Holistic Tips to Thrive During Allergy Season

As beautiful as spring and early summer can be, for many people, this season also brings itchy eyes, sinus congestion, fatigue, and brain fog. Allergy season can feel like it takes over your life, but it doesn’t have to. With a holistic, root-cause approach, you can ease symptoms and support your body’s natural defenses, so you can actually enjoy the season.

How to Support Your Body Naturally Through Seasonal Shifts

Support Your Gut First

Your gut is home to about 70% of your immune system, so if it’s inflamed or imbalanced, your body may overreact to seasonal allergens. Supporting gut health can reduce overall inflammation and help modulate allergic responses. Try this:

• Eat a whole-foods diet rich in fiber, prebiotics, and fermented foods
• Avoid processed sugar, dairy, and alcohol, which can trigger inflammation
• Consider a quality probiotic to help regulate the immune response

Stay Hydrated (It’s More Important Than You Think)

Hydration thins mucus and keeps your sinuses functioning well. It also supports your lymphatic system, helping your body eliminate allergens and toxins more efficiently.

Pro tip: Add a pinch of sea salt and lemon to your water for added electrolytes and gentle detox support.

Load Up on Natural Antihistamines

Certain foods and supplements help your body block or break down histamine, the compound responsible for most allergy symptoms. Holistic favorites include:

• Quercetin (found in apples, onions, capers, and in supplement form)
• Stinging nettle tea
• Vitamin C: A natural antihistamine and immune booster
• Local honey: May help your body adapt to regional allergens over time

Reduce Your Toxic Load

Your body can only handle so much at once! When it’s overwhelmed with synthetic fragrances, environmental toxins, and processed food, allergies can become more severe. Try:

• Using natural cleaning products and fragrance-free laundry detergent candles or sprays
• Diffusing essential oils like eucalyptus, peppermint, or lavender instead of
• Keeping windows closed during high pollen days and using HEPA filters in your home
