My immediate brother and I have literally suffered from seasonal allergies since toddler stage. The climate in which we lived at in NE Ohio was terrible in the summer, the hot and muggy air swarmed from dusk until dawn all summer long. While taking photographs as children, our eyes were practically swollen closed in every picture.  Recently, I glanced at one of my baby pics with the pudgy stomach sticking out with tears in my eyes and had asked mom why was I crying in that picture. I laughed with her reply “girl, yawls allergies was just too much as kids”.  The docs informed us that our hay-fever symptoms would decrease as we got older, and he was about 25% correct in his assessment.

Today as an adult, my hay-fever issues have transformed to unusual sinus flare-ups, and it’s probably because I currently live NW on the state’s map.  It is no better living here either with hay-fever/allergies symptoms due to all of the beautiful alders and cottonwood trees.

Over the years studying myself and holistic health modalities, I’ve found 6 Natural & Holistic Remedies that have been immensely effective to bring balance to my body and withstand Seasonal Allergies.

1. Honey- Consuming a small amount of honey each day can tame hay-fever symptoms.  It has been reported not only to clear the sinuses but also to help to resist the puffy, red, itchy eyes which are seasonal allergies hallmark symptoms.  So, each time honey is consumed, it has the effects of a small 

          immunization. Try it 3 times a day in tea or cereal.​

​

2. Deep-Steam Sinus Relief- When experiencing stuffy nose resulting from seasonal allergies, inhaling    steam helps to clear and soothe swollen sinus passages.  Place your face 10 to 12 inches away from a bowl of steamy, not boiling water.  Add a few drops of Eucalyptus or Rosemary essential oil to the steamed water for added healing.

 3.  Simple Acupressure Antihistamine- Find relief with the touch of a finger.  Acupressure stimulates Qi (the body’s healing energy), to resist inching, sneezing, and other hay-fever symptoms.  With the thumb and forefinger of your right hand, grab the meaty part of your left hand between thumb and forefinger.  Apply firm pressure for one minute, pressing toward the bones (don’t break your hand now) of the hand.  Replicate same method, switching hand.
​

​ 4.  Massage Your Face- Massage Therapist suggests to relieve congestion caused by seasonal allergies; Draw your fingers in long strokes from your temporal mandibular joint (located just in front of your ear) on down your neck.  To help clear congested sinus, massage your face by drawing your fingers along the top of your cheekbones.

​  5.   Vitamin C Surge- When allergies work you over, strike back with a super surge of Vitamin C! Vitamin C has an antihistamine effect, calming irritated sinuses and eyes. I suggest foods that are high in Vitamin C such as, Guavas, Kiwis, Strawberries, and/or the super food Moringa which has 7 times more Vitamin C than oranges.

6. Jump for Relief-  Movement of the lymph fluid throughout the body is dependent upon healthy blood flow, breathing, and muscle contraction.  It’s a fun, simple, and children friendly way to boost your lymph system.  So, consider scoping out a neighbor’s trampoline if you don’t have one for a few minutes each day, or break out the old jump rope just as I did.
