The Best Juices for When Your Allergies Kick In
Sneezing non-stop? Eyes watering? Throat itching? Live in Atlanta in the springtime?
Sneezing non-stop? Eyes watering? Throat itching? Live in Atlanta in the springtime? Yep. According to the Allergy & Asthma Center in Atlanta, tree pollen from our bountiful oak and birch trees hits peak levels by late March and doesn’t fully die down until sometime in May. That dusting of yellow pollen that’s all over your car, your patio, and your plants? It’s also in your nose!
This is the time of year our customers come into our stores looking for relief from their allergy symptoms. And while the temptation is to pop a Zyrtec, we’d love you to consider some of our fresh juices packed with natural, anti-inflammatory ingredients for relief without the drowsy side effects.
Understanding Allergies and the Immune Response
Allergies occur when your immune system mistakes harmless substances like pollen or dust for dangerous invaders.This triggers the release of histamine, which is responsible for sneezing, congestion, and itchy eyes. Your body's defense mechanism goes into overdrive and meanwhile, you feel miserable.
Here's the good news: natural, cold-pressed juices can help calm that overactive response. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds, many of Arden’s Gardens juices can reduce inflammation and support your immune system. Unlike processed juices, cold-pressed varieties maintain their full nutritional power. At Arden's Garden, our cold-press method ensures that every bottle delivers the freshest, most effective allergy-fighting ingredients possible.
How Juices Can Help Combat Allergies
Certain fruits and vegetables are natural for fighting allergies. They contain powerful compounds that calm inflammation, block histamines, and strengthen your immune system.
For example, Vitamin C in citrus fruits helps reduce histamine production and boost immunity. Curcumin in turmeric helps calm an overactive immune response. Ginger opens the mucus membranes. Lemon acts as a natural liver toner to help move toxins (like pollen) out of your system.
Cold-pressed juicing preserves these essential nutrients. Our process at Arden's Garden extracts juice gently, without heat or oxygen, ensuring you get the maximum benefits in every sip. When allergy season hits, our juices are a secret weapon for soothing symptoms naturally.
Look For These Juice Ingredients for Allergy Relief
Vitamin C-Rich Fruits and Vegetables
Citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and grapefruits are more than refreshing. They’re your best friend during allergy season. Vitamin C strengthens your immune system and helps reduce histamine levels, meaning fewer sneezes and less congestion.
At Arden's Garden, we incorporate citrus fruits into many of our blends. OurTurmeric Loves Carrot drink delivers a burst of fresh orange juice, while our Firecracker Shot combines lemon with other potent immune boosters. The ginger and cayenne pepper in our shot will help clear your nasal passages quick! Because we only use whole, fresh citrus fruits, our cold-pressed method captures the maximum amount of vitamin C so you get the full allergy-fighting effect.
Ginger: Nature's Anti-Inflammatory Powerhouse
Ginger is a superstar when it comes to fighting inflammation. It helps reduce the chemicals that trigger allergy symptoms and opens up congested nasal passages. Plus, it's a natural immune booster that supports your body's defenses against allergens.
Our Ginger Shot at Arden's Garden is crafted to deliver a potent dose of this powerful root. Made with fresh, cold-pressed ginger, each shot is packed with the natural enzymes that help soothe allergy symptoms quickly. If you are seeking relief or just trying to stay proactive, a daily Ginger Shot is a game-changer.
Turmeric: The Golden Anti-Inflammatory
Turmeric contains curcumin, a compound known for its incredible anti-inflammatory properties. It helps calm your immune system's overreaction to allergens and can reduce swelling in your airways.
At Arden's Garden, we offer two turmeric-packed options: the Golden Turmeric Shot and Turmeric Loves Carrot. Both are made with fresh turmeric root and black pepper, which open up those stuffed mucus membranes.
Carrot's Beta-Carotene Benefits
Beta-carotene, found in carrots, is converted by your body into vitamin A—a nutrient vital for maintaining healthy respiratory tissues. This helps your body defend against allergens while soothing inflamed nasal passages.
Our Turmeric Loves Carrot juice combines the power of beta-carotene with turmeric's anti-inflammatory properties. Cold-pressed for maximum nutrient retention, it's a delicious and effective way to support your respiratory system throughout allergy season.
