Natural Ways to Manage Allergies

4/19/2025

Updated 4/19/2025

With spring comes the blooming of beautiful flowers but also sneezing, congestion and puffy eyes for those who suffer from seasonal allergies. Many over the counter medications cause drowsiness and other unwanted side effects. To help support your body we've created a list of natural ways to manage many allergy symptoms. 
​
Experience the Benefits of Acupuncture
Acupuncture, a practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine, involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on your body. This technique has been shown to reduce inflammation and regulate the immune system, naturally helping you fend off allergy symptoms.

Harness the Power of Nutritional Supplements
Certain nutritional supplements, such as vitamin C, quercetin, and omega-3 fatty acids, have been known to alleviate mild allergy symptoms.
  • Vitamin C: Acts as a natural antihistamine, reducing the production of histamine in response to allergens.
  • Quercetin: Another effective antihistamine that can reduce symptoms like runny nose and watery eyes.
  • Omega-3 fatty acids: Found in supplements or foods like salmon and flaxseed, these healthy fats have anti-inflammatory properties.
Optimize Your Diet for Allergy Relief
Incorporating anti-inflammatory foods into your diet, such as fruits, green leafy vegetables, and seafood, can help manage mild symptoms like puffy eyes. On the other hand, avoiding inflammatory foods like processed and fried foods, soda, and others can minimize irritation during allergy season.

Explore the Benefits of Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese Herbal Medicine focuses on reducing inflammation, regulating the immune system, and addressing underlying imbalances that contribute to allergy symptoms. Common herbs used for allergies include:
  • Astragalus root: Known for its immune-boosting properties and ability to reduce inflammation and improve respiratory function.
  • Peppermint: With natural antihistamine and anti-inflammatory properties, it may reduce symptoms like sneezing, itching, and nasal congestion.
  • Licorice root: Recognized for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, it may help alleviate allergy symptoms.
  • Nettle leaf: A natural antihistamine that can reduce sneezing and itching.
  • Turmeric: This spice has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation in the body.

A Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner can recommend a personalized herbal formula tailored to your specific symptoms and imbalances. These formulas can be taken in the form of teas, capsules, or powders.

​Remember to consult with your healthcare practitioner to determine the best approach for your individual needs and lifestyle. Speak with a registered health professional to create a personalized plan for minimizing your allergy symptoms. Click on the images below to get started.

A Note About yoga Mamas' Cancellation Policies

Please note that we do not offer refunds. Each event/course/training/wellness appt has it's own specific cancellation policy which is listed on each registration page. Please take the time to read these in full prior to registering.  Each event/appointment that we run is in partnership with a practitioner who is focusing their independent career in prenatal and postpartum health. This is their beautiful livelihood. This is why we have these policies in place. Thank you very much for your understanding. Jamie Kalynuik, Founder of Yoga Mamas
