Butterbur

Butterbur is derived from a weed common in Europe. It's now getting attention this side of the Atlantic as an extract.

A Swiss study published in the British Journal of Medicine found that four small doses of butterbur daily was as effective without side-effects as the drug cetirizine, used by pharmaceutical allergy medicines such as Zyrtec.

You may wish to investigate homeopathic or essential oil remedies specifically for the allergies common to your area at local herbal shops and health food stores.
