Natural Ways to Combat Allergy Season

Fall is the time when allergies start to pick up, though for many people they might be 
worse in the winter. However, if you are one of those people that experiences bad 
allergy symptoms when the weather goes from hot to cold around September or 
October, you might be looking for ways to alleviate them without harsh medications. The 
following remedies are all natural and can be effective at helping with your seasonal 
allergies.

Change Your Diet

Believe it or not, your diet can make a big impact on your allergies, preventing allergy 
attacks and helping to relieve or reduce your symptoms. There are some foods you 
should avoid that tend to increase allergy symptoms, including excessive amounts of 
sugar, caffeine, alcohol, dairy, and processed foods. Try to stay away from anything 
artificial. Then there are things you can consume that will help with your allergies, 
including bone broth, apple cider vinegar, raw honey, organic fruits and veggies, and 
foods with a good amount of probiotics.

Try Apple Cider Vinegar

One of the popular natural remedies available for allergies is to consume apple cider 
vinegar. This is being used for many things, from helping with hair and skin, to burning 
belly fat. It can also be great for those seasonal allergies and finding relief for your 
symptoms. You want to have about a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar a day, three times 
a day, or you can go for 1-2 tablespoons just once a day. Start with lower quantities 
mixed in with a tall glass of water until you get used to the taste. 

Use a Neti Pot

If you haven’t tried a neti pot before, now is a good time to try it out. The neti pot helps 
to cleanse your nasal cavity where a lot of allergens are going to attack. The container 
holds a saline solution to rinse out the nasal cavity and hopefully take all those allergens 
and debris along with it.

Reduce Your Allergy Triggers

This is definitely one of the better things to do when you have seasonal allergies. 
Everyone has allergies to different things, so in the fall season, you need to figure out 
what your individual problems are. IT might be dust and dander in your home, more 
dust coming from the vents because you are starting to use your home’s heating 
system, or something about the environment outdoors during this time of year. Once 
you know your triggers, you can begin avoiding them.
