Seasonal Allergy Remedies

Happy Spring! We love this time of year as everything is coming into bloom 🌷🌷🌷.

It also means extra pollen in the air, and you and your kids may be experiencing seasonal allergies.

Here are my top tips and tricks to alleviate symptoms. Always check with your/your child’s doctor about supplement recommendations. 

1. Eating foods high in qeurcetin such as apples, red onion, asparagus, pistachios and almonds, and citrus fruits 

2. Taking quercetin and stinging nettle leaf supplements from Mary Ruth Organics (discount code DRORGANICMOMMY)

3. Taking Tasha Rose Remedies Victory Elixir (discount code DRORGANICMOMMY)

4. @organic_olivia Spring Defense Tonic is an herbal tincture that I give once a day. 

5. D-Hist Jr. Tablets  (this product has a Prop 65 warning; personally, I am not concerned about it given the infrequent usage and amount my kids take).

6. Rinsing with a neti pot can help clear sinuses from pollen etc. or using NeilMed Sinus Rinse can often be easier, especially for kids (it is a plastic bottle but used so infrequently, I am okay with it)

7. Wet and washing hair each night to get pollen out (Under Luna Clear Shampoo is great)

8. Not wearing shoes 👞 inside the home

9. Vacuuming, mopping, and wet dusting often

10. Investing in a high quality air purifier, like @iqair 

11. If possible, investing in an organic mattress, topper, and/or pillow(s)
