Best all natural allergy medicine is to straight up move to another environment / climate.

It’s baked into us where our bodies are supposed to be, for example particular grasses and trees are only found in particular states or regions.

So for someone with asthma, and all the allergies, the mountains could prove just the ticket!

Who knows maybe the Cold crisp air resets the lungs or something but altitude and environment definitely important variables to experiment with.
