What causes seasonal allergies?
Now that spring has sprung, it is time to get ready for the inevitable rise in allergy irritants. As plants start to produce pollen for...
With fall just around the corner, it is time to brace ourselves for the dreaded fall allergies. Fall allergies are typically derived from Ragweed and Ragweed pollen. Did you know that Ragweed pollen can travel for hundreds of miles in the wind? So even if there is no Ragweed where you live, you can still be affected by this pesky pollen. Ragweed season can last anywhere from six - ten weeks, so it is best to be prepared early.
Don’t worry though! I have compiled a protocol of my 4 Fall Allergy Essentials and why I love them.
Natural D-Hist from Ortho Molecular
Why I love it - This is my GO TO for allergies and even sinus congestion. My family and I have used it for years. There is even a chewable kid version.
Natural D-Hist has a blend of Vitamin C, Quercetin Dihydrate, Stinging Nettle, Bromelain, and N-Acetyl Cysteine.
Let's break down a few of these key ingredients and how they can help you get relief from fall allergies.
Vitamin C - A Natural Antihistamine
Vitamin C can do it all! Vitamin C has been proven effective at deactivating histamine, improving your immune system, and promoting cellular growth and repair…. Along with so much more!
Stinging Nettle - An Ancient Medicinal Plant
I could write a book about the history and many uses of the wonderful plan, the Stinging Nettle. Used in ancient Egyptian times for back pains, wound healing, immune boosting and various other ailments, this stinging plant has history as rich as its medicinal and nutritious uses.
In Natural D-Hist, Stinging Nettle is used to inhibit the formation of key inflammation that can trigger allergies, reduce inflammation, and relieve common allergy symptoms like sneezing & itchy eyes.
Bromelain - The Pineapple Enzyme
Bromelain is an enzyme that can be found in pineapples and pineapple stems. It must be raw and freshly cut, not canned. The Bromelain enzyme is both anti-inflammatory, and has anti-allergic properties - making it an integral component for fighting off fall allergies.
ClearLife Allergy Nasal Spray Extra Strength
Why I love it - ClearLife Allergy Nasal Spray is formulated to bring relief to most allergy symptoms, including:
- Hay Fever
- Sneezing
- Stuffy Nose
- Sinus Pressure.
The best part? This Extra Strength Nasal Spray works on both indoor and outdoor allergies, in any geographical region - making it a must have for travelling during allergy seasons!
This product is homeopathic, so it is not habit forming. It is gentle to use with no side effects or drug interactions.
ECO Neti Pot/Non-Breakable Travel - Himalayan Institute
Why I love it - If you are surrounded by all the allergens and inhaling them- it makes sense to rinse out those nasal passages from the allergens. It takes a bit to get used to. Nasal lavage, or nasal rinsing has been used for centuries! Make certain to use purified water and see the recommendation for salt below so you use the right stuff to make the rinse solution!
Biodegradable, compact for travel, and BPA free - this Neti Pot is the best on the market!
The Eco Travel Neti Pot is designed to:
- Remove excess mucus due to congestion.
- Rid nostrils of pollen and other allergens.
- Cleanse the nasal membranes of dust, smoke, or other airborne contaminants.
- Relieve nasal dryness due to air travel.
- Improve flow of breath before doing relaxation or meditation techniques.
Neti Salt Jar - Himalayan Institute
Why I love it - With no additives or anti-caking agents, this high quality neti salt is the perfect companion to the Eco Travel Neti Pot. Since this salt is so pure, it won’t further irritate or agitate your nasal passages when you use it.
Bonus - both the jar and measuring spoon are also biodegradable!
