LIFESTYLE NEWS - Allergies are a health nightmare which many people struggle with. 

With symptoms such as congested sinuses, headaches, watery or itchy eyes, the need for some relief can never be ignored. 

The good news is that there are a number of natural allergy relief remedies available. 

Here are some of them:

Garlic
Garlic is a natural antibiotic that helps ward off infections, viruses and even allergies. Raw garlic eaten every day will fight off all types of allergies because it boosts your immune system immensely. Eating or juicing two raw cloves of this powerful antioxidant may literally keep the doctor away.

Apple cider vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is an age-old remedy for allergies. It has the ability to reduce mucous production and cleanse the lymphatic system which makes it useful for allergies.

Lemons
Lemons and limes are excellent immune-boosting fruits and are used for various afflictions, including allergies. Both of these little fruits are loaded with vitamin C and immune-boosting antioxidants. Drinking lemon water throughout the day detoxifies the body and rids it of impurities. You can also mix the juice of one or two lemons or limes with olive oil to make a wonderful tasting dressing for salads and veggie sandwiches.


Bone broth
Bone broth made from beef and chicken stock is rich in many minerals and amino acids. Eating this regularly will strengthen the immune system and deal with constant allergies.

Almond butter and seeds
For people allergic to peanuts and peanut butter, almond butter is a safe and healthy alternative that provides healthy unsaturated fatty acids, fibre, minerals like riboflavin and magnesium, and even some antioxidants.

Raw honey
Taking a tablespoon of local, raw honey every day will help your body build a tolerance to the local pollen that is ravaging your sinuses.

The recommended allergy remedies above will provide much-needed relief.
