Here's what you do:
Boil 2 cups of water Add 2 tbsp. of raw Apple Cider Vinegar Add 1/8 tsp. of baking soda Add a bit of Organic cayenne pepper (about 5 shakes or so)
Drink in an empty stomach first thing in the morning. That would make me COMPLETELY allergy-free for the ENTIRE day. Nothing ever even came close to providing the relief that this gave me. It might take you a while to get used to the taste, and maybe you should use less cayenne pepper at first if you're not used to really spicy stuff.
But yeah, give this a shot. At most the ingredients will run you $10 and will last for a LONG time.
That's an awesome recipe. I might add some local honey and dried stinging nettle to that as well. Do you make it and store it, or make it fresh daily?
I was unfamiliar with the health benefits of raw apple cider vinegar. I'll defly have to get me some. I like spicy, so the cayenne is fine w/ me. Talk about a morning jolt to get the day going.

make it daily. It's gotta be hot for best results. Also, gargling with this drink will soothe a sore throat and can even kill strep throat (it's the cayenne that does it) Read up on cayenne pepper, stuff is amazing.

I read up on cayenne which is extremely impressive. Many consider it the most medicinal herb in existence. I really enjoy natural medicine, and appreciate the info.
I tried out the recipe with just a little honey added. Wow, that stuff is crazy. I started sweating just drinking it down, and immediately after I was hacking out newly loosened flem. I got through about a little more than a cup of it. Do you drink the full 2 cups?
What a jolt, and I feel better already. I enjoyed the taste, and it sounds like it would be wonderful for cold mornings. Killer remedy
I also purchased a neti and some salt to clean out my nasal passages twice a day. We are going to look into getting a good air purifier too. Shroomery delivers

Any recommendations on brands? I know they vary drastically in price and quality.

DRINK MILK!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know why you're avoiding dairy, but if you have allergies milk is a LIFE SAVER! I am allergic to everything you are. Very severely allergic. I live with two cats and any time I have an attack from them I drink milk. Something about it coats the throat and the sinuses, it's got some sort of anti-inflammatory affect.
I avoid all claritin and all that crap, I really can't tolerate it. If the pollen's really bad I use nasalcrom. It's an over the counter nasal spray that works just as well as prescription. Stay away from afrin, that shit makes everything worse.

I had to clean out our cat den this morning at work. Freakin sucks. But if you use walitin-d which is behind the counter at walgreens the stuff really works well. It gave me a buzz but it worked for cloggy sinuses for my fall time ragweed allergies.
Looks like a nice recipe I will bookmark. Try using this chinese acupuncture to help relieve messed up sinuses. For me it didn't work all that great but I didn't give a good go at it. It's just so easier consuming. But you might want to keep this page like an ace up your sleeve in the battle against allergies cuz what else u gotta do other then bear that shit....

This year i had the strongest allergy attacks of my life...
runny/stuffy nose, coughing like an asthmatic with yellow stuff comin out of my throat, and itchy nose and body.
I tried some of the chemicals you people mentioned, but the negative effects where annoying.
Only one herb was able to relax me from allergy attacks
Chamomile

A Neti Pot and a Hepa-filter is a good start
