A guide to seasonal allergy relief and sleep support

Springtime sniffles, be gone.

Explore tips, tools, and supplements to help you breathe easier and sleep deeper.

Along with blossoming trees and warmer air, spring can also usher in sneezes, itchy eyes, and restless nights. Around 50 million Americans deal with seasonal allergies each year, and the worst part is that their effects can strike around the clock, not just during the daytime, but also while trying to rest and recharge. At Grove, we carry only the best brands for powerful, safe allergy relief and sounder sleep.

So you can not only face the season with less allergy symptoms, but also take a minute to rest, relax, and enjoy.

Clear the air

Start with a fresher living space

Your home should be a sanctuary, not a breeding ground for allergens. Unfortunately, indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air. Common allergens like pollen, dust mites, mold spores, and pet dander love to hide in soft surfaces like pillows, couches, bedding, and carpets.[1] Some tips to cut out common allergens around your home:

Upgrade your filters

  • Use a HEPA (short for “High-Efficiency Particulate Air”) air purifier in your bedroom to capture airborne allergens. These particular filters are clinically shown to reduce particles like pollen and dust that can trigger allergic reactions.[2]

Wash linens weekly in hot water

  • We’re talking everything from sheets and kitchen towels to pet bedding. Use a gentle, fragrance-free detergent that’s hypoallergenic and tough on dust mites.

Swap out synthetic fibers

  • Choose bedding and towels made from breathable, natural materials like organic cotton, which resists allergens better than synthetic fibers.

Face springtime head-on

Find effective, safer allergy relief

When allergies strike, our first instinct is often to reach for over-the-counter medications, many of which can cause side effects such as drowsiness and dry mouth. However, there are tons of plant-powered supplements out there that also help support the body’s response to seasonal allergens.

Some natural-ingredient allergy relief to look out for:

Quercetin and bromelain

  • This powerhouse combo is found in many plant-based allergy supplements. Quercetin is a natural flavonoid that helps stabilize histamines, while bromelain (an enzyme found in pineapple cores) supports a healthy inflammation response.

Local honey

  • Some find that small daily amounts of local, raw honey may help desensitize the body to local pollen—plus it’s a tasty addition to your morning tea, yogurt, or toast.

Nettle leaf

  • This traditional herbal remedy is rich in antioxidants and supports respiratory comfort. Look for it in capsules or loose-leaf tea.

Probiotics

  • Because a healthy gut microbiome plays a big role in immune health, including how your body reacts to allergens.

At the end of the day

It’s all about sleep hygiene

Allergies can mess with more than just your nose — they interfere with your sleep cycle, too. Studies show that allergy symptoms can reduce REM sleep and increase nighttime awakenings.[4]

Before popping over-the-counter meds, consider these practical tips for better, more restful sleep:

  1. Shower before bed to rinse off pollen and dander.
  2. Use a humidifier to keep nasal passages moist, which in turn helps reduce irritation and congestion.
  3. Wind down with gentle supplements containing sleep-supporting ingredients like melatonin, magnesium, lemon balm, and l-theanine.
  4. Keep windows closed during high-pollen hours (typically early morning and dusk)
  5. Add snake plants and peace lilies to your home, both of which purify the air naturally.
