Natural Ways to Relieve Seasonal Allergies

Spring brings a lot of beauty into your life – you are able to enjoy the outdoors thanks to 
the warmer weather, have vacation with the kids during spring break, and get to enjoy 
all the new fresh flowers and produce. Unfortunately, with more time outdoors and new 
flower growth comes the unfortunate seasonal allergies for many people. If you suffer 
from spring allergies, here are some natural remedies that can help.

Use Raw Honey

Among the different natural remedies for seasonal allergies, using honey is one of the 
best options. The trick here is to go for raw honey, preferably local honey instead of 
what you find in the supermarket or health food store. If you have a farmer’s market 
near you, that is probably the best place to find local, raw honey. Honey can not only 
help you relieve your current allergy symptoms, but using it on a regular basis year-
round can actually help you build up a tolerance to those pesky spring allergies.

Eat Anti-Inflammatory Foods

Your diet may also need to change when you start experiencing allergy symptoms. 
Follow an anti-inflammatory diet that consists of foods like broccoli, ginger, avocado, 
chia seeds, beetroot, pineapples, and nuts. You want to avoid foods that tend to cause 
extra inflammation and might worsen seasonal allergy symptoms, including dairy, fried 
foods, corn oil, and processed foods. Sticking to a diet mostly of clean and fresh 
ingredients will make a big difference in how you feel.

Try Essential Oils

Essential oils can be very healing for you, with many of them being great for allergy 
symptoms. With the right oils, you can reduce your allergy symptoms, getting a break 
from the headaches, coughing, sneezing, and breathing issues. The best oils for 
springtime allergies are basil, peppermint, and eucalyptus. These have a fresh scent 
that is perfect for spring, just make sure you get the pure essential oils and not 
fragrance oils.

Apple Cider Vinegar

If you have been reading about natural remedies, you have probably run across apple 
cider vinegar more than once. This seems to be a cure-all for everything from digestive 
issues to helping with heartburn. It also happens to be excellent when you have 
seasonal allergies. It is going to detox your lymphatic system and reduce mucus 
production, which helps with the coughing and sneezing from your spring allergies.
Don’t forget other natural remedies like avoiding the allergens and using a neti pot.
