It’s that time of year again.  Sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, rashes and even swelling are all part of seasonal allergies.  If you fall victim to these symptoms, you may want to consider a more natural approach to relief.  There are several products that can reduce symptoms to manageable levels that don’t interfere with your outdoor activities.  Let’s look at some popular options:

Quercetin is a favorite of natural healing advocates who believe that it stabilizes the release of histamines and helps to control allergy symptoms. It’s naturally found in broccoli, cauliflower, green tea, and citrus fruits, but there are many great supplements available that make this an easy addition to your daily routine. Suzanne’s carries several brands of Quercetin so that we can find the best option for your personal symptoms.

Stinging Nettle has a long history of use for the relief of allergies.  Natural healing practitioners use it as a as a natural antihistamine to help with the treatment of allergy symptoms.  We have a variety of options available like freeze-dried herbal capsules and even teas.

Essential Oils have shown to be effective at reducing inflammation.  A 1988 study published in the National Library of Medicine showed that Peppermint oil, Eucalyptus oil and Tea Tree oil along with Frankincense oil reduced symptoms when used correctly.  Suzanne’s carries the highest quality essential oils and can help you choose the right oils for you, along with how to correctly use them.

Locally Sourced Honey is a popular choice.  According to the Mayo Clinic, honey has been anecdotally reported to lessen symptoms in people with seasonal allergies. Honey has been used as a cough suppressant and may have anti-inflammatory effects, plus it tastes amazing! Suzanne’s has a selection of honey from local sources including Neosho, MO and Sarcoxie, MO.
