Along with single remedies, it is important to identify and avoid the allergens that cause allergies. Wearing a mask when there is dust and drinking plenty of water will help flush out toxins from the body. Eating fruits rich in vitamin C will boost immunity. However, if you experience shortness of breath or other severe discomfort, you should not self-medicate and seek professional medical help.
Allergy is an overreaction of the body’s immune system to certain factors. Home remedies that can help in this are as follows:
Turmeric and honey: The ‘curcumin’ in turmeric is a natural anti-allergic ingredient. Drinking a teaspoon of turmeric powder mixed with a little honey or a glass of milk daily can help reduce allergies.
Ginger tea: The anti-inflammatory components present in ginger reduce inflammation in the airways. Drinking crushed ginger and adding a little honey to boiled water will provide relief from sneezing and throat discomfort.
Tulsi leaf juice: Drinking the juice of five or six Tulsi leaves mixed with a spoon of honey is good for getting rid of colds caused by allergies.
Neem leaf water: Bathing in boiled water with neem leaves is very effective for skin allergies. The antiseptic properties of neem can reduce skin itching.
Aloe vera gel: Applying fresh aloe vera gel to red spots and itchy skin can help cool and soothe allergies.
