What are some allergy herbs that have been traditionally used? Allergy sufferers experience annoying symptoms such as itchy water eyes, runny nose, sneezing, coughing and sinus problems. Many herbs have been traditionally used to reduce the symptoms. Below are some of the commonly used natural remedies that can be helpful in reducing allergy symptoms. 
Stinging Nettle This

have antihistamine-like benefits. Histamine is a chemical the body
produces in response to an allergy and it is the cause of all the
symptoms of allergy. A suitable dosage to use is 500 mg once daily. Butterbur This
herb has anti-inflammatory benefits and is helpful in blocking the
production of histamines and other chemical substances produced by the
body that can trigger the allergic reactions. A suitable dose to use would be 50 mg of a standardized extract twice daily. Astralagus Astralagus
is helpful in people suffering from asthma and can be useful for those
with allergies. It has been used traditionally to treat immune system
disorders and is rich in antioxidants. It also shows anti-inflammatory benefits. A suggested dose is 500 to 1,000 mg of the root taken three times daily. Quercetin This
is a flavonoid that is found in plants, red wine, onions, green tea,
berries and some vegetables. It is a potent antioxidant and shows
antihistamine effects. Its anti-inflammatory effects can also be useful
to reducing itching and skin rash. A suggested dose is 100 to 500 mg two or three times daily.
