      Rotate foods to pinpoint specific foods you might be allergic to.

      Drink green tea, eat buckwheat, kiwis or fish. These will open up a stuffy nose because they contain natural antihistamine.

      Green tea will block or shut down receptors that tell your body to react to allergens.
      Buckwheat is found in apples, onions, and citrus fruits. This will regulate your membranes to release histamine.

      Kiwis will keep your white blood cells from releasing histamine.
      Lean meats and fish will prevent your cells from releasing histamine.

      Exercise indoors.

      If pollen counts are high, stay inside.

      Use feather pillows. Fake or synthetic pillows are proven to contain allergens.

      Steam clean your carpets regularly to remove dust mites.

      Keep humidity in your home below 50%.

      Wash your bedding one time a week in hot water. Run your pillows in the dryer.
