Allergy Attack!
Natural Remedies for Pregnant Women
By Teri Brown
Avoidance of known allergens is key in decreasing the frequency and intensity of allergy symptoms. Avoiding cigarette smoke can help keep symptoms under control and creates a markedly safer developmental environment for a growing baby.
Pregnant women also can try the following non-drug options for allergy relief:
- Saline nasal sprays
- Nasal irrigation
- Humidifier use
- Mustard or herb plasters
Be sure to drink plenty of fluids during the onset of allergies, adds Dr. London. Air purifiers in the home also are helpful in combating allergies, as they help rid the home of air-born molds, toxins and impurities.
Although allergies and their symptoms can't be completely eradicated, the discomfort level of the symptoms can be lessened for the pregnant woman, both naturally and simply.
