*Nettle is a good herb for allergies. Use as herbal tea with nettle or it can be taken in capsules.
*Angelica is an herbal antihistamine and is good to use in teas and capsules.
*Licorice root is an antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial. It is an excellent addition to any tea.
*Eat foods rich in sulfur.
Nettle Tea Recipe

Boil water over stove (do not microwave). After water comes to a rapid boil, remove from heat and add nettles. Let sit, covered for 15 minutes.

Nettles can be purchased at your local health food store or from Mountain Rose Herbs online.
