As the calendar turns to June, many people in North America look forward to sunshine, open windows, and time outside. But for some, these beautiful early summer days come with an unexpected burden: seasonal allergies that just won’t go away.
You might think allergies are mainly a spring thing. After all, March and April are when tree pollen is at its peak, and it’s common to see a wave of sneezing, itchy eyes, and congestion.
But in early summer, another type of allergen takes over.
Why You Might Still Be Struggling with Allergies in June
By late May and June, grass pollen becomes the main culprit in much of the US, especially in the Northeast, Midwest, and Pacific Northwest. In many areas, grass pollen levels can remain high until July. Even if you’re not sneezing constantly, you may experience:
Brain fog or poor focus
General fatigue or low energy
Irritability, mood swings, or feeling “off”
Some people feel as if they’re “in a haze” or not fully clear, even though they don’t have severe allergy symptoms. This subtle fogginess is often overlooked—but it’s real.
What’s going on?
The Science Behind Allergies, Stress & Energy
When you’re exposed to allergens like pollen, your body releases histamines, which trigger inflammation. At the same time, if you’re under stress (even low-level daily stress), your nervous system stays activated, which can weaken immune regulation and make symptoms worse.
This stress-allergy connection is supported by research. A 2013 study from Ohio State University found that people with higher stress levels had more frequent allergy flare-ups, suggesting that emotional stress may worsen physical symptoms.¹
Reiki can help by calming the nervous system and improving overall energy flow. When your system is in balance, you’re better equipped to respond to external triggers like pollen—not overreact to them.
How Remote Reiki Can Help During Allergy Season
Remote Reiki may not “cure” your allergies, but it can support your inner environment—your energy field, emotional state, and stress response.
Here’s how clients often describe the effects of Reiki during allergy season:
Clearing the fog: A session can help lift mental heaviness and improve clarity.
Calming the system: Reiki supports relaxation, helping your body shift out of “fight or flight.”
Restoring vitality: As energy flows more freely, many feel refreshed and more themselves again.
Whether you’re dealing with full allergy symptoms or just feeling off and drained, Reiki offers a gentle and natural way to feel more balanced—without adding more medication or stimulation.
Everyday Tips to Feel Better This Allergy Season
To support your body and energy system during this time, consider these simple lifestyle practices:
Protect and rinse: After being outside, wash your face, rinse your nose with saline, and change your clothes.
Nourish with anti-inflammatory foods: Try adding foods like turmeric, ginger, dark leafy greens, salmon, and green tea. These can help reduce inflammation and support your immune system naturally.
Stay well-hydrated & rested: Warm water, nettle tea, and plenty of rest help your system recover and flush out allergens more easily.
And of course, pairing these habits with regular Remote Reiki sessions can help you stay centered and clear—no matter what’s in the air.
You Don’t Have to Just Push Through
Allergy symptoms, even mild ones, can affect your mood, energy, and mental clarity. If you’ve been feeling out of sync lately, it may not be “just you.” Early summer allergens are very real—and your body may need extra support.
Remote Reiki is a gentle, flexible tool that can help you realign with your natural rhythm and feel clearer from within.
