Loading player...

This final installment in a series on managing seasonal allergies naturally focuses on the gut-allergy connection and practical remedies. Learn how to choose the right probiotics, as fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut can either help or worsen symptoms depending on their histamine levels. The discussion provides a clear guide to low-histamine probiotic foods (e.g., plain yogurt with live cultures, fresh sauerkraut) and highlights high-histamine options to avoid (e.g., aged cheeses, long-fermented kombucha). Discover additional natural strategies like saline nasal irrigation, colloidal silver nasal spray, stinging nettle tea, and essential oils like eucalyptus and peppermint to relieve congestion and act as natural antihistamines.
