Allergies can create some pretty uncomfortable symptoms for many people in September and October. We are reminded of this once again as we have already begun to see the runny nose, scratchy throats and bronchial inflammation  in those close to us.

The power of integrative and natural medicine techniques is often realized in the use of several well placed modalities at one time and seasonal allergies is one of those situations.

Seasonal allergy symptoms can be successfully remedied through the power of contemporary homeopathy and highly effective nutritional combinations.

Our favorites in the homeopathy arena are the Allergy Regional Formulas by SafeCareRx and Allergiplex by UNDA. The Allergy Regional Southern Formula by SafeCare Rx is the most indicated here in the Southeast offers attenuations of specific plant antigens as well as symptom relief through classical homeopathic remedies. For other parts of the US please see our region specific formulas.

These formulas can excel in helping you to manage their symptoms without the side effects of medications.

By adding well designed and effective nutritional and herbal support such as Innate Response’s Allergy Response or DaVinci Labs Aller DMG you can add another dimension of support. DMG adds broad precursor based methylation support for immune modulation that supports MTHF, SAMe, Glutathione and more. DMG helps to modulate the immune system as well as having nervous and cardiovascular system effects.

Systemic Proteolytic Enzyme support can also be added to help degrade circulating immune complexes especially in the lungs with Anova Health’s Serrapeptase Complete which incorporates a preferred time release delivery system.

Serrapeptase is indicated whenever there is a build up of mucous in the lungs. If you tend to produce mucous in general,remember that grain and dairy products can create mucous in many individuals. By eliminating dairy and grains for a few days and then re-introducing them into your diet again you can determine whether you may want to dramatically reduce or eliminate these foods.

With the onset of spring each year comes sunny skies, beautiful flowers and trees, and warm weather. Unfortunately, spring also brings sneezing, itchy, watery eyes, and runny noses. Despite the harsh winter, this year is no different, and the onslaught of symptoms brought on by pollen, mold and fungus spores, and even pet dander is enough to make anyone want to stay inside until Labor Day.

Unfortunately, over-the-counter allergy medicines can bring on side effects that are almost worse than the allergies themselves, including drowsiness, upset stomach, and dry mouth, nose and throat. Luckily, there are many natural remedies that can bring relief with few, if any, side effects. Here’s a roundup of our favorite products for combating seasonal allergies without all of the nasty side effects:

  • Sovereign Silver: This high-grade silver hydrosol not only helps boost your immune system so that it doesn’t react to allergens in the first place, it can also kill the bacteria swimming around in your head, and help reduce the inflammation of nasal passageways that leads to headaches and that stuffy feeling. Our Sovereign Silver 2 oz. vertical spray is especially great for helping clear stuffy nasal passages.
  • Allergy Response by Innate Response: Allergies occur when our body reacts to a foreign pathogen (pollen, dander, etc.) by producing histamine, which is what causes sneezing, runny nose and watery eyes. Innate Response’s Allergy Response contains Quercetin, a compound that supports your body’s ability to stabilize histamine production and keep it from reacting to allergens so wildly. Allergy Response also contains herbs and a high dose of Vitamin C to further boost your immune system and keep allergic reactions from happening in the first place.
  • Amrita Aromatherapy Allergy Easer Roll-On: Allergy Easer is a synergistic blend of essential oils that helps control hay fever and other allergic reactions, including skin irritations. It may also relieve over-sensitivity of the nervous system.
  • UNDA Allergiplex: Allergiplex contains a specific combination of homeopathic remedies known for their exceptional efficacy in resolving allergy-type symptoms. These easy-to-take tablets work at the onset of these symptoms, as well as preventatively when taken prior to the allergy season.
