Home Remedies for Allergies

In addition to medical treatments, certain home remedies may help improve the symptoms of an allergic reaction. These include:

– Rinse out your sinuses with a solution of water and salt to treat hay fever or sinus congestion. You can also use a neti pot instead.

– Lower moisture levels in damp areas in your house, such as kitchen and bathroom, with dehumidifiers and ventilation fans.

– Fix leaks outside and inside your house

– Wash stuffed toys and bedding frequently to reduce the risk of being exposed to pet dander or dust mites

– Use hard floors instead of carpets

– Use a vacuum with a good filter [7]
