Hi to all!<br />
<br />
With pollen being at an all time high at the moment, does anyone have suggestions for children with pollen allergies? I have the kids increase their vit c intake and they do take a homepathic called BioAllers for Tree Pollen (and stay away from sugars and dairy), but I am considering using stinging nettle. Has anyone used stinging nettle for allergies? I would love to hear any other suggestions. :D
