Pinky asked:
I’m on 5 different allergy medicines, and allergy shots, but I still get sinus infections all the time, my eyelids swell, and I can barely breathe through my nose.
What are some natural vitamins or other substances I could take that would help relieve my allergy symptoms?

Allergies suck. I don’t know all the allergies you have, but I can guess dust and animals are probably your worst. Getting away from those things would be best if possible. If you have allergies to pollens try a honey that is made within the area you live in. If you get a sinus infection do a nasal cleansing (it’s salt water) this will help get rid of the affection without meds. I wish I could be of more help, but not knowing what allergies you have this is all I can offer.

Quercetin, vitamin C, nettle leaf tea, freshly ground with a pestle and mortar blackseeds [Nigella sativa], lemon balm, licorice extract, and garlic.
Quercetin, vitamin C and nettle leaf all have some anti-histamine [anti-allergy] properties. Blackseeds help support the Immune System in general. Lemon balm is anti-viral and licorice is anti-inflammatory and supports the immune system in general. Garlic is anti-viral and antibacterial and helps clear mucuous.
If you drink nettle leaf tea, save the tea bags [don't wring them dry] and lie down with the cooled moist tea bags on your eyes when they feel inflamed. You could alternatively try this with chamomile tea bags.
You could also try raw unpasteurised local honey if you can find a reputable supplier.
Eat foods rich in antioxidants such as dark skinned fruits and berries….pomegranates are great this time of year.
Don’t take licorice extract if you have High Blood pressure.
Mention anything else you want to take to a pharmacist to be usre there will be no -drug interactions.

Certain herbal and homeopathic remedies have been found to be beneficial in the treatment and prevention of allergies. These remedies are not only much safer to use than the traditional antihistamine drugs but also gentler for the body. Herbs such as Urtica urens and Plantago lanceolata (also known as plantain) contain effective anti-inflammatory and astringent properties and have a long history of treating inflammation, allergies and respiratory complaints.
Quercitin is a highly effective herb that contains antioxidants and helps to boost the Immune System and improve circulation while Euphrasia officinalis (Eyebright) maintains Eye Health and Good Vision. In addition, homeopathic ingredients such as Allium cepa and Ars. Iod helps to control allergy symptoms such as sneezing, wheezing chest, inflammation in the eyes and irritability.
