Natural Allies Against Seasonal Allergies: Exploring Plant-Based Supplements

Posted by Nicole on December 16

Seasonal allergies, marked by sneezing, itching, and congestion, can cast a shadow over the beauty of changing seasons. While many over-the-counter medications offer relief, seeking natural alternatives can offer more long-term benefits with fewer side effects . In this article, we'll explore the potential benefits of different natural supplements for combating seasonal allergies. 
 

 1. Quercetin: Quercetin, a flavonoid found in various fruits and vegetables, has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Studies suggest that quercetin may help stabilize mast cells, which release histamine – a key player in allergic reactions. Including quercetin-rich foods or supplements in your routine could potentially provide relief from allergy symptoms. 

 2. Stinging Nettle Fruit Extract: Stinging nettle has a long history of use in traditional medicine for treating allergies. The plant contains compounds that may inhibit the release of histamine and other inflammatory substances. Extracts derived from stinging nettle fruit have been explored for their potential to alleviate symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis. 

 3. Bromelain: Derived from pineapples, bromelain is an enzyme known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Some studies suggest that bromelain may help reduce nasal swelling and improve breathing, making it a potential ally against allergic reactions. Including bromelain in your supplement regimen may contribute to managing allergy symptoms. 

 4. Butterbur: Butterbur, a perennial shrub native to Europe and Asia, has gained attention for its potential anti-allergic properties. Petasins, active compounds in butterbur, may help reduce inflammation and inhibit histamine release. 

 5. Black Pepper Fruit Extract: Black pepper contains piperine, a compound that may enhance the absorption of other nutrients. When paired with certain supplements, like quercetin, black pepper fruit extract can potentially improve their bioavailability, allowing for better absorption and efficacy in managing allergy symptoms.
