Minimising our exposure to environmental particles is key to supporting our body during the allergy season, but sometimes this is not always possible. Fortunately, we can support our body through diet, and through supplementation with herbs and nutrients. Hayfever season begins: fast and effective herbal help for all ages.

Natural support for environmental irritants

To support our body’s natural immune response, it’s important to eat a wholefood diet rich in fruit and vegetables. Some foods and herbs that may provide extra support include:

• oranges, apples, peaches, berries
• watercress, broccoli, capers, mung beans
• onions, garlic, ginger, fennel
• peppermint, chamomile, and nettle tea
• plenty of water

Some foods can heighten your body’s histamine response – you may find it helpful to limit or avoid these:

• matured cheeses
• processed meats
• fermented and pickled foods
• shellfish
• alcohol

Supplements and herbs to support seasonal sniffles

Supplementing with additional herbs and nutrients can support our body’s natural response to environmental pollen, dust, and pet fur.

• Quercetin, Bromelain and Vitamin C are favourites for supporting healthy histamine levels. The synergy between each of these ingredients is fantastic for a healthy immune response.
• Herbs such as Baical Skullcap, Golden Seal, Albizia and Eyebright are also well known to support seasonal and environmental sniffles.
