Allergy season can be relentless, and for many, it’s a year-round battle. Congestion, itchy eyes, and fatigue can make you feel like you’re moving through life with a weighted blanket wrapped around your head. Your first line of defense may be to use over-the-counter medications, but let’s face it, those don’t always provide the relief you need. If your go-to allergy solutions aren’t cutting it, a more comprehensive approach could help you build long-term resilience and find lasting relief.

Give your body the nutrients it needs

Supporting your body with the right nutrients – through diet, supplementation, and hydration – can lay the foundation for better allergy management. But, as we mentioned earlier, sometimes your body needs a more “advanced” approach. Enter: IV therapy and injections. Allergy management through IV therapy and injections can help take things to the next level by delivering powerful vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into your bloodstream for fast, effective relief. 

In this guide, we’ll explore key dietary strategies, beneficial supplements, and powerful IV therapy combos (which may or may not include injections) to help you stay ahead of seasonal allergies. And, help you feel your best year-round.

Recommendation 1️⃣: Look into your diet

Building long-term resilience against seasonal allergies starts with what’s on your plate. A balanced, anti-inflammatory diet supports your immune system, reduces inflammation, and could help your body better manage those pesky allergy symptoms. But, rather than thinking of this as a “diet,” we encourage you to think of it as a lifestyle shift – one that prioritizes nutrient-rich foods to boost your overall health while also supporting allergy management. 

Studies suggest that the Mediterranean diet (famous for its focus on whole, nutrient-packed foods) could be incredibly beneficial for allergy sufferers. This way of eating revolves around leafy greens, nuts, fatty fish, tomatoes, olive oil, and a variety of fruits, all of which help support overall health and offer some long-term allergy-fighting benefits.

Beyond these Mediterranean staples, certain foods and natural compounds also pack a punch when it comes to antihistamine and anti-inflammatory properties:

Quercetin

A natural compound found in onions and apples, quercetin is thought to have antihistamine effects.

Citrus fruits 

Oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit… These fruits are like your immune system’s personal cheerleaders, providing a boost of vitamin C to help your body combat seasonal allergies. 

Honey

Let’s clear this up – eating local honey won’t magically help your body adapt to regional pollen or ease your allergies. That’s just a myth. However, that doesn’t mean honey is useless during allergy season. It can still help soothe a sore, irritated throat caused by allergy symptoms. So, go ahead and add it to your routine, just don’t count on it as a cure.

Recommendation 2️⃣: Consider supplementation 

So, you’ve got your diet dialed in for managing allergy symptoms, but now it’s time to take things a step further. IV Nutrition can help with that too. Certain oral supplements may help provide additional support in your fight against seasonal allergies. Here are a few worth considering:

Quercetin

As we mentioned, quercetin, found in foods like onions and apples, is a powerful natural antihistamine. But, you can also find quercetin in supplement form, which may provide additional support in reducing allergic reactions by stabilizing mast cells and preventing the release of histamine.

Bromelain

Bromelain is an enzyme found in pineapple, and it’s got natural anti-inflammatory powers that can help reduce nasal swelling from allergies. It’s sometimes paired with quercetin in supplements to give allergy-fighting an extra boost.

Probiotics

A healthy gut is key to maintaining a balanced immune system. Probiotics can help support gut health, which in turn may reduce inflammation and support your body’s immune response to allergens. Win-win!

N-acetylcysteine (NAC)

NAC is a supplement that helps thin mucus, which can be especially beneficial if your allergies lead to congestion or sinus issues. It also has antioxidant properties that can support overall immune health.

Keep in mind that supplements are most effective when combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle, and it’s always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider at IV Nutrition before starting any new supplementation routine.

Recommendation 3️⃣: Invest in IV therapy + injections

Diet – ✔️, Supplements – ✔️, now it’s time to talk about IV therapy and injections.

No matter how much you tweak your diet or take your supplements, you may still be left feeling like a sneezy, congested mess. Sometimes, dietary changes and supplements just aren’t enough. And, let’s be real – no amount of tissues or antihistamines can fix everything. Your body might just need a little more than the usual quick fixes to feel like itself again. Luckily, we’ve got exactly what you need to make that happen.
