With spring well on its way we wanted to write up a list of the four best herbs for allergy relief in hopes we can help you prepare for this years spring season so you can spend more time enjoying the nice weather with your family and less time being frustrated by symptoms like sneezing, congestion, headache, post-nasal drip, itchy throat and irritated eyes.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention allergies can not be prevented however allergic reactions can. So below we will list some natural options to deal with spring allergies and all of their annoying symptoms with the side effects.
Yerba Sata
Yerba Santa is an ancient treatment for the respiratory system and is known as nature's best decongestant. It will help to warm and stimulate the respiratory system; reducing inflammation in the sinuses, throat, and lungs and drying the “moist” or “juicy” areas in the lungs. Try it in a tea or prepare an herbal extract. For more information regarding Yerba Santa please read our article “Yerba Santa - The Sacred Healing Herb” or if you’re looking for a pre-made extract you can find one here.
Stinging Nettle Leaf
Stinging Nettle has been used medicinally for centuries. As far as allergies go stinging nettle has powerful anti-inflammatory abilities which can prevent allergic symptoms from hitting the body.
Rosemary
We love rosemary for so many reasons but research in recent years just goes to show how it can help to tackle those allergy symptoms. Rosemary contains what is known as rosmarinic acid which can suppress the inflammatory response while doubling as both an anti-inflammatory and an anti-oxidant.
Garlic
Garlic doesn’t just taste great in your pasta sauce, it is an important part of the wellness regimen. Have you ever heard your grandma tell you to put a clove of garlic in your socks when you sleep? Well this is because it does wonders for the immune system while acting as a natural antihistamine.
