Seasonal allergies can be difficult (and miserable!) for children with pollen allergies and may even impact sleep as well as learning if symptoms are not well controlled.  The following are helpful ideas for fending off children's fall pollen allergies.

• Keep your child well hydrated to keep the mucous membranes moist. (Children need half their weight in ounces daily).
• Ensure a nutritional healthy diet with the rainbow of colors from vegetables and fruits that provide vitamin C, vitamin A, and bioflavonoids to reduce the amount of histamine the body produces in response to an allergen.
• Use an indoor air purifier.
• Keep windows closed in bedrooms. Keep all windows closed during peak allergy seasons.
• Keep pets well groomed, out of bedrooms, and off the furniture. Pets are great pollen collectors from being outside and then may transfer pollen indoors and onto furniture or bedding.
• Have your child shower before bed or after time spent outdoors to remove pollens. (Pollens are carried on shoes, clothes, hair etc.)
• Remove shoes upon entering the home to prevent “tracking in” allergens.
• Use nasal saline spray to clear pollens from nasal passages.
• Pollen counts are typically higher in the evening so if possible, schedule outdoor activities earlier in the day.

Natural Support for Children’s Seasonal Pollen Allergies

Local honey (1-2 tsp daily) can be taken 2-3 months prior to pollen season to help in desensitizing pollen allergies. (Contains pollens from local plants, flowers, weeds, trees, grasses etc.) 

D-Hist Jr. is a comprehensive natural supplement for children recommended by Pediatricians who integrate natural approach options with conventional medicine in their care for children. D-Hist Jr. is a great tasting chewable supplement formulated to support healthy immune balance during allergy season. D-Hist Jr. contains quercetin a powerful plant flavonoid to support healthy histamine levels. The quercetin is combined with bromelain, a plant based enzyme to aid the absorption of the quercetin and is beneficial in decreasing inflammation and supporting mucous membranes. Stinging Nettles leaf assists in balancing the hyper-immune response. N-acetyl cysteine, an antioxidant derived from an amino acid, assists in clearing mucous from the airways. Vitamin C is added as an essential nutrient to support the immune system and is a potent antioxidant with the ability to assist in deactivating the histamine response. Together the ingredients assist in supporting the immune system during pollen allergy season. D-Hist Jr. works best when begun a couple weeks prior to the onset of allergy season.

D-Hist is also available in capsule form for older children who prefer swallowing a capsule. D-Hist Jr. and D-Hist are available in the children’s health products section at this Fullscript link.
