Has anybody tried natural products or natural remedies?

for there child's allergies (nasal). Did they work? If so what were they. My 5 year old daughter has allergies and she's been taking zyrtec. I've read some bad stuff about coming off of it and the side effects of it. I've decided to take her off of it because I've seen some of the side effects in her. My doctor prescribed Flonase, I researched it and I don't want to give her that either. How can she get relief from her allergies without all the side effects?

    I'd start with a hoemeopath, I don't have allergies myself, but have been treated for other things and it did help me. I know people poo-poo the idea, but just because we can't explain something doesn't mean it doesn't work

    Sometimes practitioners of alternative / complementary / natural medicine can help, when orthodox doctors can't. Such people have helped me tremendously. The problem is that one can spend quite a bit of money before finding the right sort of treatment. Make sure anyone you consult is qualified, and belongs to the appropriate professional association.

    Homeopathy can often help with allergies; or you can experiment with finding out what she's allergic to, and avoiding those substances. Pet hairs? Certain foods? It can take ages to sort out these problems, but it's worth it for the sake of your daughter's health.

    i actually use both these products for my severa allergies and love them, natural products are out there.

    Normal Saline drops in your daughters nose 5-6 times a day will help relieve allergies, also there are many herbal remedies out there.

    my children do not have allergies but I would go natural first if I did, here is a pretty good website
