Herbal Remedies for Hay Fever

Hay fever is a collection of symptoms brought on by an allergic reaction to airborne pollens. Hay fever is difficult to treat with either natural remedies or drug therapy, but a combination of methods can bring significant symptomatic relief.

Herbalists often recommend immune modulators that might help reduce reactivity of the immune response to pollen and other allergens, anti-inflammatories and antihistamines, herbs to dry and shrink the mucous membranes, blood purifiers, and liver cooling herbs.
