Allergy sufferers?

From what I've read, most natural allergy treatments work best when started and taken consistently 3-6 weeks before symptoms start. I never remember to research anything until I'm suffering, so I'm hoping to pick up something this weekend.

Besides a neti pot/saline rinse, has anyone taken any supplements? I've heard the most about stinging nettle and quercetin.

Re: Allergy sufferers?

  • Right now I do the saline nasal spray but I've heard good things about the Quercetin from others who take it (actually, I couldn't remember what it was called, so thanks) so that is the next thing I want to try.  I'm interested in what everyone has to say.

  • Local honey has helped with my seasonal allergies and i may try bee pollen in the future.  I have heard of stinging nettle supplements for this, but have never used them.

    ditto the local honey. i also do the neti pot as well as saline rinse...not everyday, but whenever i think about it. 

    i also recently started drinking ACV mixed with water or apple juice (about 2 tablesoons of the ACV)  for my asthma and i swear it's helped my allergies, too!
