Spring has arrived, and with it comes allergy season. If you struggle with seasonal allergies, your Naturopathic Doctor has many tools to help support your health during this time!

Here’s a few tips to help you get started:

  • Neti Pots are a useful tool during allergy season to help rinse the sinuses.

  • A HEPA filter in your home, bedroom and/or office can help reduce pollen exposure in the air during peak times.

  • Probiotics of certain strains have been well-researched to help shift the immune response away from a state (called Th2) that is responsible for mounting allergies.

  • Vitamin C can help stabilize mast cells, which are responsible for releasing histamine into blood circulation, leading to symptoms of allergies. Some vitamin C formulas contain bioflavonoids (for example, quercetin) which can help to support the anti-histamine response.

  • Reducing stress and getting good quality sleep will help to reduce inflammation in allergy season.

As always, discuss whether supplements are right for you with your Naturopathic Doctor!
