This article explains the uses of natural remedies for allergies. Up to 20% of Americans experience allergies and symptoms, sometimes, several months of the year. If you are having symptoms, try these natural remedies for allergies.
Allergies are an inflammatory response to a specific allergen or substance that provokes inflammation. Symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, watering eyes and can even become as severe as anaphylactic shock. Allergy tendencies are hereditary and may come from a depleted immune system and/or a diet rich in high allergy foods such as dairy, grains, pollution, and animal dander.

Modern medicine treats allergy symptoms with decongestants and antihistamines for systematic relief and their side effects. Use Homeopathic Combinations for specific allergies below. If you have a poor diet the symptoms may never go away.
From a natural perspective, allergies can be diminished by eliminating allergens of foods, chemicals, pollutants, dust and animals until some of the following natural therapies can help your body get the allergies under control and remove the underlying problems. Improve your diet and eliminate tobacco, alcohol, coffee, black teas, sodas and dairy products.
Enzymes taken on an empty stomach act as an anti-inflammatory.
Vitamin C stabilizes mast cells, which when irritated release histamines.
B Vitamins support the adrenal glands to reduce inflammation.
Quercetin on an empty stomach, stabilizes mast cells to reduce the histamine response. Use for 2 – 3 weeks before the allergy season starts.
Natural Healing Protocol — First, choose an herb. Then add a cell salt or cell salt solution. Finally, choose the homeopathic remedy that fits your situation best. Combining supplements will do more to support your body’s ability to function properly than using just one. Your ability to heal will depend on the severity and length of time symptoms have been present.
