Breathe Easy This Spring: Natural Ways to Support Seasonal Allergies

Spring has officially sprung—bringing sunshine, budding flowers, and... seasonal allergies. If you're one of the many who find themselves sneezing, sniffling, and rubbing itchy eyes this time of year, you’re not alone. As beautiful as this season is, the surge in pollen and other airborne allergens can put your immune system on high alert.

But the good news? There are many simple and natural ways to support your body and ease allergy symptoms—starting with how you care for yourself daily.

1. Rinse and Protect: Neti Pot + Nasal Oil

One of the most effective (and often overlooked) ways to minimize allergy symptoms is by keeping your nasal passages clear. A neti pot is a gentle, natural way to rinse allergens and irritants from the sinuses. Following it up with a soothing nasal oil can help keep the nasal lining moisturized and less reactive to allergens.

You can shop neti pots, neti-rinse bottles, nasal sprays and other supportive allergy supplements through our online dispensary by clicking here.

2. Go Local with Honey

Eating small amounts of local honey may help build a tolerance to regional pollen. While the science is still catching up with tradition, many allergy sufferers swear by this natural remedy. Plus, it's a delicious way to sweeten your tea or smoothie!

Find some at our local health food stores such as the Food Freedom Store, the Health Nut, Good Health Market and Sackett's!

3. Your Gut & Allergies: The Food Connection

From a functional nutrition perspective, everything is connected—especially the gut. Your gut health directly affects your immune system, and when it’s inflamed or imbalanced, you're more likely to react to environmental triggers.

Common culprits that may worsen allergy symptoms:

• Gluten – May contribute to systemic inflammation.

• Sugar – Can suppress the immune system and promote mucus production.

• Dairy – Known to thicken mucus and aggravate sinus issues in many people.

• 
  

Choosing whole, anti-inflammatory foods and focusing on gut-loving nutrients (like probiotics, prebiotics, and omega-3s) can go a long way in supporting your body during allergy season.
