Seasonal Allergies: The Naturopathic Approach

5/26/2015

0 Comments

 
From a naturopathic viewpoint, allergies are often associated with weak adrenal, immune, and digestive functions. Natural treatments are used to support and improve those functions and to alleviate hay fever symptoms.

Diet: identify any food sensitivities that can be contributing to the body’s overactive immune response. 

Acupuncture: works to balance the immune system and to relieve allergy symptoms such as: sneezing, nasal congestion, red itchy and watery eyes.

Nutritional Supplementation: Vitamin C and quercetin are natural anti-histamines which when used at the proper dose can help decrease allergy symptoms. There are also other vitamins and herbal remedies that can help improve the body’s immune reaction to allergies.
