Watch: How Arizona Allergies Are Impacting You
Why Are Arizona's Allergies So Intense?
According to recent studies, Arizona residents may feel the impact of allergies more intensely than in other states due to a variety of factors:
Year-round Allergens: The warm desert climate allows for allergens to linger throughout the year, with peak intensity occurring in the spring.
Pollen Explosion: Non-native plants like mulberry and olive trees, which were introduced to Arizona, are now contributing to a year-round pollen problem.
Climate Conditions: The dry, arid environment and frequent windstorms create the perfect conditions for pollen and allergens to stay airborne longer, making it harder to escape the discomfort.
Dr. Loreena Ryder, a naturopathic physician with Naturopathic Physicians Group, explains how these factors are making life difficult for allergy sufferers across the state. In the video above, she breaks down the science behind Arizona’s allergy trends and offers natural solutions that go beyond conventional treatments.
Symptoms of Allergies
Allergies affect everyone differently, but some of the most common symptoms we see at Naturopathic Physicians Group include:
Nasal congestion: Stuffy or runny nose
Eye irritation: Watery, itchy, or red eyes
Sinus pressure: Pain or pressure around the forehead and nose
Fatigue: Feeling tired or sluggish due to the body’s inflammatory response
Digestive problems: Some patients even experience symptoms like bloating, gas, or stomach discomfort when allergens trigger their immune system.
While over-the-counter medications might provide temporary relief, they often don’t address the root cause of these symptoms.
Our Naturopathic Approach to Allergy Relief
At Naturopathic Physicians Group, we understand that allergies don’t just impact your sinuses—they can affect your overall well-being. That’s why we take a holistic approach to allergy treatment. Here’s how we help you find lasting relief:
Comprehensive Health Assessment: We start by looking at your entire health picture—your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, and environment. This allows us to identify the underlying triggers of your allergies.
Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on your unique needs, we develop a customized plan that may include:
Natural antihistamines and anti-inflammatory supplements
Dietary guidance to support your immune system
IV Nutrient Therapy to quickly reduce inflammation and improve immune response
Lifestyle modifications to help you reduce exposure to allergens

How IV Nutrient Therapy Can Help
For many patients, one of the most effective ways to treat allergies is through IV Nutrient Therapy. By delivering powerful nutrients like Vitamin C directly into your bloodstream, IV therapy can help your body fight off inflammation, restore balance, and strengthen your immune system. This is especially helpful for those suffering from chronic allergies or those looking for faster relief.
