I wake up every morning sneezing like crazy. I sneeze all throughout the day and go through boxes and boxes of tissues blowing my nose all day and night. I had my allergies checked by a doctor but he said that everything he tested me for came back negative so I have to go get a second opinion. In the mean time, I don't like to take medications, so I am in search of an herbal remedy. I am going to a health food store tomorrow and need to know what to buy. Thanks in advance for your help and advice. :)

You could try an herbal blend of fenugreek and thyme (I can usually buy this even in our grocery store). Some people have had good results with it relieving nasal congestion from allergies. Another way to relieve congestion is with mint tea such as Traditional Medicinals Gypsy Cold Care. If you are going to the health food store tomorrow anyway you might also get a good acidophilus supplement like PB8. I hope you feel better soon!

Read the cayenne pepper website as well as the water cure site. Apple cider vinegar is also good. I used to have horrible allergies 3 years ago until I started drinking water. I drink 2-3 gallons per day. You would probably do well with 6-8 glasses per day. I know how horrible you must feel, but I am so happy that I found my cure. Hope you do too.

Nettle is supposed to be helpful. You can buy Nettle Leaf tea. I purchased some last year, but haven't had the chance to try it during allergy season yet.
Better yet, purchase LOCAL honey. Not only can eating honey from other areas cause allergies to form, but eating honey from your local area can prevent allergies.
