How to Naturally Relieve Allergy Symptoms at Our Gainesville, FL, Apartments

Millions of people worldwide deal with allergy symptoms related to the environment, food, or medication. Some of the most common symptoms an allergy sufferer will face are nasal congestion, watery eyes, sneezing, and a scratchy throat. Thankfully, there are many natural remedies to help to combat these symptoms.

Here is a list of four ways to naturally relieve allergy symptoms:

• Drink peppermint tea – Hot tea is a wonderful option that can relieve a stuffy nose, and peppermint tea is the best option of the bunch. The essential oil in peppermint tea acts as a decongestant and contains anti-inflammatory and mild antibacterial constituents.
• Take a shower – Pollen can reside on hair, clothes, and skin, so taking a hot shower can help to wash off the culprit to many allergy problems. An added bonus: The steam from the shower will also help to open up the sinuses, making breathing easier.
• Use a saline solution – These can be bought at any drugstore, and they soothe upper respiratory allergies by removing irritants that can become lodged in the nose and cause inflammation.
• Try acupuncture – Acupuncture is an alternative treatment option to relieve allergies. Acupuncture is based on the idea that stimulating points on the body’s skin can change or initiate reactions inside the body, so an acupuncture treatment may have a positive effect on the immune system, where allergic reactions begin.

Those who experience allergy symptoms should always talk to a doctor before trying any of the natural remedies listed above.
