Herbs for Allergies

“Your gut and your hormones aren’t two separate problems. They’re one conversation – and most women have never been shown how to listen to it.”

– DR. RILEY SMITH

Yep, Stinging Nettle.

Now, I’m not saying go pick a bunch of nettle and rub it all over yourself- please don’t do that;

You can easily find nettle tea and even capsules at places like Whole Foods, Sprouts, or Amazon.

Nettle has natural anti-inflammatory properties and is extremely high in Chlorophyll, Vitamin C and Vitamin A. Due to these reasons it is perfect for treating all symptoms of seasonal allergies. Watery eyes, hay fever, itching, sneezing, runny nose, you name it. If a cup of tea isn’t your style, you can infuse nettle into other drinks or meals. Utilize the nettle in a way which fits your lifestyle. There is nothing better than an all-natural cure to seasonal allergies, so it might be worth skipping your regular OTC for a bit to see if the nettle route works for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can gut issues really affect my hormones?

A large share of hormone processing and clearance happens in the gut, so when digestion is under strain, hormone balance often follows.

Why do my labs come back normal when I still don't feel right?

Standard panels are built to flag disease, not the early-pattern shifts that leave you depleted. Reading several systems together is where the answer usually shows up.
