Allergy Relief Strategies for Allergy Sufferers
As spring approaches in many parts of the world, and autumn in others, many of us are hit by the “allergy season” as the result of blooming plants, cut grasses and leaves.
Allergies are a common ailment that can be both irritating and painful. During the spring and summer months, allergies can become even more difficult to manage due to the increased pollen count in the air. If you suffer from allergies, it is important to take steps to ensure that your symptoms are managed properly so that you can enjoy the season without feeling miserable. Here are some strategies for surviving allergy season.
Identifying Your Triggers
The first step in managing your allergies is to identify what triggers them. Common triggers include pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mold spores. Knowing what triggers your allergies can help you avoid those triggers or at least minimize your exposure to them. For instance, if you know that pollen is a trigger for you, then you can try to stay indoors during peak pollen times or keep windows closed when possible.
Staying Hydrated
Staying hydrated is also important for managing allergy symptoms. Water helps flush out allergens from your system and keeps your mucus membranes moist which helps reduce inflammation and irritation of the nasal passages caused by allergens such as pollen or dust mites. Aim for 8-10 glasses of water per day during allergy season and keep an eye on how much caffeine or alcohol you consume as these can cause dehydration.
Medication Management
Finally, make sure that you’re taking any prescribed medication as directed by your doctor. Over-the-counter medications such as antihistamines may be helpful in relieving symptoms but they should not be taken unless recommended by a doctor or pharmacist who knows your medical history and can provide guidance on appropriate dosages and frequency of use. Allergy shots may also be recommended if other treatments are not effective in reducing symptoms. Such shots require regular visits over several months before they begin to take full effect so plan ahead if allergy shots are recommended by your doctor!
Allergy season doesn’t have to ruin your summer fun! With proper management of triggers, medications, hydration levels and lifestyle habits, living with allergies doesn’t have to mean missing out on outdoor activities or letting itchy eyes get in the way of enjoying time outside with friends and family. These strategies will help ease the misery of allergy season so that all sufferers can get back out there and enjoy their summer months!

Forever Arctic Sea (#376C) provides a balanced blend of Omega 3 fatty acids from cold water fish and calamari oils – essential nutrients for cell membranes in virtually every tissue in the body. The proper balance of Omega-3 fatty acids in the diet can help to keep cell membranes fluid and also support immune function. Omega-3 fatty acids can support the tissues of the respiratory tract, eyes and skin, which can all be impacted by allergy season.
Garlic has been well established for having supportive effects on the immune system, and Forever Garlic-Thyme (#065C) provides the equivalent of 1,000mg of fresh garlic in each softgel, along with the antioxidant benefits of Thyme.
Finally, though it may seem odd to refer to the digestive system when discussing seasonal allergies, an estimated 70-80% of the immune system resides in the gastrointestinal tract. Ensuring that we have a balance of good bacteria to other bacteria in our gut can help to support immune function throughout the body. Forever Active Pro-B (#610C) provides 6 strains of good bacteria in a shelf-stable beadlet that help us to achieve the ideal ratio of 85:15 (good bacteria vs other bacteria) in our digestive tracts.
Together, a comprehensive multi-vitamin-mineral formula, along with additional vitamin C and bioflavonoids, Omega-3 fatty acids, garlic, and probiotics, can support overall immune function, help stabilize immune cell membranes, and support tissues of the skin and respiratory tract. Forever Arctic Sea, Forever Garlic-Thyme, and Forever Active Pro-B can offer powerful nutritive support and protection to carry us through allergy season.
Secrets to surviving allergy season without medicines
Allergy season can be a difficult time for public health and individuals alike. The symptoms of allergies, like sneezing and itchy eyes, can cause discomfort and impede daily activities. However, there are several methods to reduce the impact of seasonal allergies.
To start with, keep public spaces clean by wiping down surfaces often, such as door handles and public transit handrails. Allergens like pollen and dust can collect in public areas, so by keeping them clean you can help reduce contact with airborne allergens.
It is also important to identify the types of allergens that cause problems in your area. Knowing what triggers your allergies provides insight on how to best protect yourself from experiencing symptoms while out in public areas.
Unfortunately, we often aren’t eating the healthiest foods, which would provide the recommended daily levels of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants our bodies need as well as support immune function. However, relieving allergy symptoms can be as simple as supporting your health and wellness with the proper balance of nutrients.
