Natural Remedies for Fall Allergies: How to Relieve Ragweed, Mold & Dust Symptoms Naturally

When most people think of allergies, spring pollen and blooming flowers come to mind. But fall allergies can be just as frustrating — or worse. Ragweed pollen, mold spores, and dust mites are common autumn triggers, leading to sneezing, watery eyes, sinus pressure, and fatigue.
If you find yourself sniffling through September and October, you’re not alone — and the good news is, natural allergy relief is possible.
Why Do Fall Allergies Flare Up?
Several environmental changes during fall can intensify allergic reactions:
-
Ragweed pollen is a major culprit — one plant can release over a billion grains of pollen in a single season.
-
Mold spores thrive in piles of damp leaves and compost.
-
Dust mites increase indoors when heaters are turned on and windows are closed.
These allergens can trigger the immune system to release histamines, causing inflammation and classic allergy symptoms like congestion, itching, and fatigue.
Natural Allergy Relief: Supporting Your Body Holistically
While over-the-counter antihistamines may offer temporary relief, natural approaches support your immune system long-term by targeting the root causes of inflammation and histamine overload.
Key Supplements for Natural Fall Allergy Support
