and flowers increase the pollens’ production during chilly nights and hot days.
Molds develop rapidly in high temperatures and increased dampness.
Morning hours are the time when the pollen concentration is the highest.
Rain rinses the pollen off, but the concentration of the pollen in the air usually increases after raindrops.
During the calm days when the air is steady, flying allergens are almost inactive.
During the breezy and hot time, the concentration of pollen climbs.
Almost all geographical areas contain allergens, so there’s no need to relocate. Moving to a different location does not significantly reduce exposure to allergens.

Ragweed is the most guilty allergen in the fall season. This herb belongs to the Asteraceae family and its spread worldwide pollutes during the late summer and autumn.

There are many other plants that cause allergies in a fall, including Cocklebur, Tumbleweed, Sagebrush, etc.

Seasonal Allergies

Some individuals do not experience any seasonal alleries attack at all. Some are sensitive to ragweed, while others are sensitive to pine trees. This implies that each body develops seasonal allergies differently, necessitating appropriate handling and management.

It is beneficial if a person knows which plant or herb triggers seasonal allergies in his/her body; however, it does not solve the problem in the majority of cases because it’s impossible to isolate the human organism from allergens.

Unfortunately, the use of antihistamine drugs (Claritin, Allegra, etc.) is also not a positive universal solution. The list of side effects from this class of medicine includes symptoms that are worse than the positive effects of these drugs.

The list of side effects from the pharmaceutical drugs used for seasonal allergies treatment includes

Somnolence.
Sleepiness.
The patient is experiencing lightheadedness and vertigo.
I am experiencing symptoms of stomach sickness and gagging.
Anxiety or irritability.
Urination problems.
Unclear vision.
Misperception

Of course, there are some hygienic actions that are recommended to take during the seasonal allergies period. These actions do not cure seasonal allergies, but they help manage the symptoms. During the seasonal allergies time, try to obey the rules listed below:

Observe pollen activity. You can always receive this information from the local weather channel or the internet.
Ensure that you have closed your windows and other air entrances in your home, apartment, and vehicle.
Try to be inside during the hours of the pollen’s highest concentration. Many air filters are able to prevent the flow of allergens inside your home. That means that the use of air conditioners is helpful for seasonal allergies management.
Take a shower, wash your hair and change your clothes after you’ve been working or playing outdoors.
Personal hygiene is critical. Wash out allergens from your body and hair in a shower after returning home. Furthermore, rinse your clothing as often as possible.

If you are suffering from seasonal allergies, don’t wait until it begins. There are many ways to prevent the development of seasonal allergies.

We offer holistic medicine for the treatment of seasonal allergies.

The majority of people, overwhelmed with runny noses and watery eyes from seasonal allergies, start taking antihistamine drugs. At some point, they realize that the effectiveness of these medicines is very low. Many of them begin to experience side effects. That’s why more and more individuals switch to natural remedies for seasonal allergies and start treatment with acupuncture, homeopathy, herbal medicine, and other alternative techniques.

Acupuncture for seasonal allergies – most popular on the list of Natural Remedies for Seasonal Allergies

Many studies conducted by the most prestigious clinics worldwide have proven the effectiveness of acupuncture for seasonal allergies.

Scientists scanned 422 individuals suffering from seasonal allergies in a study published on 19 February 2013 in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.

The scientists divided these patients into three groups that received different treatments.

Patients received 12 individually customized sessions of acupuncture for seasonal allergies. They were allowed to use Claritin if necessary.
Patients received 12 sham sessions of acupuncture for seasonal allergies and used Claritin if necessary
Patients took Claritin as directed and did not receive acupuncture treatment.

Following the study’s completion, we collected and statistically systematized all results.

80% of patients that were treated with classic acupuncture (group #1) reported noticeable progress. 90% of them did not even use Claritin.
15% from group #2 reported some improvement and stated that they use a lesser amount of Claritin than before. This fact speaks in favor of the so-called placebo effect, which is well-known in medical practice.
Patients from group #3 did not report any difference.

We offer homeopathy for seasonal allergies.

Homeopathy for seasonal allergies is not widely accepted by modern Western physicians in the United States. Each homeopath believes that at some point this medical philosophy will become respected by the majority of conventional physicians. When it happens, doctors will claim to have always believed in homeopathy. Doctors will point to traditional allergy healing techniques when the “micro dosages” of allergen are infused into the patient’s organism—vaccination.

Somehow it is correct in some measure, but homeopathic practitioners use significantly lesser doses than Western medicine allergy vaccinations. Also, what is more important is that homeopathy is not about microdoses but about the “like cures like” philosophy, which again sounds exactly like allergy shots that assume infusing into the patient’s organism the “element” that causes symptoms.

A clinical study performed by Dr. Taylor-Reilly from the University of Glasgow (Scotland) proved the helpfulness of homeopathy for seasonal allergies. David Taylor-Reilly is a professor of biochemistry. He also practiced homeopathy for more than 20 years. The Lancet magazine published the research results. This publication demonstrated that homeopathically treated extracts of 12 different ingredients commonly used for hay fever treatment appeared to be very helpful in decreasing the severity of seasonal allergies symptoms compared to patients that received a placebo.
