Easing Allergies Naturally
Stinging Nettle has been widely used in Germany for treating allergies, hayfever and prostate problems. A typical dosage is two to three 300 mg capsules of freeze-dried nettle. There has been some concern that nettle can interfere with diabetes or high blood pressure medications, but no actual cases have been proven. Other helpful supplements for allergies include quercetin and other flavonoids. Some studies suggest that quercetin actually works like the drug Intal, which halts the release of allergenic substances into the body. The recommended dosage for quercetin is 200 to 400 mg three times a day - and it's better absorbed if taken on an empty stomach.
