Allergies among children are rather widespread and significantly compromise their quality of life. Constant sneezing from allergies, itching, congestion, and watery eyes are lots of disruptive factors, interfering with proper sleep and focus. Treatment for allergies is approached holistically at Blossom Pediatric. Natural, non-invasive treatments catered to your child's needs are provided by our holistic pediatrician in NYC.

Common Factors for Environmental Allergies

Triggers of these include everything from seasonally increasing pollen to year-round affects in others.

Pollen

Seasonal allergies are brought on by pollen released by grasses, trees, and weeds.

Dust Mites

Carpeting, bedding, and upholstery all provide good musky living places for dust mites, which often manifest in allergic reactions.

Mold

Mold actually begins to grow in wet, damp environments. These molds are known to cause allergies because they are spore producers and can be irritating to airways and skin as well.

Pet Dander

Allergic responses may be caused by proteins found in pet saliva, fur, and skin flakes.

Air Pollution

Smoke, fumes, and several airborne chemicals can be responsible for allergy symptoms.

Environmental Allergy Symptoms 

The symptoms are usually of levels of severity, and they include: 

Sneezing and nasal congestion 

Runny or stuffy nose 

Itchy, watery, or red eyes 

Skin rashes or hives 

Chronic coughing 

Wheezing or shortness of breath 

Fatigue and poor concentration 

Holistic Allergy Treatment Options

Blossom Pediatric team will employ natural, non-toxic treatments. A holistic pediatrician in NYC would consider a child’s complete health, including immunity status during the treatment.  

Reducing Exposure to Allergens

The first step of symptom management is minimizing allergen exposure.   

Keep the windows closed during a high pollen season.

Put your house HEPA air purifiers so you can clean all those allergens out of your air. 

Clean your carpets regularly and vacuum them with a HEPA filter.  

Limit stuffed animals and fabric-covered furniture in bedrooms.

Maintain proper indoor humidity to prevent mold growth.

Strengthening the Immune System

A resilient and robust immune system better addresses the allergen invasion.

A balanced diet - Fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole foods are immune boosters.

Probiotics - Found in fermented foods and yogurt that may promote good gut health and help prevent allergies.

Herbal Supplements - Herbs that naturally reduce inflammation, such as nettle leaf and turmeric, can help reduce symptoms.

Vitamin C and quercetin - These agents can reduce allergic reactions due to their antioxidants properties.

Natural Remedies for Allergy Relief

A drug-free cure is provided, ensuring no side effects for the user.

Saline nasal rinses

Clear out nasal passages by eliminating allergen contaminants.

Steam inhalation

It calms inflamed airways, making it easier to breathe.

Essential oil

Eucalyptus and peppermint relieve congestion and inflammation.

Acupuncture and Homeopathy

Additional relief from allergy symptoms may be provided by alternative treatments.

Acupuncture

Homeopathic remedies

These treatments encourage natural healing and are tailored to each patient's symptoms.

Nutrition and Allergy Management

A Balanced diet can reduce inflammation and improve overall health; it can also induce and regulate some common allergy symptoms.

Foods to Avoid

Processed foods with artificial preservatives

Dairy products, leading to high mucus production

Foods high in sugar are known to diminish immune function.

Anti-Inflammatory Foods to Include

Future allergy responses are avoided by boosting immunity.
