Allergies - Is there a holistic or home remedy I can use to reduce my allergy symptoms before my medicine kicks in?

Is there a holistic or home remedy I can use to reduce my allergy symptoms before my medicine kicks in?

When I have an allergy attack I take an anti-histamine, but that takes 30 minutes to kick in. Is there a way to make this 30 minutes more bearable?

since allergy attack effects mostly your nose, try to moisten it and wash out allergens.

either buy a serum-spray or do this:
boil 1 1/2 cup of water, add 1 teaspoon salt and half sugar. let it cool off and insert into your noise with a pippette or a small plastic spray bottle.

i always have small spray bottles in my bag available.

not good idea to mix anything with your meds.

For some people, 1000 mg. of vitamin C really helps.
