Don't let allergy symptoms hold you back from enjoying the springtime.
Holistic Remedies for Allergy Relief
At Dr. Gengo's office, we believe in taking a holistic approach to allergy remedies.
Our team of medical professionals has identified several natural remedies that have proven effective in managing and alleviating allergy symptoms. It's important to note that natural remedies should not be used as a substitute for traditional allergy medication. However, they can be used as an adjunct to conventional treatments to provide additional relief and support to the immune system.
Here are a few natural remedies that can be used in conjunction with traditional allergy medications to provide optimal relief from allergy symptoms:
Saline Rinse:
Saline rinse involves using a saline solution to flush out the nasal passages and reduce inflammation. It's an effective way to alleviate congestion and other allergy symptoms. Saline rinse can be done using a Neti pot or nasal spray.
Honey with the Honeycomb and Bee Pollen:
The pollen collected by bees contains small amounts of the same allergens that trigger seasonal allergies. By consuming raw honey with pollen from local plants, your body can tolerate these allergens, reducing your overall allergic response.
Furthermore, raw honey is an excellent natural energy source and can boost your immune system, helping your body fight infections and diseases.
Turmeric:
Turmeric is a spice used in traditional medicine for centuries. It contains a powerful compound called curcumin, which has potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These properties make turmeric an excellent natural remedy for alleviating allergy symptoms and reducing inflammation.
Inflammation is a common symptom of seasonal allergies, and it can lead to uncomfortable symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, and itchy eyes. You can help reduce inflammation and alleviate these symptoms by incorporating turmeric into your diet. Turmeric can be consumed as a supplement or added to foods like smoothies or curry.
Probiotics:
Probiotics are live microorganisms that provide a range of health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. These beneficial bacteria are most commonly associated with improving digestive health. Still, recent research suggests that probiotics also play a role in modulating the immune system and reducing allergy symptoms.
A healthy gut microbiome is essential for optimal immune function. Studies have shown that probiotics can help promote a healthy gut microbiome by increasing the diversity of beneficial bacteria in the gut. This can help reduce inflammation in the body and improve overall immune function.
Consuming probiotics through food sources like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi can be a delicious and easy way to incorporate them into your diet. These fermented foods are naturally rich in probiotics and provide additional benefits like improved digestion and nutrient absorption.
Probiotic supplements are also available and can be a convenient way to boost your probiotic intake. These supplements, including capsules, powders, and liquids, come in various forms and can be tailored to your needs.
Quercetin:
Quercetin is a natural plant pigment known as a flavonoid. It is found in many plant-based foods and has been shown to have powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Quercetin has gained attention for its ability to help reduce allergy symptoms, making it a popular natural remedy for those suffering from seasonal allergies. Quercetin stabilizes mast cells in the body, which release histamine during an allergic reaction. By stabilizing these cells, Quercetin can help reduce the amount of histamine released and alleviate allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching, and nasal congestion.
Quercetin can be found in a variety of foods, including apples, berries, onions, and green tea. Consuming these foods regularly can help increase your intake of Quercetin and support your overall health. However, to get a therapeutic dose of Quercetin, it may be necessary to take a supplement. Quercetin supplements are available in capsule or tablet form and can be found in health food stores and online. These supplements are generally considered safe and well-tolerated but should be taken under the guidance of a healthcare provider. In addition to reducing allergy symptoms, Quercetin has been shown to have many other health benefits, including improved heart health, reduced inflammation, and enhanced immune function.
Acupuncture:
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. Studies suggest acupuncture can help reduce allergy symptoms by modulating the immune system and reducing inflammation.
Mind-body techniques:
Stress and anxiety can exacerbate allergy symptoms, so practicing mind-body techniques like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing can help reduce stress and promote relaxation. This can help alleviate allergy symptoms and improve overall well-being.
It's important to note that these holistic approaches are not a substitute for medical treatment
and advice from a healthcare professional. If you have severe or persistent allergy symptoms, it's essential to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the best course of treatment for you.
