Dr Weil: 5 ways to minimize allergies
Quote:
Five Ways to Minimize Allergies
If sneezing and itchy eyes are part of your day-to-day life, you may have seasonal allergies. Try the following and see if any have beneficial effects on your allergy symptoms:
Try freeze-dried stinging nettles and butterbur. Both herbs perform as well as antihistamines, without the drowsiness.
Eliminate dairy (to avoid immune-system irritation).
Increase your intake of omega-3 fatty acids (try wild Alaskan salmon, freshly ground flaxseeds, or fish oil supplements).
Eat plenty of antioxidant-rich fruits such as berries and cherries to help modify the body's inflammatory response.
You may also want to try nasal douching with a warm saline solution, and drink plenty of water to keep nasal passages hydrated and to flush out your system.
