Ever wondered why seasonal allergies happen and why your body reacts the way it does? It’s all part of your immune system’s effort to protect you! In this guide, we’ll help you understand what may be causing your seasonal allergies and possible ailments.
Explaining Seasonal Allergies: Your Immune System’s Surprising Response
Understanding exactly how allergies happen is a bit confusing. First, you may be exposing yourself to certain allergens and you might not even know it (see list below). Your immune system recognizes these allergens as threats and releases histamines, which is the reason behind your allergy symptoms. Allergens are not necessarily harmful, but your body reacts the way it does because it believes them to be.
Here is a list of the most common allergens:
- Pollen:
- Source: Trees, grasses, and weeds release pollen into the air.
- Symptoms: Hay fever symptoms, such as sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, and itchy or watery eyes.
- Dust Mites:
- Source: Tiny insects that thrive in indoor environments, especially in bedding, upholstered furniture, and carpets.
- Symptoms: Sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, and skin rashes.
- Pet Dander:
- Source: Tiny, even microscopic, flecks of skin shed by cats, dogs, rodents, and other animals with fur or feathers.
- Symptoms: Allergic reactions can range from mild to severe and may include sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, and skin reactions.
How To Naturally Alleviate Seasonal Allergies
There are many ways to support allergies naturally. As previously mentioned, it should be a priority to identify the triggers that cause them first. To help you with this you could keep a diary for when symptoms occur and the severity of them.
Did you know that more than a quarter of adults report having seasonal allergies? If you think you may have seasonal allergies and/or if they’re persistent, you should consult with your healthcare professional.

Histamine Regulation: Abnormal histamine levels may also be contributing to your symptoms. This is where the nettle leaf comes in! Nettle leaf contains compounds that may interfere with the production and release of histamine, a chemical involved in allergic reactions. By doing so, nettle leaf may help prevent the exaggerated immune response associated with allergies.
