Nettle tea can be used as an effective home remedy for seasonal allergies, as it has the anti-histamine properties. It controls the production of histamine in our body and makes it less effective, thereby reducing the intensity of seasonal allergies.
Antihistamines have been used for years to treat allergy symptoms. They can be taken as pills, liquid, nasal spray, or eye drops. Over-the-counter (OTC) antihistamine eye drops can relieve red itchy eyes, while nasal sprays can be used to treat the symptoms of seasonal or year-round allergies.
