10 Natural Treatments For Seasonal Allergy Sufferers

Probiotics For The Win

It seems that there is little that probiotics can't fix. Recent research shows that those with healthy colonies of beneficial bacteria in the gut tend to have fewer and less severe allergy problems. So taking probiotics can be a simple way to reduce the severity of seasonal allergies. Probiotics are also found in fermented foods, like kombucha, kefir, soy milk, sauerkraut, miso, pickles, tempeh, kimchi, and some varieties of yogurt. Be careful when selecting yogurt, as some varieties are high in sugar and don't have much in terms of probiotics. Read the labels, or choose to use probiotic capsules or tablets instead.

Quercitin

This little-known bioflavonoid is in a wide variety of foods like broccoli and some citrus fruits, but it's hard to get enough of them from these sources to make a real difference in terms of treating seasonal allergies. That's why so many people are turning to taking quercetin supplements in order to prevent allergic seasonal allergies. Best taken four to six weeks before allergy season begins, quercetin can be a real game changer for allergy sufferers. However, taking quercetin is not for everyone. In fact, according to specialists, women who are breastfeeding or who are pregnant should not take quercetin.
