10 Natural Treatments For Seasonal Allergy Sufferers

Raw Local Honey

The theory behind consuming raw, local honey is that local honey contains pollen from local plants and that, like an immunization, consuming it can help the body develop an immunity to local pollens that might be troublesome for some. Unfortunately, there is no evidence to support this theory, but many people swear by this practice in an effort to counteract their seasonal allergies. If you choose to use this treatment, it's best to take about a teaspoon of raw, unprocessed honey every day which comes from a source as close as possible to where you live. In some cities, it is possible to get honey that is produced right in your neighborhood.

Mold

One of the most common allergens within the home and outside is mold. The hard thing about being allergic to it is that many don't know they have this allergy unless they go for testing. Once identified as an allergen, it is possible to reduce mold spores in the house by using a HEPA filter for home ventilation systems or in the rooms that are most frequently used. Run an exhaust fan in rooms that have lots of humidity, such as in the bathroom, or in an enclosed basement. When going outside, avoid places that have lots of leaf debris, and in order to leave the molds outside, take shoes off before coming in the house.
