Honey: Some natural therapists might recommend regular use of honey made from local bees to gently expose intestinal immune system to these antigens as a type of immunotherapy. Omega oils in fish, flax, & other foods can counteract inflammatory effects potentiated by saturated fats in our foods. Avoid damaged (fried and cooked) fats, which enhance inflammatory processes in the body. No sodas!

Immunotherapy: The most natural and long term treatment of nasal allergies is allergen immunotherapy under the guidance of a board certified allergist. It provides your child with long term relief and decreases his dependence on medications.
