Deluxe Seasonal Allergy Relief Healthy Gift Basket
The congestion, bronchial irritation, sneezing, and itchy, watery eyes associated with allergies can be quite difficult to endure. Our Deluxe 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 kale and spinach are good sources of quercetin, so we've included Spinny Chips made with organic spinach.
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 sour cherry spread to enjoy atop whole-grain cherry waffles or pancakes (mix included).
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 delicious crystallized ginger for a spicy treat.
Apricots make a delicious snack that contain impressive amounts of beta-carotene, a carotenoid that can help maintain optimal respiratory and immune function.
