    Hi everyone!

    I could really use some of your home remedies for seasonal allergies.  I haven’t quite found that ‘certain’  combination that helps.  I have all sorts of essential oils, but can’t seem to find that right recipe.

    I would love some of your successful remedies!

    (We live on a farm and my kids seem to get allergies pretty regularly when seasons change…mostly runny nose and sneezing.)

    Thanks

    Honestly… mostly just your basic antihistamines taken daily combined with a daily nasal spray (saline is good). Also, raw honey produced in the local area taken daily is excellent for helping with allergies. It builds up immunity to allergens.

    I just read the other day about oil of oregano helping with allergies as my son has year round and seasonal allergies.  Here was the article:

    I want to add that I am leery of giving EO internally but it is each persons own choice.

    We have this blend from Plant Therapy, and it’s been working VERY well on all of us. We also take Sabadil (by Boron) when symptoms are tough.

    We use oils, and we also use alfalfa tablets (many several times per day). Some of us drink tea too, either alfalfa or nettle tea.

     

    I  hope you find relief soon.

    I’ve found that taking 5000 mcg/day of sublingual vitamin b12 helps quite a bit. I have heard that freeze dried nettle capsules or fresh nettle tincture are very effective, but haven’t tried either. Vitamin c and quercetin are some other natural antihistamines.

    Please be very cautious about relying on articles like that which recommend internal use of essential oils (or recommendations from anyone who doesn’t have significant training in using essential oils from a non-MLM source). The study they appear to be referencing found that the effective dose of rosmarinic acid (which is what they’re saying is responsible for the antihistamine effects of oregano oil) was 200 mg/kg. To put that in perspective, if an essential oil contained 100% rosmarinic acid, a 150 lb adult would need to take approx. a half ounce bottle to match that. They tested lower doses, but that was the dose found effective. Also, looking at a list of chemical constituents in oregano essential oil, I don’t even see rosmarinic acid listed. Unless I am totally missing it or it has another name, it doesn’t appear that oregano essential oil contains any rosmarinic acid.

    Thank you to everyone who responded!  I ended up trying local honey from our area.  I hadn’t heard this before and I seemed to have tried everything, so I gave it a shot.

    I am happy to report it worked almost instantly! I was shocked.  He had been having runny nose and sneezing all day.  He also had red eyes.  Within 15 minutes the symptoms stopped!

    I gave to him this morning too and he was much much better.

    So, if you haven’t tried honey.  I would highly recommend!

    Thanks again!
