\nStock up on the powder form of this stingy little herb and mix it into fresh smoothies. In addition to reducing hay fever, it can also help with UTIs.<\/p>\n
\nYou’ve read about its antioxidants, nutrients, and fat-boosting properties, but did you know this powerful little beverage is also a natural antihistamine? Down a cuppa (or two) daily to strengthen your immunity.<\/p>\n
\nWhy “local?” Some studies suggest that by consuming honey produced by your neighborhood hive, you’ll inoculate your allergies against pollen. And even if the buzz isn’t true, honey is a proven cold remedy.<\/p>\n
\nFun to say, beneficial to drink: extracts from this marshy shrub (mainly consumed as tablets and tea) have been proven to decrease nasal allergy symptoms.<\/p>\n
