Spring is the season symbol of rebirth: Nature, with its blossoming colors and scents, calls us to abandon the sedentary lifestyle of winter and live outdoors... but it is not easy for everyone to face this change! For those who are allergic, in fact, the beautiful season can be a critical season.
Let's see, therefore, what natural remedies for spring allergies we can adopt to live this period serenely. We will discover that precious help can come from antihistamine plants, as always.
There are many herbs that can support you in combating the unwanted effects of allergies in spring.
Prepare for spring allergies with the help of Nature
With anticatarrhal, antihistamine, and anti-inflammatory properties, eyebright is very suitable for treating allergic rhinitis and decongesting the mucosa.
You can take eyebright leaves in a tea, dissolve it in water to prepare steam inhalations or soak gauze to place on the eyes as compresses.
Nettle is a very effective antihistamine and also has astringent, nutritive, and purifying properties.
It is particularly effective if used consistently before the onset of allergy season, and its contribution during the allergy manifestation is also significant.
Thanks to the formic acid in its stinging hairs, it helps stop the allergic response triggered by the body when it comes into contact with pollens and irritating elements. Drying and cooking destroy formic acid, so it is better to consume freeze-dried or juiced nettles.
Prepare an infusion with nettle leaves, add them whole to your dishes or grind them to add to your recipes, thus strengthening the body and relieving allergies.
Black currant as an antihistamine is one of the most common natural remedies for spring allergies.
Since this precious fruit also has diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and immunostimulating properties, it is recommended to introduce it regularly into your diet.
A black currant supplement in drops, in fact, can also contribute to the proper functioning of the kidneys, increasing vital energy and the reactive capacities of the body.
Helichrysum has been used since the Middle Ages for its expectorant properties, but it is also an excellent friend of the skin, as it is considered the most useful remedy for treating eczema, dermatitis, allergic and inflammatory disorders.
We recommend enjoying helichrysum flowers in a tea or preparing an oil extract to apply on irritated skin from allergies or inflammation - which could also be useful for sunburns.
Universally recognized for its calming, sedative, anti-inflammatory, and antineuralgic properties, chamomile helps the nervous system deal with allergies, relaxing smooth muscles and rebalancing the anxiety caused by asthma. Among the natural remedies for spring allergies, you can use chamomile essential oil dissolved in warm water for useful steam inhalations to clear the airways, as passed down by traditional Chinese medicine.
Refreshing, astringent, anti-inflammatory, decongestant, and soothing: rose is among the most precious natural remedies for spring allergies. Adding rose powder to herbal teas, cappuccinos, smoothies, or dishes can help cool the heat triggered in the body by allergies and reduce inflammation.
A drying herb like sage is useful for drying respiratory mucus and soothing mucous membranes, as it has astringent, anticatarrhal, carminative, and calming properties. A sage leaf tea will be ideal to soothe anxiety during an allergy attack and to relieve inflammation of an irritated throat due to allergies. Just be careful not to use it during pregnancy or in the following months, as it can affect breastfeeding.
While calming us, lemon balm also tones our heart. In the treatment of allergies, a lemon balm leaf tea will help us face nighttime sleep more serenely.
A wonderful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant is hidden behind turmeric. It has been discovered that curcumin in turmeric prevents the release of histamine from mast cells. Among the natural remedies for spring allergies, you will be helped by adding organic turmeric powder to your dishes or using organic cut turmeric tea for a great Golden Milk. Have you ever tried turmeric honey? Just mix 250 grams of honey, 1 tablespoon of turmeric, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to have a magical potion for your well-being to take every day!
A great ally even during seasonal colds, licorice, with its adaptogenic, antiviral, antihistamine, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, hepatoprotective properties, increases immune function in the body.
As we well know, before rushing to look for natural remedies for spring allergies, it would be ideal to enter spring with high immune defenses. The best way to do this is to introduce into your diet a mix of plants that keep your energy levels high.
With Immuno Vitality you have a ready-made and balanced mixture composed of acai berry powder, rose petal powder, astragalus, goji berries, lapacho, schisandra, and amla, to be conveniently added to milk, your favorite smoothie, yogurt, or porridge.

Nutrition is the main way we have to take care of ourselves, even in the treatment of allergies. Read our tips to boost your immune defenses at the table!
Eat the rainbow: increase the amount of antioxidant-rich foods in your diet - you can recognize them because they bring many colors to your plate and with them you stock up on antioxidants! They will help you reduce general systemic inflammation. Add sumac, goji berries, and acai to your shopping list.
Be kind to your liver: help it digest by stimulating it with natural and bitter flavors. Drink a glass of warm water with lemon in the morning and enjoy bitter vegetables in your salad for lunch, for example.
Relieve stress with quercetin: in addition to being an excellent aid among natural remedies for spring allergies, this plant pigment - which you can find in apples, onions, green tea, roses, nettles, grapes, tomatoes, leafy vegetables, and berries - will also help you restore calm.
Reduce systemic inflammation: take care to introduce healthy fats rich in omega-3 oils into your diet, such as those found in flax seeds, chia, and hemp.
Simplify your diet: increase the consumption of healthy organic foods prepared simply, avoid anything that has undergone transformations, and prefer natural or simply prepared organic foods.
Limit dairy products: milk-based foods tend to contribute to the formation of mucus in the body. If you can't do without them, try replacing them with probiotic-rich yogurt.
Reduce sugar: especially simple sugars depress immune function.
Select your foods: make an effort to reduce or eliminate food allergens such as gluten, dairy, eggs, corn, and soy. Even if you do not have obvious reactions to these common food allergens, if you are experiencing problems, perhaps your body is reacting by creating low-level inflammation that could worsen seasonal allergies.
