I have severe allergies (think anaphylactic to the allergy test) and nothing has helped. Worse: my insurance HATES my high-needs prescriptions and fights me every time I get something filled. I started looking for holistic meds to help, along with what prescriptions I managed to force them to fill, and found that a few things really help. And some things do not. I won’t list the things I’ve tried and found no help from, but I will list what has been incredibly helpful for me. You’re welcome to search the promising studies on the list of what I’ve found helpful, and as always, consult your doctor, but here is what I take: Nettle: allergies and asthma Bromelian: asthma Pine Bark: Asthma/Allergies/ADHD Texas allergy drops Riboflavin: migraine (prescribed by my neurologist) Magnesium: All The Things (prescribed for migraine though) Lithium (5 mg): Depression/anxiety (this will make me sleepy, though, aid I take it daily—so I often take it every other day instead of every day) B-complex: energy, brain fog, focus and attention, physical energy (this is a morning med or I’ll be up all night) I also take Flonase and Zyrtec nightly, though sometimes the Zyrtec isn’t enough. Thus the supplements. I’ve tampered with these over time, and finally found these to be the MOST worthy of my efforts to find stuff that works. I’m probably most impressed with the stinging nettle, and initially noticed that the tea helped when I had a cold that settled in my lungs. I’m really impressed with how much less I struggle with a runny nose and asthma!
