For Allergies:
Pharmaceuticals pack more of a punch, but if you want to go the natural way, butterbur has the best track record among herbs used for pollen allergies (it’s also known as a headache remedy), as stated by David Rakel, MD, founder and director of the University of Wisconsin Integrative Medicine Program in an interview with WebMD. Some studies have also suggested that it can be as effective for nasal symptoms as an antihistamine, with no accompanying sleepiness (keep in mind that the safety of long-term use hasn’t been studied).
