Many people suffer from allergies in one form or another. It may be something in the food you eat or the air you breath. Your problem may be constant or it could be seasonal. Many people take medication or get allergy shots, but there are herbal remedies for allergies that can help you beat the symptoms without medicines that may have nasty side effects or painful allergy shots.

An allergy is the immune system responding abnormally to a particular substance like an animal or food. The basically body treats a normal substance the same way it would a harmful germ by producing a lot of histamine which is what responds to immune system attacks.

Herbal remedies for allergies attack the problem in a couple ways. You can use remedies that boost your immune system so that allergens aren’t attacked by your immune system. Or you can use remedies that reduce the symptoms of your allergy attack after it happens.

Honey is one of the most common herbal or homeopathic remedies for allergies. You want local honey so it helps you deal with any of the allergens that are in the air where you live.

Bitter orange is an ayurvedic remedy for respiratory allergies and asthma. This medicinal philosophy from India also recommends cleansing and detoxification to help prevent allergy attacks. There are many more Ayurveda Remedies that can help you.

Other common herbal remedies for allergies include the natrual antiboitic echinacea that is supposed to boost your immune system and herbal drinks with ginsing powder in them which should reduce the chances of having an allergy attack.
