What are some home remedies for allergic rhinitis?
Most of the members of my family have allergic rhinitis or sinusitis. My mother, husband and eldest daughter keep on sneezing usually early in the morning especially if it is very cold. My eldest daughter complains every morning and early evening that she can hardly smell. Her doctor prescribed claritin for this but I have second thoughts in giving this to her. I prefer to try natural home remedies. Are there any effective home remedies for allergic rhinitis?

Home remedies for allergic rhinitis (Hay fever) include one or more of these treatments;
*Carotenoids: Eat foods that contain Carotenoids.Examples of such foods are apricots, carrots, pumpkin, sweet potato, spinach, kale, butternut squash, and collard greens.
*Omega-3 Fatty Acids : Omega-3 fatty acids are a kind of essential fatty acid that is gotten through a good diet. Adequate amount of Omega-3 fatty acids in a person’s diet will help relieve some of the symptoms of the allergy. Examples foods containing Omega-3 fatty acids are Flaxseed oil: 1 tablespoon two to three times a day, Walnuts, 1 ounce a day and cod liver oil
*Antihistamine: You can get this from adequate consumption of fruits containing vitamin.

1. Cut out caffeine, refined sugar and if you can manage, dairy products from your diet for one month.
2. Some hay fever sufferers have also benefited from cutting back on wheat products.
3. Step up your intake of calcium rich foods such as dark green leafy vegetables, live organic yoghurt and soy milk.
4. Add extra garlic to your food or take a daily garlic capsule.
5. Vitamin C has antihistamine properties, so increase your intake to at least 500-1000mg per day.
6. Eating one teaspoonful of honey a day, before the hay fever season starts, is effective in reducing those unpleasant symptoms.
