Support your child’s comfort with a holistic approach that addresses lifestyle, environment, diet, and supplements
Birds chirping, trees and flowers blooming, longer days—everyone gets antsy at the splendorous signs of spring. But for the child with seasonal allergies, spring also means a runny nose, itchy eyes, and a scratchy throat, which can make it difficult to breath, concentrate, or even sleep. Even worse, over time, these symptoms may lead to chronic ear infections and asthma. And while over-the-counter antihistamines can bring some immediate symptom relief, side effects such as drowsiness may disrupt ordinary activity as much as the allergies themselves. Support your child’s comfort with a holistic approach that addresses lifestyle, environment, diet, and supplements to minimize allergen exposure, balance the body’s natural systems, and reduce symptoms.
They aren’t quick fixes, but regularly taking the following supplements may boost the immune system, minimize inflammation, and greatly reduce the agony of seasonal allergies.
