10 Simple Home Remedies for Allergies

Rinsing your nose with a saline solution can work wonders for relieving symptoms of hay fever and other sinus problems. When done correctly, rinsing helps clean out pollen and other allergens that have gotten stuck in your nostrils and sinuses, while also helping to remove excess mucus. Making your own rinse solution is as simple as combining:

• 3/4 tsp (4 mL) iodide-free salt
• 1/4 tsp (1 mL) baking soda
• 1 cup (250 mL) lukewarm distilled or sterilized water
