What are some things I can do to help my allergies without getting prescription medicine? I have a sore throat and tightness in my ears too, could that be due to allergies also? And if so, what can I do to help them?

YOGA
Studies have shown that yoga reduces allergic reactions, improves your respiratory system’s stamina, and drains mucus from your lungs. Here is a simple yoga exercise: sitting on the floor with your legs in front of you, raise your arms above your head, stretch toward the ceiling and inhale. Now bend forward and exhale, reaching for your toes while keeping your back straight. Gently hold this position for a few moments, then release. Repeat three times.

Over the counter Claritin and Flonase will help the allergies.
Unpasteurized (raw) honey from within 15 or 20 miles of your house can also help. Eat a teaspoon a day. Local health food stores usually carry local honey, or farmer's markets.

there are various homeopathic and herbal remedies at the health food store. Allergies change from year to year (according to my doctor) and what works one year, might not work the next.
I have used Quercitin for a few months before allergy season. (It needs to build up in the body.) That has been helpful also. Plan for next year...

My Grandfather swore by eating raw honey from the area you live in. It kind of makes sense if you think you may be getting small doses of local pollen.
