Breathe Easy This Spring: How Rooibos and Quercetin Can Help with Allergy Relief
Posted on April 13 2025
Ah, spring! The season of blooming flowers, warmer days, and - unfortunately for many - sneezing, watery eyes, and runny noses. If you suffer from seasonal allergies, you know how frustrating it can be to enjoy the beauty of spring when your immune system is on high alert.
Thankfully, nature has its own gentle remedies. At Nu-Tea Company, we love sharing plant-powered wellness tips - and today, we're diving into how Rooibos tea, rich in the natural antioxidant quercetin, can help soothe allergy symptoms naturally.
What is Quercetin?
Quercetin is a powerful plant compound found in many fruits and vegetables. It’s especially prized for its antihistamine and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a natural choice for allergy sufferers.
When your body comes into contact with allergens like pollen, it releases histamine, a chemical that triggers allergy symptoms. Quercetin helps stabilize the cells that release histamine, potentially reducing sneezing, congestion, and itchy eyes before they even start.
Why Rooibos Tea?
You may already know that Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free, rich in antioxidants, and supports overall wellness. But did you know it's also a natural source of quercetin?
Drinking Rooibos regularly during allergy season may:
-
Calm histamine reactions that cause sneezing and irritation
-
Soothe inflammation in your sinuses and airways
-
Support your immune system without side effects
-
Keep you hydrated, which is key when battling allergies
And unlike many over-the-counter allergy medications, Rooibos tea won’t make you drowsy or dry you out. It's a comforting, daily ritual that supports your health in a gentle, holistic way.
