Love the arrival of Spring but tired of the sneezy, eye-watering, nose-itching conditions that inevitably arrive too?<\/p>\n

We feel your pain. And we also know that taking meds constantly isn’t much fun either. But that pollen – and the constant headache – has got to go.<\/p>\n

So we’ve got 5 natural remedies that will give you some relief until those flowers finish blooming and summer is here! WooHoo!<\/p>\n

1. Saline rinse.\u00a0<\/h3>\n
\n\"Screen<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

Hands down this is the best thing to do to clear out the pollen and drainage that is keeping you clogged up!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Mandarin oranges.<\/h3>\n
\n\"Screen<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

Who knew? But it’s true, and it’s lovely! Not just for the Vitamin C, which you might assume, but for the\u00a0synephrine<\/a>\u00a0that the U.S. Department of Agriculture reports is a natural decongestant.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Herbs and Probiotics<\/h3>\n
\n\"Screen<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

There’s a lot research<\/a> about the benefits of stinging nettle – which has the natural anti-inflammatory quercetin to combat the effects of allergies. And there is also evidence that probiotics can change the way the immune system responds to irritants, thereby providing some allergy relief.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Hypoallergenic soaps, shampoos, etc.<\/h3>\n
\n\"Screen<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

It’s never a bad idea to reduce exposure to allergens, and hypoallergenic soaps is a good start!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Reduce Stress<\/h3>\n
\n\"78631556\"<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

You know the punchline, don’t you? With massage!<\/p>\n

Yes…but it’s not just a clever answer, it’s a great solution! Massage<\/a> can reduce stress, improve circulation and generally help the body relieve tension that exacerbates allergic symptoms. Not that you needed another reason to get a massage, but we<\/a> believe you can never have too many!<\/p>\n

And although it is a myth<\/a> that honey will reduce your allergy symptoms, honey is awesome and we still recommend it for spring!<\/p>\n

Here’s to a sneeze-free April! (or May?)<\/p>\n
