Use a Neti Pot
Neti pots look super exotic, but are fast becoming a simple way to relieve allergy symptoms and remove the nasal cavities. The pot is easy to use and uses a saline solution to wash out the mucus from your nasal cavities. You do need to make sure that you do not use tap water in the neti pot however, as it can be dangerous.
Use Saline Spray
There are many saline sprays on the market today that can help to relieve the pressure and stuffiness of spring allergies. The saline spray works much as the Neti pot does, but you can take it with you and use it anywhere. Many allergy sufferers find it easier to use saline spray.
Eat Local Honey

Taking a Hot Shower
