How to Prevent Spring Allergies

Try some preventative and natural remedies to prevent spring allergies this year. Spring is often the kick off for allergy season for many people. While there are many over the counter and prescription medications to control allergy symptoms, there are many natural cures that can effectively and safely help you to avoid spring allergies.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• probiotics
• supplements
• digestive enzymes
• healthy diet

1. 
   cure spring allergies by staying home

   It’s important to check the pollen count every day so you can take preventative action. If the pollen count is high, it’s probably not the best day to do yard work. Plan your activities around the pollen count whenever possible.

2. 
   watch the clock

   Pollen counts are highest between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m., so try to remain indoors as much as possible during that time of morning.

3. Keep windows closed during spring allergy season to keep pollen from blowing into your house. Don’t hang dry your clothing outside, and change your sheets as often as possible.

4. Shower and change your clothes when you return home after being outside. Pollen can rub off your clothing and cling to furniture and carpeting, so throw your clothing into the washing machine as soon as possible.

5. Run your air conditioner and air filters to absorb the pollen from the air in your home. Don’t use window or attic fans, which can bring more pollen into the home.

6. 
   take natural supplements to cure allergies

   Take a high quality probiotic to help boost your immunity.
   Take natural supplements to strengthen your immunity. MSM has antiallergic properties which can be more effective than antihistamines. Look for natural anti-allergy supplements which are a combination of herbs, enzymes, and nutrients which are designed to fight acute allergy attacks.

7. Avoid mucus producing foods such as dairy products. Also avoid sugar, wheat and white rice.

Tips & Warnings

• Boswellia reduces inflammation and allergic responses.
• Bee pollen will strengthen the immune system. Don’t use if you’re allergic.
