So, Allergies Got You Bad This Season?

Updated: May 18, 2023

You shouldn't need an allergy pill to help you ward off your seasonal allergy symptoms. In fact, many OTC allergy meds just cover up the symptoms you're experiencing rather than helping your body amount a natural immunity to fight off the ICK of sniffles, sneezing & headaches. Find out what you need to boost your immune response using herbs this allergy season!


Arizona is a state known for its beautiful landscapes, sunny weather, and great outdoor adventures. However, with the arrival of spring, Arizona residents can experience a less desirable phenomenon: seasonal allergies. Pollen from trees, grass, and weeds can trigger a range of allergy symptoms, from sneezing and coughing to itchy eyes and a runny nose. While over-the-counter medications can be effective in treating these symptoms, natural herbal remedies can also be a safe and effective way to alleviate allergy symptoms.

Here are some natural herbal remedies that can help you treat seasonal allergies in Arizona:

  1. Local Honey or Pollen: Eating local honey produced by bees in your area can help build up your immunity to local pollen, which can reduce allergy symptoms over time. The honey contains small amounts of pollen, which can help desensitize your body to the allergens.

  2. Astragalus: Immune system boosting herb that helps fight off diseases and prevent illness. Astragalus is a powerhouse adaptogen that restores wellness to a person’s overall body, especially in the cases of fighting off adrenal fatigue and allergy reactions (source).

  3. Mullein Leaf: This herb has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that assists with the body’s immune system and stress responses. The respiratory health benefits of mullein leaf are outstanding! This herb has demulcent, expectorant and astringent properties to assist with soothing irritated or congested lungs (source).

  4. Eyebright: This herb helps our bodies fight against allergies, colds, sinusitis, and respiratory discomfort. Eyebright naturally creates astringent tannins that help prevent us from producing mucus by tightening the mucus membranes and relieving our chronic stuffy noses during the peak of allergy season (source).

  5. Eucalyptus Leaf & Essential Oil: Eucalyptus oil is a natural decongestant that can help relieve sinus pressure and congestion. Add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to a diffuser or vaporizer and inhale the steam to relieve allergy symptoms.

While these natural remedies can be effective in treating seasonal allergies, it is important to note that they may not be suitable for everyone. It is always best to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new herbal remedies, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking medication, or even if you are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant.


In addition to herbal remedies, there are also several lifestyle changes that can help alleviate allergy symptoms. These include avoiding allergens as much as possible, keeping windows and doors closed, and using air purifiers and HEPA filters to reduce indoor allergens.


What is your GO-TO allergy remedy?

  • over the counter allergy medication (i.e. Zyrtec, Claritin)

  • local honey or pollen

  • essential oils

  • just suffer through it?...


In conclusion, treating seasonal allergies with natural herbal remedies in Arizona can be a safe and effective way to alleviate allergy symptoms. By incorporating these remedies into your daily routine, you can enjoy the beautiful Arizona outdoors without suffering from the discomfort of seasonal allergies.
