There are some supplements that may help improve allergy symptoms, although their effectiveness can vary from person to person. Here are some options that have shown potential in alleviating allergy symptoms:
-
Butterbur: Extracts from the butterbur shrub may help prevent seasonal allergy symptoms. It's important to use a product labeled PA-free, ensuring that any potentially toxic substances have been removed1.
-
Spirulina and Tinospora cordifolia: There is some limited evidence suggesting that these may be effective in reducing allergy symptoms1.
-
Vitamin C: Known for its immune-boosting properties, Vitamin C can act as a natural antihistamine1.
-
Fish Oil: Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil might contribute to reducing inflammation and, consequently, allergy symptoms1.
-
Capsicum and Honey: These are often used in folk medicine, although their effectiveness is not well-documented1.
It's important to discuss these supplements with your healthcare provider before trying them, especially if you are considering alternatives to traditional treatments like antihistamines or before starting immunotherapy.
If your symptoms are severe and not well-managed by these means, allergy immunotherapy might be worth considering. However, it comes with its own set of potential side effects, which you should thoroughly discuss with a healthcare professional before deciding.
