Natural allergy remedies everyone should try

The season of sneezing, coughing, and suffering from blocked noses is upon us. If your instant reaction when one of these symptoms ensues is to head to your nearest chemist, you may want to think again! Why not try one of our natural solutions.

Acupuncture

You're not alone if the mere thought of a needle send you running for the hills, let alone get prodded with lots of them. But acupuncture is not as bad as it sounds - actually it can be very relaxing. Furthermore, it has been proven to significantly reduce allergy symptoms like nasal congestion and sneezing.

Spirulina

A superfood that health nuts love, it's not hard to see why when you hear that spirulina contains lots of vitamin B12 and protein. Both of which can fight allergy symptoms. Research has found that, a spirulina supplement - when taken every day for six months - can significantly improve nasal congestion and sneezing.

Exercise

if you're not feeling 100 per cent, the last thing you want to do is get your sneakers on and get moving, however, research shows light exercise can reduce allergy symptoms. One study saw an 83 per cent decrease in nasal congestion, itching, and sneezing after moderate exercise. 

Probiotics

If you've been reading some of our health articles you will know that it's widely known that probiotics are great for promoting a healthy stomach. But you might be surprised to learn that probiotics also are great for allergies as well. Studies show that probiotics may lower nasal congestion.
