The congestion, bronchial irritation, sneezing, and itchy, watery eyes associated with allergies can be quite difficult to endure. Our Allergy Relief Basket is full of delicious goodies specifically chosen to provide symptomatic relief.
Magnesium has been shown to relieve constricted airways in the lungs and reduce bronchial discomfort associated with allergies. In light of this evidence, we've included magnesium rich sources such as almonds and chocolate (yes, chocolate!)
Also important in allergy relief is Quercetin, an allergy-fighting compound. Quercetin reduces inflammation, prevents the release of histamine, and blocks allergic reactions to pollens. Foods such as red onions, kale, and spinach are good sources of quercetin, and we've included crispy Red Onion chips.
Cherries are also a wonderful source of quercetin, a flavonoid, with antihistaminic properties. To reap the benefits of these delicious, juicy fruits, we've included a scrumptious Cherry Pancake and Waffle Mix.
Allergy sufferers should also become familiar with ginger. Ginger is a natural antihistamine and decongestant that may provide relief from allergy symptoms by dilating constricted bronchial tubes. We've included a delicious dark chocolate and crystallized ginger bar.
Apricots make a delicious snack that contain impressive amounts of beta-carotene, a carotenoid that can help maintain optimal respiratory and immune function.
