A Witch’s Herbal Remedies for Seasonal Allergies
Ilove nature. i actually do. Which is why it's so unfortunate that about twice a year, i buy hit really hard with seasonal allergies. Thankfully, with many research as both a crazy plant lady and a witch, I’ve found mother earth still has many healing properties and natural resources I can address for alleviating my sneezing. So in fact , I’ve turned a couple of of my natural remedies into my very own little self-care spells.
Stinging Nettle
Stinging Nettle may be a natural anti-inflammatory, and doubtless the foremost effective natural anti-allergy that I’ve tried. The “sting” of its’ name comes from tiny hollow hairs the leaves, which causes a burning skin irritation if you are available contact with it. Don’t worry though! Unless you’re growing and harvesting yourself, it's sting-free and safe after it's processed.
You’ll find it most ordinarily as a tea. confirm your cup or teapot is roofed because it steeps so all the great stuff doesn’t escape with the steam!
I’m not getting to lie, the flavour of nettle tea on its’ own may be a little weird and grassy. It’s not the worst thing I’ve ever tasted, and it are often improved! My nettle tea ritual includes adding some honey or other natural sweetener. This plant’s commonest magickal attribute is protection, so kindly ask it to guard you from what ails you. Stir anti-clockwise (sending AWAY the allergies) and mentally repeat “Blessed Nettle, my allergies are settled.” and in fact , don’t forget to mention thanks.
Garlic
Garlic may help seasonal allergies by reducing sinus pressure and boosting the system . Fresh cut garlic makes allicin – that’s the great stuff that you simply want to urge for your allergies. However, heat can deactivate its’ benefits. For the simplest results, add a clove or more of fresh, un-cooked, chopped or crushed garlic to your meal. Garlic’s magickal properties include home protection and avoiding negative spirits. i assume ghosts aren’t big fans of garlic breath either!
Turmeric + Black Pepper
Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, which is an antioxidant and anti inflammatory and may help lessen the severity of allergy symptoms. Unfortunately, it doesn’t absorb into the bloodstream alright , and you’d need to consume quite little bit of it to actually enjoy it alone. Pairing it with black pepper can help enhance its’ benefits. Black pepper contains piperine, which may boost the curcumin absorption and help reduce headaches too. Magickally, turmeric and black pepper are both good for banishment, so plow ahead and banish those allergies!
Ginger
Ginger, another anti-inflammatory, comes from an equivalent family as turmeric. the most bioactive compound in it's gingerol, which is where many of the medicinal qualities of ginger come from. along side helping ease the symptoms of seasonal allergies, it's going to also help reduce nausea, soreness and menstrual pain, lower vital sign , and even help repel colds and flus!
Ginger’s is great for magickal protection. it's also added to spells for love or success to offer it a touch “heat” as another boost!
Below I’ve included a recipe for a golden milk latte. I picked it because it combines the powers of ginger, turmeric and black pepper into one tasty healing drink! The below measurements are really just a rough draft. Whenever I make this, I basically wing it, adding during a dash here and a sprinkle there with no real measurements, then adjust it to taste. I suggest
