If you are a chronic allergy sufferer doctor’s visits and treatments can get pretty expensive. There are a lot of things you can do to treat allergies naturally. There are several well known home remedies that are fairly effective when it comes to allergies.  Here are some tips for treating your allergies naturally.

The Neti Pot

The neti pot originated in India and has now spread to the West. There are a lot of variations in style when it comes to the neti pot but generally it resembles a small tea pot with a long thin spout. The neti pot is used to clean out the sinuses and is effective in treating many different types of allergies.

You fill the pot with a saline solution that is made of 1 part sea salt and several parts distilled water. The concoction should be lukewarm. You then pour it in through one nostril and let it flow gently out the other.

When used occasionally the neti pot is very effective.  It is completely chemical free which makes it a popular solution to allergy and cold treatment. Though some studies indicate that overuse may lead to more sinus infections, general occasional use seems to be very effective treatment against sinusitis and allergy infections.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture, which is the ancient Chinese practice of sticking needles in pressure points on the body, has been shown to be an effective natural treatment for allergy sufferers.  Studies have shown an overwhelming degree of effectiveness when patients suffering with hayfever were treated with traditional acupuncture.

Acupuncture is becoming more and more popular Western civilization. You will find acupuncture shops in nearly every city. Though it may seem a little strange and even painful to someone who has never partaken in it, acupuncture has proven to be a very effective treatment for a number of ailments. It is definitely something to consider for chronic allergy sufferers.

Saline Spray

Saline spray is readily available in most grocery stores and drug stores. It is a 100% natural way of treating nasal infections.  This is pretty much the same solution as you would put in your neti pot, but it is already mixed up and comes in a plastic nasal spray container.  This is a popular method of treating allergy infections in pregnant women.  The saline works by cleaning out the sinus cavity and thinning mucous levels.

Prevention

One of the best natural treatments for allergies is prevention. Though some allergies simply can’t be prevented, knowing what causes your allergies to act up can help prevent many flare ups.  An ENT doctor can perform a comprehensive allergy test from a blood sample.  These tests are often covered by insurance and they help to pinpoint exactly what causes your allergies.  After you know what causes your allergy flare ups it will be much easier to avoid these elements.

Even if you are not sure what causes your allergies you can cut down on many bouts of hay fever by doing some simple steps around the house. For one, keep your home well dusted. For another you should invest in a good air purifier.  These two things alone will cut down tremendously on the effect of seasonal allergies for many.

Another way to effectively prevent allergies naturally is to wear a mask when doing yard work. This can help to significantly decrease the amount of pollen that you breathe in and prevent corresponding allergic reactions.
