Seasonal Allergies

What Are Seasonal Allergies?

Seasonal allergies, also known as hay fever or allergic rhinitis, occur when the immune system overreacts to environmental allergens such as pollen, mold, or grass. These allergies typically occur during certain times of the year, particularly in spring, summer, or fall, depending on the specific allergens. Common symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and congestion. Seasonal allergies can affect your quality of life, making it difficult to enjoy outdoor activities and disrupting sleep. While there’s no cure for seasonal allergies, proper management and treatment can help alleviate symptoms.

What Are the Causes of Seasonal Allergies?

Pollen: Trees, grass, and weeds release pollen into the air, triggering allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Mold: Mold spores can increase in damp or humid conditions, leading to seasonal allergy symptoms.
Dust Mites: Dust mites are common indoor allergens that can worsen during certain seasons due to changes in humidity.
Animal Dander: Pets shed dander, which can contribute to allergy symptoms, especially when spending more time indoors during colder months.
Environmental Changes: Shifts in temperature, humidity, and pollution levels can exacerbate allergy symptoms during specific seasons.

Treatments & Recommendations

Gut Health Support: Improving gut health can help regulate the immune response and reduce the severity of seasonal allergy symptoms. Probiotics, prebiotics and a balanced diet play a crucial role.
Testing: Allergy testing helps identify specific allergens so that treatment can be tailored to your unique triggers.
Supplements: Supplements like quercetin, vitamin C, vitamin D and antihistamines can help reduce inflammation and manage allergy symptoms naturally.
