Spring is coming: Pollen allergies and natural solutions with OptiMSM for a better everyday life
As spring approaches and nature comes to life, it's also time to prepare for pollen season. Pollen allergies, or hay fever, can make spring far less pleasant, but with a few simple measures you can manage the symptoms naturally.
Pollen season varies by location and type of pollen, but it usually runs from early spring to late fall. The most common pollens that cause allergic reactions are:
- Trees (spring and early summer): Oak, birch, hazel and willow.
- Grass (summer): Timothy, meadow fescue and other grass species.
- Weeds (late summer and autumn): Common ragweed and wormwood.
Allergic reactions such as sneezing, stuffy nose, itchy eyes and headaches can make everyday life challenging. There are natural solutions that can strengthen the body and provide relief in a more holistic way.
1. Strengthen your immune system with diet and clean supplements
One of the most important principles is to strengthen the immune system through diet and natural supplements. By adding specific nutrients, you can improve the body's ability to handle allergens and reduce inflammation.
- Aarjas OptiMSM: is the world's purest MSM with vitamin C and blueberries. An organic yvovel compound that can help reduce inflammation and relieve allergic reactions, and can help reduce inflammation and relieve allergic reactions, and can provide relief for pollen allergies. Our best-selling OptiMSM is known for providing fast relief and is a valuable supplement during pollen season.
- Aarjas Vitamin C: A powerful antioxidant that supports the immune system and reduces allergic reactions. Our Vitamin C+Zinc contains both chaga and vitamin C from rose hips, which provide additional health benefits.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 can reduce inflammation that occurs with allergic reactions. We recommend using our Omega3 Krill , which is purer and more effective than regular fish oil, and is supported by over 50 scientific studies.
- Probiotics: A healthy gut flora is essential for a well-functioning immune system. By including probiotic foods like kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi and kombucha, you can balance your gut flora and strengthen your immune system against allergens. (During the summer of 2025, Aarja will launch its probiotic supplement that covers a full 17 bacterial strains!)
- Aarjas Curcumin with Ginger : Our Curcumin with Ginger is anti-inflammatory and 256 times more potent than standard curcumin, and can help relieve inflammation and strengthen the immune system – a perfect ingredient in a natural allergy regimen. The ingredient has won the Nutraingredients Awards 2 times!
Did you know that approximately 70-80% of our immune system is found in the gut? When the gut is in balance, the body is better equipped to deal with allergens such as pollen. Prebiotic foods such as onions, garlic, bananas and asparagus nourish the good bacteria in the gut, and fiber from fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains plays an important role in supporting digestion.
2. Reduce stress to relieve allergy symptoms
Stress can worsen allergic reactions by weakening the immune system and increasing inflammation in the body.
- Breathing exercises: Try the “4-7-8” technique (inhaling for 4 seconds, holding your breath for 7 seconds, and exhaling for 8 seconds) to calm your body and mind. This technique can help reduce stress levels.
- Aarjas Magnesium Glycinate with Hemp Seed: Our new unique Magnesium Glycinate with Hemp Seed is an effective supplement for stress reduction and anxiety in particular. It can help provide relief when you are feeling stressed or overwhelmed.
3. Practical tips for managing pollen allergies
Here are some simple, practical tips to minimize pollen exposure and improve your everyday life during pollen season:
- Time of day for outdoor activities: Pollen is highest in the early morning and late afternoon. Avoid being outdoors during these times, especially when the pollen forecast is high.
- Clean your home regularly: Pollen can accumulate indoors, so vacuum frequently and wash bedding and clothes. Keep windows and doors closed on days with high pollen counts, and make sure your air conditioning filters are clean.
- Shower and change clothes after outdoor activities: Pollen can stick to your hair and skin, so shower after being outside and change clothes to avoid spreading pollen indoors.
