There are a ton of OTC remedies available for your allergies, whether they are pollen-related like hay-fever, diet-related like wheat/lactose-intolerance or other environmental allergies. But there are so many side effects with these OTC drugs that you can often find yourself suffering more from the side effects than the allergy itself, or even taking more medication to combat the side effects! What we need to look at are homeopathic remedies for allergies, where side effects are uncommon, and remedies are readily available in your local mall. Homeopathic remedies occur naturally and have been used for centuries to great effect, as opposed to some drug that has just gained FDA approval. Think about it, would you rather be popping pills to cope with your allergy, or using homeopathic remedies for allergies in the form of a tea or oil?
