Seasonal allergies can leave you feeling sick and tired for months at a time. But what to do?
Here are some at-home remedies that might relieve your symptoms:
- Eat more turmeric: Try consuming more turmeric, a plant that is used as a main spice in curry and can also be bought in pill form. Turmeric contains curcumin, which is believed to be an antioxidant as well as anti-inflammatory and antibacterial.
- Juice an onion: Try cutting up an onion and seeing if that helps to clear your congested sinuses and reduce inflammation. Onions contain quercetin, which is a chemical compound that boasts natural antihistamine properties.
- Soak up essential oils: Some people find that essential oils help them de-congest. Try filling a bowl with hot water and adding a drop of lavender, spearmint, lemon or eucalyptus oil. Put your head over the bowl and inhale the steam.
- Take a shower: A hot shower creates steam that will help loosen your airways, and a cleansing shower after you've been outside or before you go to bed can help to remove pollen that may be clinging to you.
- Try a Neti pot: Cleanse your sinuses the natural way by using a Neti pot, which yoga practitioners in India have been using for thousands of years. Neti involves washing out your sinuses through your nose with warm, distilled or boiled salt water.
