Ah choo! Here’s natural help for this itchy, sneezy time of year…
The herbal treatment stinging nettle may sound like a painful solution, but it’s a common plant that acts as a natural antihistamine…and you aren’t going to sting yourself with it, for goodness sake. According to the naturopaths we consulted, a freeze-dried extract of the leaves taken in capsule form is best (available at many health-food stores and even drugstores and supermarkets). To control hay fever symptoms, take one or two capsules every two to four hours. Or follow the dosage directions on the label…or (best of all) ask your doctor what dosage is right for you.
