I mentioned recently how the seasons seem to be merging into one. We have just had the cold and flu season, which by the way some people are still suffering with. and now, yipee, it’s the onset of the allergy season. I am praying I don’t succumb. But, what about you guys? If you are one of the unfortunate souls that sniff, sneeze and itch through the allergy season, hopefully one of these natural herbs will help. NaturalOn have recommended several herbs for hay fever and allergies. Check them out below.
As tired as everyone might be of snow and cold, what follows is spring and springtime allergies. If you suffer from hay fever or other types of springtime allergies, you probably have a hard time deciding which is worse, winter weather or spring allergies.
Some allergies, such as hay fever, are seasonal issues which are often caused by the body’s immune system overreacting to harmless substances such as pollen, mites, dust, or mold. Other types of allergies can be caused by numerous factors including nutritional, infectious, or genetic issues. These types of allergies continue to increase even though there are numerous pharmaceutical “treatments.” A third type of allergic reaction is from certain foods or ingredients.
It has been estimated that about 40 percent of the population in the US has some sort of sensitivity to allergens. Although you probably turn to antihistamines to relieve your symptoms, these drugs are absorbed by the brain and cause sleepiness or daytime drowsiness. Herbal remedies don’t have these types of side effects. Herbs work differently than antihistamines because they work to protect the cells from histamines instead of blocking the body from producing them, as most pharmaceuticals do.
Here are the 12 best herbs that can provide relief from allergies and the discomfort they cause.
