Stay Strong This Spring: Immune Support for Allergy Season
Spring is a time of renewal—but for many, it also means sneezing, congestion, and itchy eyes. If you struggle with seasonal allergies, you know how they can leave you feeling run down. What you might not realize is that allergies and immune health go hand in hand. When your body is busy fighting allergens like pollen, dust, and mold, your immune system can become overworked, making you more susceptible to colds, fatigue, and inflammation.
At the Salerno Center for Complementary Medicine, we take a proactive approach to wellness. By strengthening your immune system, you can better manage allergy symptoms and stay energized all season long.
How Allergies Impact Your Immune System
Seasonal allergies happen when your immune system reacts to harmless substances like pollen as if they were dangerous invaders. This overreaction releases histamines, leading to symptoms like congestion, sinus pressure, and fatigue. If your immune system is already weakened, allergy season can hit even harder—leaving you feeling sluggish and more vulnerable to infections.
The good news? With the right nutrition, supplements, and natural therapies, you can support your immune system and ease allergy symptoms naturally.
5 Ways to Boost Immunity & Combat Allergy Symptoms
1
Eat Foods That Fight Allergies
A strong immune system starts with proper nutrition. Incorporate these powerhouse foods into your diet:
✅ Vitamin C-rich fruits & veggies
Citrus fruits, bell peppers, and leafy greens help lower histamine levels and reduce allergy symptoms.
✅ Quercetin-packed foods
Onions, apples, and berries naturally stabilize immune cells and curb inflammation.
✅ Omega-3 sources
Salmon, flaxseeds, and walnuts help reduce allergy-related inflammation.
✅ Probiotic-rich foods
Yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut promote gut health, which plays a key role in immune function.

Support Your Body with Targeted Supplements
Sometimes, diet alone isn’t enough—especially during allergy season. Consider adding Seasonal Factor from Salerno Center for Complementary Medicine to your daily routine. This supplement is a blend of flavonoids, antioxidants, proteolytic enzymes, and botanicals, designed to support seasonal challenges caused by common environmental allergens.

Minimize Your Exposure to Allergens
Reducing your allergen load can make a huge difference:
🚪 Keep windows closed - Prevent pollen from entering your home, especially on windy days.
🌬️ Use an air purifier - HEPA filters trap airborne allergens like pollen and dust.
🛁 Shower after outdoor activities - Rinse off allergens to avoid spreading them indoors.
🌿 Try nasal rinsing - A saline rinse can help flush out allergens and clear congestion.
4
Manage Stress for a Stronger Immune System
Did you know stress can make allergies worse? Chronic stress weakens the immune system, increasing inflammation and worsening symptoms. Keep stress in check with:
🧘 Deep breathing & meditation - Helps lower stress hormones that contribute to inflammation.
🏃 Regular exercise - Boosts circulation and supports detoxification.
😴 Quality sleep - Aim for 7-9 hours per night to help your body recharge.
