11 All-Natural Fall Allergy Remedies

Spring isn't the only season that can bring dreaded colds and sinus problems. For many people, fall allergies can be just as much of a concern.

Spring isn’t the only season that can bring dreaded allergies. For many people, fall, with its ragweed pollen and mold spores, accompanies fits of sneezing, coughing, runny noses, and watery eyes.

To combat fall allergies, you can try herbal remedies. In particular, here are 11 excellent sources of natural relief:

1. Elderberry

Elderberry tones the respiratory tract and keeps the airways clear from phlegm. Moreover, research confirms that elderberries contain compounds which strengthen the immune system and help ward off infections.

2. Sarsaparilla

Sarsaparilla is a rich source of flavonoids. Flavonoids in sarsaparilla have proven to be effective in reducing inflammation caused by fall allergies, asthma, and bronchitis.

3. Horseradish Root

This root vegetable relieves coughs and bronchitis, it also soothes inflamed tissues. Horseradish root opens clogged sinuses and further facilitates their drainage. Our sinus cavities often have poor circulation of blood. Horseradish root improves the circulation of the whole body.  As a result, immune compounds from the blood reach the sinuses more efficiently to fight infection.

4. Echinacea

Echinacea is well-known for its tonic effect on the immune system. While some people use it as a preventative herb, I prefer to use it for acute, short-term use.

5. Spilanthes

Spilanthes possesses immune-supporting compounds which help ward off infection. Additionally, it has a tingling, numbing effect, which makes it useful for relieving the discomfort of a sore throat.

6. Garlic

Garlic lessens the symptoms of fall allergies. Symptoms including, runny noses, fevers, coughing, sinus congestion, bronchitis, and shortness of breath. Furthermore, its immune and circulatory-enhancing effects aid the body’s immune system and relieve infections.

7. Horehound

This plant has been used since antiquity and is a superb remedy for sore throats. Most notably, horehound enhances immune health. The herb is useful for treating upper and lower respiratory tract illnesses. Horehound possesses decongestant properties which hasten healing.

8. Licorice Root

Licorice root combines well with other herbs used to relieve respiratory problems. In fact, it strengthens the actions of other herbs. Licorice has been employed for centuries to support respiratory health. Furthermore, modern science confirms that licorice enhances immune health. Licorice works as a decongestant, clearing mucus and hastening healing. Also, its sweet flavor helps make less tasty herbs more palatable.

Goldenseal root is a perennial herb that many people use to treat minor respiratory issues.

9. Goldenseal Root

Goldenseal root is a perennial herb that many people use to treat minor respiratory issues. It is an at-risk plant, so I prefer to use goldenseal only for serious infections. Overall, the most active compound in goldenseal is called berberine. Berberine is also found in Oregon grape root and barberry root. However, for minor ills, I prefer to use these herbs as alternatives to goldenseal. If you opt to use goldenseal, purchase organically cultivated roots only.

10. Yerba Mate

This particular herb contains compounds which open up air passages. Therefore, it is useful for the treatment of allergies, asthma, and other respiratory illnesses.

11. Andrographis

Specifically, Andrographis prevents and treats the common cold, influenza, bronchitis, tonsillitis, allergies, pneumonia, and sinusitis. It is a powerful herb which has been the subject of several studies that confirm its healing benefits for the respiratory system.

Using Herbs To Relieve Fall Allergies, Colds, And Sinus Congestion

Herbs are available in many forms, including capsules, tablets, tinctures, and in bulk.

However, I usually prefer to use herb teas to relieve upper respiratory ills. The warm beverages help to unclog sinuses and soothe sore throats.

In essence, tinctures are convenient. Herbs in tincture form are readily absorbed.  However, alcohol-based tinctures often extract plant compounds that teas cannot.

Try making a gargle with herbs. Gargles are surprisingly excellent tools for preventing illness and alleviating symptoms if illness occurs. On the whole, they help to relieve sinus congestion and post-nasal drip.

Surprisingly, one of the most effective methods of herb administration is to make an herbal steam. Simply place a few spoonfuls of a bulk herb in a pot over steaming hot water.  Next, sit facing the pot with a towel draped over your head. Eucalyptus, thyme, oregano, and rosemary make good antibacterial steams.

Surprisingly, herbs are among the most effective tools available for preventing and treating fall allergies. Unlike pharmaceuticals, most herbs are well-tolerated with no or few side effects. If you have a serious respiratory illness or long-standing health problems, first consult with your health care provider.
