Allergies occur when your immune system reacts to a foreign substance (such as pollen, bee venom or pet dander), or a food that doesn't cause a reaction in most people.
Your immune system produces substances known as antibodies. When you have allergies, your immune system makes antibodies that identify a particular allergen as harmful, even though it isn't. When you come into contact with the allergen, your immune system's reaction can inflame your skin, sinuses, airways or digestive system.

The severity of allergies varies from person to person and can range from minor irritation to anaphylaxis (a potentially life-threatening emergency). While most allergies can't be cured, treatments can help relieve your allergy symptoms.  Below are some herbal supplements which can reduce or lesson the symptoms of allergies.

Quercetin with Bromelain Quercetin is a plant flavonol from the flavonoid group of polyphenols. It is found in many fruits, vegetables, leaves, and grains.  Most studies have shown that quercetin stabilizes the membranes of mast cells, and also reduces the release of preformed histamine (chemicals your immune system makes). The dose of quercetin is usually 400–600 mg one to three times daily, between meals. Quercetin is not soluble in water. Bromelain, which is a protein-digesting enzyme extracted from pineapples, increases the absorption of Quercetin. Therefore, Quercetin is typically sold blended with one, or both of the additives. Research reports that Quercetin can have anti-allergic and antihistamine properties.  In one animal study, researchers found that Quercetin could reduce the respiratory effects of allergies in mice, by lowering airway inflammation. Taking supplements of Quercetin will work better in the treatment of allergies than eating foods alone which contain it. This is because foods have significantly lower levels of the flavonoid.  Quercetin is generally safe for most people. Research suggests that adding Quercetin to the diet may help to relieve allergy symptoms.

Stinging Nettle Root Extract Stinging Nettle is a plant which grows across North America in River Banks, Farm Fields, and along Roadsides. The root and above ground parts are used as medicine.  Stinging nettle is a popular treatment for seasonal allergies. Scientists are not yet sure how it has this effect, though some suggest it is because the nettle can reduce allergy-related inflammation in the body. Seasonal allergies occur when a substance such as pollen triggers the body to produce histamine. Histamine is what causes the characteristic symptoms of allergies, including inflammation, itching, and hives. According to some research, Stinging Nettle Root Extract may disrupt the allergy process by inhibiting the body's histamine production and related inflammation.  Stinging Nettle Root Extract may also affect the sneezing and itching of hay fever. It also reduces the amount of histamine the body releases from mast cells in response to allergens. Dosage: Take 2 capsules 1 - 2 times daily.
