Life has enough challenges without having to deal with the annoyance of suffering from allergies.

With that said, having an allergy is not something anyone has much control over. If you’re predisposed to getting an adverse reaction from something, then unfortunately that’s just bad luck.

However, there are a few natural tricks you can use to help manage and prevent allergic reactions.

And as luck would have it, we’ve compiled a list of our 3 favourites for you to rustle up at home.
