Allergies are on the rise once again. Quoting the Allergy and Asthma Network, "Seasonal allergies are a significant public health issue in the United States, affecting over 80 million people annually. It is estimated that roughly 1 in 4 adults (approximately 25-26%) and nearly 1 in 5 children (approximately 19-20%) suffer from seasonal allergies. The burden of these allergies is increasing, driven by longer growing seasons and higher pollen counts."
So yes, seasonal allergies are getting worse, more people are discovering that they have allergic reactions throughout the year, and those who have already struggled with allergies are experiencing greater allergic episodes.
Thankfully, one does not need to dose up on side-effect-inducing allergy medications if they would rather avoid those drugs altogether. There are many holistic options for allergy relief, four of which are briefly touched on below.
Can Turmeric Help With Allergies?
Turmeric is beneficial for managing allergy symptoms because it is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. The anti-inflammatory nature of Turmeric is such that it is rich in curcumin, the supplement's active compound.
According to allergy experts, curcumin can reduce symptoms of allergic rhinitis, such as nasal congestion, sneezing, and a runny nose, by inhibiting histamine release from mast cells (immune system cells).
Can Shilajit Help with Allergies?
According to several health sources, Shilajit can help with allergies in a similar way to Turmeric. It is an anti-inflammatory, therefore it helps prevent histamine responses that can sometimes result from inflammation. Quoting Jackie Page again:
-
"Shilajit is one of the world's most nutrient-dense herbo-mineral supplements with the ability to maintain the dynamic equilibrium of energy metabolism in your body! It contains 85 types of minerals in their natural ionic form. The minerals in Shilajit are not similar to most market-available mineral supplements. The ionic form minerals in Shilajit have previously been absorbed by rich plant life and returned to earth. As such, they can readily bond with water to be more easily distributed throughout the body and absorbed by the body's cells."
Can Quercetin Help with Allergies?
With over half a century in the health space, Jackie Page has identified Quercetin as one of the best, if not the best, natural allergy remedies. Quoting Jackie, "Quercetin is the health boost your body needs to stay healthy, ward off illness, and navigate allergy season with maximum comfort. Quercetin is nature's medicine for your heart, lungs, immune system, and histamine response, among other things." Jackie went on to mention that several specialists have theorized that Quercetin acts as a natural histamine regulator, helping the body control and reduce allergic reactions.
Overall, Quercetin offers a range of potential benefits beyond allergy symptom control. Quoting dietician & nutritionist Amy Shapiro, "It is anti-inflammatory, rich in antioxidants (and therefore fights disease and signs of aging), decreases risk of cancer, decreases risk of infection including respiratory, skin and GI infections, and may decrease risk for heart disease and high blood pressure."
Can Bromelain Help with Allergies?
Bromelain, derived from pineapples, can also help reduce allergic reactions by reducing sinus swelling and thinning mucus. The supplement can reduce congestion, soften eye irritation, ease breathing, modulate the immune response, and reduce nasal and sinus inflammation, just to name a few.
Customers Benefit from Immune Solution Products
Immune Solution has many customers who take multiple products to address various areas of their health. Many have left rave reviews about the products mentioned in this article:
- "I'm a customer of Immune Solution. I use the wheat grass daily and I love it. One day I contacted the company for an unrelated question and I ended up having a free health consultation with Jackie, the owner of immune solution. She recommended I take Shilajit and Bromelain. From the first day of taking the Shilajit I felt a difference in my energy, My overall health, And most importantly, my cravings." -Caroline Mason

Take Control of Allergy Season by Addressing The Root Cause of Allergic Reactions
Allergy medications mask the symptoms of allergic reactions without addressing the root causes. Humans are not naturally prone to allergic reactions, so for such reactions to occur, there must be something wrong with the individual's immune system. All-natural supplements like Turmeric, Bromelain, Quercetin, and Shilajit can help address the root causes and provide relief.
