ingredients for fall allergy relief

Ragweed and mold and dust . . . oh my! For those who suffer from allergies, fall can be the worst allergy season.

Ragweed is the number one cause of fall hay fever symptoms in the United States. This weed flourishes in most parts of the country, with heaviest concentrations in the central and midwest sections. Mold is another culprit in fall allergies, as the weather changes and becomes cool and damp. If you suffer from fall allergies, don’t cover symptoms by using over-the-counter medicines with unwanted side effects. Take the natural approach with ingredients that help your body fight allergies and allergic inflammation, giving you relief naturally.

Quercetin is a potent bioflavonoid that is effective in reducing allergic and asthmatic reactions to pollens and airborne allergens. It is an antioxidant and helps control histamine. Unlike over-the-counter antihistamine drug formulas, which block the action of histamine after it is released, quercetin actually reduces the release of allergy-symptom-causing histamine in the body. The enzyme bromelain increases quercetin’s effects.

Nettles also help control histamine activity. One study found 48 percent of nettle users reported nettles were more effective than over-the-counter allergy medications. Another study found that nettle capsules significantly helped reduce sneezing and itching in people with hay fever.

Vitamin C benefits the whole body and is an essential part of the body’s defense against allergies. When taken consistently, it can help detoxify foreign substances in the body and counteract the effects of histamine. In addition, it improves immune function and fights infection.

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a potent antioxidant and precursor to the detoxifier glutathione, that can have a profound effect on respiratory health. Studies show NAC can help break up and thin lung mucus, improving conditions like bronchitis and allergies.

When taken properly, natural remedies can offer significant relief. They get to the core of the problem, rather than just covering the problem. So enjoy more time outside this fall season by reducing your allergy symptoms naturally. ●
