Itchy eyes? Runny nose? Cross reactions with food? It feels like the season for allergies never goes away. This fall, from hay fever and ragweed to mold from the falling leaves, swollen joints and inflammation, allergies and allergic reactions can manifest in mysterious and complex ways. Worse yet, sometimes the standard solutions can be just as irritating and toxic!

To help you navigate this novel allergy season, here are some tried and true tips sent with love from our practice to you.

## 1\. Try quercetin for allergies.

For general allergic “muck” and inflammation – also known as your run-of-the-mill itchy eyes, runny nose, etc. – try taking [quercetin](https://myvillagegreen.com/products/quercetin-plus). Quercetin is a naturally occurring flavonoid (you can find it in small doses in fruits and vegetables) and a natural antihistamine with anti-inflammatory properties. Quercetin can reduce the symptoms of allergies without burdening the liver, therefore making it a great alternative to standard antihistamines.
