Natural Allergy Adversaries Looking for natural ways to fend off seasonal allergy symptoms? Sometimes the solutions are simple! - Keep allergens out! Keep windows closed or certain rooms pet-free to
limit your exposure.
- Cold compresses for puffy eyes. Cold compresses can be especially soothing for irritated eyes.
- Get buzzy! Some studies show pure, raw, local honey may help build natural antibodies to pollen.
- Try a neti pot. This ancient Indian tradition provides a natural method of nasal cleansing.
- Track pollen counts. Watch the news, listen to the radio or visit local weather websites to check pollen levels before you head out.
