Collection against allergies. Allergy herb for children

The body's reaction to exposure to foreign substances or allergens of various origins, its increased sensitivity to external or internal irritants is defined as an allergy.

Treatment of allergies with herbs is one of the alternative options for medicinal effects on the hypersensitivity of the human body.

How does an allergy manifest itself?

Exposure to allergens can cause various allergic reactions, which are characterized by the following symptomatic signs:

• itching and/or swelling of the skin;
• difficulty breathing, which can trigger an asthmatic condition;
• lowering blood pressure;
• difficulty swallowing;
• skin rash;
• allergic rhinitis.

Important! Any manifestations require urgent diagnostic and biochemical examination to identify the provoking allergen.

Based on laboratory test data, the patient is individually prescribed a treatment regimen. Complex therapy includes the use of various pharmacological combinations, as well as herbal treatment of allergies. It seems strange that phytotherapeutic drugs can take part in curing a disease, since most allergens are found in plants. However, treating allergies with herbs and decoctions that have an antiallergic effect can protect the body from hypersensitivity to allergens.

Allergy treatment: what herbs are used?

The effectiveness of treating allergies with herbs in folk medicine has been known for a long time.

Let's consider the most popular and effective folk remedies that are used in herbal medicine:

1. Yarrow, elecampane, horsetail, violet and licorice have excellent antiallergic effects. Based on these medicinal herbs, various pharmacological preparations are made: Glyciram, Gastroguttal and other pharmaceuticals.
2. When used in the treatment of allergies with the herbs Leuzea, Aralia, and Echinacea, you can correct the immune system, which will contribute to the body developing protective counteractions against allergens.
3. Burdock and Jerusalem artichoke roots, elecampane and calendula will help reduce intoxication in the body.
4. Mallow, licorice, chestnut, mantle, and sweet clover will help relieve swelling and reduce skin itching.

The purpose of any phytotherapeutic treatment against allergies:

• immunocorrection;
• activation of the liver and the entire gastrointestinal tract;
• reduction of intoxication in the body;
• improvement of general condition;
• prevention of recurrence of an allergic reaction.

As a rule, the indication for phytotherapeutic effects is a protracted reaction course of the body's reaction to allergens or a chronic condition.

Beware: ragweed

This type of perennial weed of the Asteraceae family is very common in Russia and the CIS countries. Mass germination of the plant, which reproduces only by seed, occurs at the beginning of summer, and by the middle of the summer season the peak of allergy to weeds is reached. Treatment during this period in some regions of Russia is very important and reaches 30% of all allergic conditions. The pollen of this plant poses an environmental hazard to some regions of the Russian Federation. For allergies to weeds, treatment, or rather, methods of therapeutic action, are determined based on the symptomatic signs of the disease. These include:

• redness and itching of the skin and eyes;
• tearfulness;
• sore throat with wheezing and pain;
• difficulty breathing;
• headache and decreased concentration;
• a state of depression, with complete or partial lack of appetite.

Drug therapy for the treatment of ragweed allergies involves various pharmacological groups of antihistamine, non-steroidal, hormonal and anti-inflammatory action.

Preventative tips for allergy sufferers:

• first of all, it is necessary to ensure the body’s resistance to this type of allergen by introducing a sufficient amount of fiber and vitamins into the body;
• stop using cosmetics;
• Outdoor walks should be planned for the evening or early morning, when pollen is retained by dew.

Attention! If you have an allergic reaction to ragweed, treatment with herbal infusions and/or decoctions based on medicinal echinacea is strictly not recommended.

Traditional therapeutic methods are another way to combat grass allergies. Effective treatment involves the use of many different herbal remedies, which are prepared in the form of herbal infusions and/or decoctions.

Ragweed allergy: herbal treatment

This type of treatment is more of a preventive therapy. It should be carried out 2-3 weeks before the start of flowering of this weed. Let's consider the most effective methods of preventive protection against ragweed.

Recipe No. 1. Medicinal tea made from nettle and mint leaves will help block the effects of allergens on the body. Brew 1 teaspoon of dry raw material like regular tea, and after infusing and straining, the prophylactic product is ready for use.

Recipe No. 2. Bee pollen collected in the spring will be a good preventative protection for an organism weakened after winter. By taking 1 teaspoon daily before meals, you can strengthen your immune system and reliably fight off allergens.

Recipe No. 3. Herbal mixture:

• swamp duckweed – 30 g;
• lovage root – 100 g;
• nettle leaves – 50 g;
• chopped coriander – 20 g;
• dry wormwood – 30 g.

All medicinal components of the herbal collection are mixed and brewed in a thermos with 1 liter of boiled water. During the day, it is recommended to take 50 g of herbal infusion 3-4 times before meals. Continue the course of treatment until the end of the weed flowering.

Recipe No. 4. One tablespoon of St. John's wort is poured into a glass of vodka. After infusing for 21 days and straining, the medicine is ready for use. Take 1 teaspoon daily on an empty stomach 2-3 times a day.

Recipe No. 5. Brew 2 tablespoons of pansies with a glass of boiling water and leave for at least 3 hours. Wipe inflamed areas of skin before going outside. This medicine reduces skin irritation and provides a comfortable state for allergy sufferers.

With the arrival of spring, when plants begin to actively flower, some people with weakened immune systems show signs of allergies. However, laboratory biochemical testing to identify the allergen determines that the cause of this condition is exposure to ultraviolet rays. Sunny days, which all living organisms enjoy, become a real challenge for people with photodermatosis, skin inflammation caused by high sensitivity to sunlight. After a few minutes of exposure to the sun, these people feel discomfort. The skin begins to turn red, and then swelling, inevitable itching and burning appear. Small pustules form on the affected areas of the skin, which need to be treated. The main reason for this condition is the body’s production of melatonin, which further functionally limits the functioning of the liver and urinary system.

Other cause-and-effect factors for the occurrence of photodermatosis include:

• lack of vitamin D;
• hormonal imbalance;
• a consequence of acute viral infections;
• gynecological abnormalities in women.

Attention! An important role in the formation of photodermatosis is played by various hygienic and/or cosmetic products of dubious production.

Medicines and fruits, for example, orange, lemon, tangerine, can provoke high sensitivity to ultraviolet rays. In order to avoid the negative effects of sunlight on the body, you must follow some rules:

• time spent in the sun under direct rays should be limited to 15-20 minutes;
• when walking, you must wear a wide-brimmed hat or Panama hat, long sleeves and sunglasses;
• After swimming in a pond, people with allergic dependence on the sun are advised to stay in the shade.

Treatment of allergies with herbs for photodermatosis is no less effective than the methods of official medicine.

How to treat sun allergies with folk remedies?

It is unlikely that it will be possible to cope with photodermatosis only through traditional treatment. However, coupled with drug therapy, a positive result can be achieved.

Recipe No. 1. Wormwood tincture. You should prepare for aggressive sun exposure in advance. To do this, you should prepare wormwood in the spring. A liter jar is filled to the top and filled with 40% alcohol. After 3 weeks, the tincture is filtered. It is recommended to rub wormwood tincture daily before going outside.

Recipe No. 2. Taking baths with celandine every day will be an excellent preventative against photodermatosis. Just 20-30 minutes should be given to your body to protect it from the negative effects of direct sunlight.

Recipe No. 3. Homemade geranium is another healing remedy for strengthening the immune system. Finely chop the large leaves of the plant and pour boiling water in a ratio of 1:5.

Wipe the most problematic areas of the skin daily before going outside.

Recipe No. 4. Dry chamomile, which can be purchased at any pharmacy chain, will help provide the body with an anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, chamomile decoction can dull pain and reduce skin itching. This medicine can be used as lotions and/or compresses, as well as therapeutic and prophylactic baths. 1 tablespoon of dry raw materials is brewed with 200 ml of boiled water and infused for 30 minutes.

Treatment of allergies with traditional methods

Sometimes our body is too active reacts to external stimuli posing a potential or real threat to health. This - allergies (the mistake in the word allergy was made on purpose so that people could get the correct information no matter how they looked for it), the result of the body's hypersensitivity to various substances and phenomena of plant, animal or chemical origin in our environment. These substances and phenomena are called allergens.

Allergy symptoms– tears, itching and dryness in the nasopharynx, catarrh. The occurrence of allergic tendencies is often influenced by hereditary factors - research the history of family diseases - you will definitely find a relative with allergies somewhere on the family tree.

The most common allergy triggers (allergens)

Different allergens can have both direct effects and enhance the effects of other allergens.

Different activity in different people in relation to different groups of allergens is determined by the characteristics of the immune system of a particular person.

Here is a list of the most common allergens:

Dust and dust mites, the chitinous shell of which actively allerizes house dust.

Plant pollen and mold fungi are harmful to the body with hypersensitivity.

Attention should also be paid to the possibility of some foods acting as allergens and thereby causing allergies. This list includes nuts, seafood, eggs, legumes, milk, cereals, citrus fruits, sesame seeds, and honey.

Six animals and the effects of insects and arthropods– bees, wasps (poisons), cockroaches and ticks can cause a violent reaction in allergy sufferers.

Substances of non-animal origin, such as latex, nickel compounds, as well as chemicals - cleaning, washing and other similar products - are allergenic.

Some indoor plants can also cause allergic reactions. These are geranium, primrose, calendula, oleander. Here, allergies can manifest themselves in the form of a runny nose, photophobia, headaches, and skin diseases. The course of the disease can be complicated when attacks of bronchial asthma begin. You need to part with such plants.

Touching oleander sometimes causes painful irritation of the skin. Do not touch the leaves and flowers of this plant unnecessarily, and if this happens by accident, wash your hands with soap to wash off the poisonous oleander juice.

The body's correct immune response is to produce antibodies to neutralization of an allergic reaction. A hyperreaction or too active resistance of the body, as a response to a potentially dangerous external influence, is an allergy.

Allergies can occur with varying intensities, including very severe forms that lead to shock. This does not depend on the nature of the allergen - animal hair, mold or pollen can have the same effect. Important– which parts of the body suffer from allergic effects.

If the respiratory system is affected, bronchial asthma or allergic rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal mucosa) may appear.

With inflammation of the eyes initiated by an allergen, conjunctivitis, inflammation of the eyelids, abnormalities in the cornea develop, and other manifestations characteristic of eye diseases are possible.

If the skin is affected, swelling of the face, atopic dermatitis or urticaria may occur.

When several organs are involved in the inflammatory process, the disease occurs in a more severe form, the allergic reaction develops rapidly, and this can lead the patient into a state of anaphylactic shock.

The diagnosis of an allergic disease can be determined by an allergist. He also prescribes diagnostics and a course of treatment. Treatment of allergies from exposure to dust, pollen and animal dander mainly involves eliminating the allergen. If you are allergic to medications, drug treatment is contraindicated.

Instead, allergies should be treated using traditional methods. Naturally, those herbal remedies to which the patient has an allergic reaction should be excluded. Any treatment methods, including traditional ones, are carried out under medical supervision.

Herbal medicine based on the use of herbs containing azulene (primarily yarrow and wormwood) is a fairly effective method of treating allergies. Azulenes have anti-inflammatory, anti-allergenic and bacteriostatic activity, which is what their use is based on. For eczema, urticaria, and bronchial asthma, it is recommended to treat allergies using such folk methods as an infusion of ordinary chamomile (from which, by the way, azulene was first isolated in the 15th century).

If it was possible to identify the allergen using special tests, then the most effective treatment in this case is to avoid contact with this substance.

Medicines will help alleviate the symptoms of the disease. Proper nutrition of the baby is very important. In addition, many experts recommend using medicinal herbs for allergies.

Types of allergies in children

In children under 2 years of age, the most common food allergies are to cow's milk, egg whites, fish, and some vegetables and fruits.

There are frequent cases of allergies to saliva, blood serum, epithelium, and urine of animals that are carried by fur.

After eight years, pollen intolerance reactions appear.

Allergies to drugs are often caused by penicillin and its derivatives. This type of hypersensitivity to the substance is very dangerous, because the result can be anaphylactic shock.

An allergy to house dust occurs as a reaction to mite secretions, which even daily general cleaning cannot get rid of. You may also be intolerant to insect bites, especially bees or wasps.

In some cases, pseudo-allergic reactions occur, which are the result of helminthic intoxication.

Symptoms

Manifestations of allergies depend on its type. Food exposure manifests itself in the form of skin reactions; dust and pollen cause respiratory problems.

In young children, signs may be minor, so it is necessary to carefully monitor the baby, especially when introducing new foods to the diet.

The appearance of a skin rash, itching, restlessness and poor sleep of the child should alert you. Urticaria, if left untreated, can develop into allergic dermatitis or allergic eczema, and in severe cases, into angioedema. Herbs are great for treating skin problems. Many of them are very effective against allergies.

If your baby has a runny nose without signs of a cold, and it does not go away within 10 days, this is a sign of an allergic reaction. At the same time, the child’s nasopharynx swells and he often sneezes. More serious respiratory reactions are allergic asthma or bronchitis, which can become chronic.

The most dangerous manifestation of an allergy is that it develops rapidly. The child finds it difficult to breathe, his skin turns pale, and he loses consciousness. Medical assistance must be provided immediately.

Treatment

The main principle of treatment is to eliminate the source of the allergy. To do this, it is important to determine what exactly causes the intolerance reaction.

To determine a specific allergen, special tests are performed, after which the doctor prescribes the necessary medications.

It is possible to use a non-drug treatment method. To do this, small doses of the allergen are introduced into the body over several years, as a result of which the negative reaction to this product gradually decreases.

Herbal treatment

In addition to modern ones, traditional methods of treatment are also often used. Herbs for allergies for children must be used thoughtfully, after consultation with a doctor, because this method has both advantages and disadvantages.

Treatment can be general and local. Herbs for allergies are selected strictly individually. Treatment must begin with very small doses. The herb is collected in ecologically clean areas or purchased at a pharmacy.

It must be remembered that some medicinal herbs, as well as alcohol tinctures, are contraindicated for young children. In the treatment of babies under one year old, only rubdowns are used; the use of any antiallergic drugs is contraindicated.

Series

This allergy herb is used as a preventative. The series is brewed like regular tea and consumed without dosage. You need to pay attention to the color of the resulting broth - it should be golden. Turbid green water indicates that this herb cannot be used for treatment.
When using a decoction of string for baths, it is effective. It is advisable to bathe your baby before bed three times a week. The duration of the procedure is 10-15 minutes. To completely get rid of the disease you will need fifteen such baths.

When treating children, care must be taken. First, one herb for allergies should be used, not a collection. Before you start using herbs for baths, you need to moisten a cotton ball in the prepared decoction and apply it first to a healthy area of ​​the child’s skin, then to the affected one. Herbs for allergies, after using which the baby’s condition worsens or a reaction appears on a healthy area of ​​the skin, cannot be used. If there is no negative reaction, then bathing will be beneficial.

You need to bathe your baby every day for 3-5 days. If the allergy herb used does not have a positive effect, it must be replaced. Perhaps improvement will come with the use of a decoction of several herbs.

Folk remedies are no less effective than medications. But acute forms of allergies require immediate medical attention. Allergy herbs are mainly used as an auxiliary method in the complex treatment of this disease.

About 20-30% of all humanity suffers from an allergic reaction to foreign elements. The source of irritation can be anything: pollen, cosmetics, or pet hair. The use of medications in this case is not the best option; the fact is that pharmaceutical products do not cure the disease itself, they only eliminate the external manifestations of symptoms. Long-term use of medications is especially harmful, since it can lead to disruptions in the functioning of the kidneys, liver, pancreas and a general deterioration of the immune system. Therefore, medicinal herbs for allergies are very popular.

Treatment of allergies with folk remedies - are herbs effective?

• Herbal infusions should be taken warm; long-term storage is strictly prohibited.

Important! Before using herbal remedies, you should consult a doctor, since some herbs can enhance the negative effect or cause individual intolerance.

Indications for herbal allergy treatment

The main indications for the use of the preparations are long-term allergies and chronic allergic reactions. Symptoms of the disease manifest themselves in the form of itching, redness and various rashes. It is important to know that the infusions themselves do not contain components that can have a negative effect on the body.

1. Elimination of inflammatory processes.
2. Strengthening the immune system.
3. Reducing side effects from chemotherapy drugs.
4. Strengthening the effect of pharmaceutical medications.

Conclusion

Herbal medicine methods are famous for their effectiveness and safety. Herbal infusions have an antihistamine, cleansing, anti-inflammatory and restorative effect on the body. The main indications for use are prolonged allergic reaction and chronic nature of the disease.

It is recommended to buy herbal infusions only at pharmacy kiosks, be sure to check the expiration date and the availability of instructions for use. When collecting and storing plants yourself, you must strictly adhere to the necessary requirements. Before purchasing any medicinal herbs, you should consult your doctor.

Many plants are allergens and lead to severe asthma attacks, but many more have therapeutic effects and serve as medicine for allergy sufferers. Modern herbal medicine gives preference to medicinal plants with a mild effect. As for the mechanism for obtaining the therapeutic effect, the opinions of experts do not coincide.

Many attribute the effect to some individual components of plants, for example, caffeine in tea and coffee. Most herbalists believe that herbal preparations act in a complex manner and the result of treating allergies with herbs depends on the initial state of the body: the same herbal preparations can reduce or increase blood pressure, pulse rate, depth and frequency of respiration, i.e. act normalizing.

In addition to active ingredients, the natural herbal preparation contains substances that accelerate absorption and enhance the therapeutic effect of the main active ingredient on individual body systems and on the body as a whole. The therapeutic effect largely depends on the dose: by changing the dose, we can change the direction of action of the drug.

When prescribing medicinal plants it is necessary:

1. Course treatment should begin in the subacute period of the disease.
2. The composition of medicinal mixtures includes plants with general strengthening, detoxification (cleansing), antiallergic and antiasthmatic effects. If you are allergic to many plants, include no more than three ingredients in the medicinal mixture that are not allergens for a given patient; in the absence of allergies to plants - from 5 to 10 plants.
3. If well tolerated, the amount of the mixture for a single dose should be gradually increased by 3-5 times compared to the initial dose, and in case of an unfavorable reaction, the composition of the mixture should be changed.
4. To avoid addiction, the treatment mixture should be changed after 3-4 weeks.
5. Prepare the infusion daily.
6. Prepare an infusion for an adult at the rate of 1 tablespoon of the mixture per glass of boiling water. Leave in a thermos for 20 minutes. This dose is for 1 day.
7. Dosage for children has its own characteristics. Usually a 3-4% infusion solution is prescribed.

• Children under 1 year - 1/12 or 1/8 of the adult dose;
• From 1 year to 3 years - 1/8 or 1/4 adult dose;
• 4 years - ¼ adult dose;
• 4 - 7 years - 1/3 adult dose;
• 7-14 years - ½ adult dose.

Many doctors claim that allergies are a real scourge of our time.

No medicine cures allergies; drugs only eliminate unpleasant symptoms. Let's look at what medications help with allergies and what herbs help with allergies to restore your well-being.

Allergy medications

In the pharmacy you can now find a huge number of drugs that can eliminate the manifestations of allergic diseases. They differ in composition, duration, effectiveness, side effects and, of course, price.

At the moment, antihistamines (4 generations) are used. The most modern, effective and newest drugs of this type include metabolites - third-generation antihistamines. They quickly eliminate allergy symptoms and do not cause drowsiness. In addition, they are not cardiotoxic and do not adversely affect the central nervous system. Thanks to these features, these medications can be used even in childhood (from one to two years old) in the form of syrups. They are also suitable for adults whose activities require special concentration.

Third generation drugs are used for the treatment of chronic urticaria and atopic dermatitis (both in childhood and in adulthood). They are used to treat year-round allergic rhinitis, seasonal allergic conjunctivitis and allergic contact dermatitis.

Third generation allergy drugs are represented by Cetirizine, Loratadine, Activastine, Ebastine, Terfenadine, Levocabastine, Fexovenadine, Astemzole and Acelastine. The first two drugs are usually the drugs of choice. Acelastine is available in the form of eye drops and nasal spray; it has an exclusively local effect.

Cetirizine can be purchased in pharmacies under the trade names Cetrin, Zyrtec, Zodak, Letizen, Parlazin and Cetirizine. And Loratadine is sold as Loratadine itself, as well as Erius, Dezal, Lomilan, Clarisens, Lordestin, etc.

Doctors may also prescribe first-generation antihistamines to treat allergies. However, such drugs are used much less frequently than the medications already listed. After all, they are characterized by a fairly extensive list of side effects. Medicines of this type often have a pronounced sedative (hypnotic) effect, and they can also reduce muscle tone. Also, first-generation antihistamines act for no more than five hours at a time, which is a significant drawback, because third-generation drugs can remain effective for about a day or even more. In some cases, such drugs provoke the occurrence of psychomotor agitation, especially in children. They should not be used by adults who perform work that requires concentration.

Among other things, first-generation allergy medications enhance the effects of alcohol, analgesics and sleeping pills. And after some time of prolonged use, they become completely ineffective.

Such drugs are represented by Suprastin, Tavegil, Diphenhydramine, Diazolin, Peritol, Pipolfen, Fenkarol and some others. Today, doctors usually use Suprastin (from the first generation antihistamines). This medicine does not provoke strong cardiotoxic consequences, does not accumulate in the blood and is suitable for long-term use, for example, for skin allergies, atopic dermatitis, allergic conjunctivitis, as well as in cases such as urticaria and Quincke's edema.

In some cases, doctors also use hormonal drugs – corticosteroids – to treat allergies. Usually they are resorted to in extreme cases, because such drugs can cause a lot of side effects and negatively affect the functioning of organs and systems. Drugs of this type include Prednisolone, Betamethasone, Beclomethasone, Hydrocortisone, Dexamethasone, Methylprednosolone, etc. They are used in the form of eye drops, nasal sprays, creams and ointments, as well as tablets. Hormonal drugs give a quick effect, but are not suitable for long-term use.

Herbs for allergies

There are quite a few traditional medicines that can help in the treatment of allergic diseases. It would be a good idea to discuss the advisability of their use with your doctor. Thus, the use of common duckweed gives a good therapeutic effect. Collect fresh duckweed grass, wash it thoroughly and dry it. Fill ten grams of such raw material with fifty milliliters of vodka. Infuse the medicine for one week, then strain. Take fifteen drops of the prepared tincture, dissolving this amount in half a glass of water. Take it three times a day for one month.

Healers also recommend using cocklebur herb to treat allergies. Pour twenty grams of dry raw material with a glass of boiling water. After an hour, strain the finished medicine and drink it in three doses a day. Take the appointment for at least six months.

If you are concerned about allergies, try making a medicine from dandelion and burdock roots. Grind the dry raw materials and combine them together, maintaining an equal ratio. Fill fifty grams of roots with six hundred milliliters of water. Leave for ten hours, then bring to a boil and cool. Drink half a glass of the strained broth before each meal. The recommended duration of therapy is two months.

It is worth noting that herbs, like pharmaceutical drugs, can cause allergies and other side effects, and they also have contraindications for use.

The most popular herb for all types of allergies is butterbur. Studies have shown that it acts as an inhibitor of leukotriene, an inflammatory mediator responsible, among other things, for swelling of the nasal mucosa. There is scientific evidence that the effectiveness of butterbur in treating the symptoms of allergic rhinitis is comparable to the effectiveness of pharmaceutical antihistamines.

Preparing the infusion: boil a liter of water in a saucepan, add a tablespoon of St. John's wort herb, cover with a lid and turn off the heat. Leave for at least 30 minutes, after which the drug is ready to take.

Antihistamines are a class of drugs used to treat allergies. Histamine causes an inflammatory response by the immune system during an allergic reaction when potentially harmful elements: viruses, bacteria, etc., enter the body.

Allergic reactions occur when the immune system is hypersensitive, when it recognizes some harmless substances, such as pollen, dust, and some foods as harmful foreign particles, and therefore stimulates the production of histamine to destroy them.

Natural antihistamines

Antihistamines are used to control or relieve allergy symptoms such as skin rashes, hives, and difficulty breathing by counteracting the effect of histamine. Medicinal antihistamines are known for their side effects. They may cause drowsiness, dry mouth and nose, blurred vision, dizziness, headache, and stomach upset. They also provide temporary relief from allergy symptoms.

Natural antihistamine compounds found in some foods and herbs can naturally reduce histamine secretion and sensitivity to allergens, resulting in relief of allergy symptoms.

A natural antihistamine can not only relieve allergy symptoms, but also reduce the frequency of allergy symptoms in the future by strengthening the immune system.

Here are some important nutrients and herbs that can be used as a natural antihistamine for children and adults.

Vitamin C is a well-known antioxidant that fights against free radicals, strengthens the immune system and relieves allergy symptoms. This is one of the best natural antihistamines, which is found in abundance in: citrus fruits, strawberries, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, red cabbage, cauliflower, cayenne pepper, capsicum, pineapple, etc.

Another vitamin that can help control allergic reactions is vitamin A. Our bodies can extract vitamin A from plant pigments called carotenoids, which have strong antioxidant properties. Carotenoids are widely found in spinach, mango, carrots, tomatoes and green leafy vegetables.

Quercetin and pycnogenol are flavonoids that give color to certain fruits and vegetables. Quercetin can be found in citrus fruits, broccoli, bell peppers, berries, onions, garlic, tea and apples. In addition to the fact that quercetin and pycnogenol are natural antihistamines, they are also powerful antioxidants.

Along with the vitamins and nutrients listed above, an enzyme found in pineapple known as bromelain is considered an effective natural antihistamine.

Beneficial minerals that work as a natural remedy for allergies are magnesium citrate, calcium citrate and selenium.

Omega-3 fatty acids are very helpful in reducing various allergic reactions. They are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and are found in salmon, walnuts, flaxseed oil and canola oil.
