Remedy: Reishi mushrooms
Why it works:
Reishi is a medicinal mushroom that has been cultivated for thousands of years in China for its myriad purported health benefits.
The mushroom contains lanostan, a substance that can help regulate the level of allergen (what your body produces in response to the presence of pollen and other common irritants) in the body. The mushroom is also believed to generally tone the immune system. Since hay-fever is the result of your immune system overreacting to otherwise benign substances, the mushroom works on many levels to help keep your allergies in check.
How to use it:
Reishi can be found in a variety of forms at your local health food store. Talk to a knowledgeable herbalist or holistic health care practitioner to find the right form and dosage for your particular situation.
Hay-Fever Remedy: Quercetin
Why it works:
This flavonoid occurs naturally in many foods. It's often recommended for allergy sufferers, as it is believed to act as an antihistamine.
How to use it:
You can buy it in supplement form, or boost your intake by upping your consumption of black tea, green tea, apples, onions, raspberries, red grapes and broccoli, which are all good natural sources.
Hay-Fever Remedy: Vitamin-C
Why it works:
Vitamin-C has natural antihistamine properties, which can prevent inflammation of the airways. It also helps the immune system function more effectively.
How to use it:
Good food sources of vitamin-C are guava, bell peppers, strawberries, kiwi, kale, cabbage and oranges.
Since the body simply sheds whatever vitamin-C it doesn't need, it's difficult to get too much.
What to watch out for:
High doses of vitamin-C may affect your stool.
If your bowel movements become loose or watery, back off your dosage.
