Natural Remedies for Springtime Allergies

Spring is in the air, the birds are chirping and the winds of March blowing, which means the flowers are starting to bloom, the trees are budding and your allergies are playing havoc with your life. You want to be able to go work in your garden or even just sit on your deck and enjoy the day, but how can you do this with your allergies bothering you?

You can wear a mask when you go outside, but then how will you enjoy the smell that means it is spring. This method does work if you want to be outside and enjoy the warm breeze and watch the birds flying around and building their nests. Unfortunately, this takes away from the smell of fresh cut grass, the heady smell of roses blooming and the clean smell that arrives with spring.

Another thing you can do is stay inside during the worst of it and go outside for limited periods of time. This will help you to cut down on the symptoms you are having but you won’t be able to enjoy spring to its fullest.

One of the best remedies I have found for allergies that are caused by pollen in the air is to find a beekeeper in your area and buy some of the honey that is made from local bees. If you eat the honey that is produced in your local area, your body will develop a natural immunity to the pollens and irritants that cause your allergies. The first year you start eating the honey your allergies will lessen but not completely disappear, but the following years, as long as you continue to eat the honey, will almost completely be eliminated. This is because your body will develop a natural immunity which will help you to enjoy your nice spring day without sneezing.

Spring is a time of renewal and it is one of the most important seasons for people. It helps them to be revitalized, get the creative juices flowing and feel reborn. There is something about smelling the air on a warm spring morning that will wake you up faster than any caffeinated drink ever could. Enjoy spring, it only comes once a year and there is nothing like sitting on your deck while the birds are flying and chirping overhead and the wildflowers are gently swaying in the breeze.
