Are your allergy medications not working anymore? Are you looking for new ways to treat your allergies? Or, maybe you don't like taking allergy medicines in the first place.
Whatever your reason, there are alternatives. Here are three different ways to treat allergies this fall:
1. Introduce probiotics
Remember when you were a kid and your parents or teachers would always tell you to wash your hands? Many of us have become conditioned to the notion that all bacteria is bad. However, that's not the case. Many of our bodies have actually become so clean that we struggle to fight off allergies. That's where probiotics come into play.
Probiotics are microorganisms that help boost our immune system and ward off harmful allergens. They may even be able to cure allergies by correcting the body.
2. Intake more vitamin C
Allergens cause cells to produce histamine, which is responsible for sneezing, wheezing, coughing and other allergy symptoms. Vitamin C helps to block histamine development, which reduces reactions. The vitamin's effects depend on the amount you ingest. Doctors recommend that for the best results you should intake at least 500mg per day through food or supplements.
3. Don't cry over onions
It might require you to buy a few more boxes of tissues, but stock your kitchen up with onions. They are high in quercetin, an antioxidant which can reduce the side effects of allergies and asthma. For the best results, take 2 grams of quercetin with vitamin C.
Another way to manage allergies is to avoid triggers. Visit Allergy Be Gone's store for a wide range of allergy control products.
