There are three most important things that you need to consider when you opt for natural allergy remedies. It is important to know the risk involved along with the interactions. It is true that these are reasonably safe options but it is better to contact the doctor before taking any supplement especially if you have any other medical condition, age under 18, using medicines or pregnant/lactating. These natural remedies are best for long term use but take opinions from your doctor before trying any one of them. Don’t use any unknown plant extracts of some distantly related species as you have read it somewhere. Cross-check all the details before jumping on any conclusion. In doing this, you may harm yourself with some other health issues. Plants of same families or genera might not be identical to cure one particular allergy.
