Spring is a great time of year to get back outdoors, but doing so isn't equally easy for everyone.
Allergies can be a big problem for some people in the spring.
It's especially tough when kids have allergies. While adults can control impulses that will ultimately worsen symptoms, children do not always have this ability.
Fortunately, there are some natural remedies that can reduce and in some cases eliminate the stressful symptoms of spring allergies.
Here are some ideas you can easily try:
Drink plenty of water
If your respiratory and digestive systems are dehydrated, your body will react with symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing and/or coughing. Staying constantly hydrated is one of the best ways to combat these symptoms.
Use essential oils
There are several essential oils that can help reduce inflammation and make breathing easier. Eucalyptus oil is a popular option. Peppermint, lemon, and chamomile oils are also choices that provide allergy relief.
Enjoy citrus fruits
Citrus fruits are packed with vitamin C, bioflavonoids and antioxidants, all of which help relieve allergies. They boost the immune system while also treating allergy symptoms. Eating some citrus fruits or including their juice in your diet can make a big difference and is safe for most children, too. /Telegraph/
