Vitamins and supplements can help boost your immune system and hence, help to reduce your various allergy symptoms such as sneezing, a running nose, coughing, and watery eyes.  Here is a list of some of them:
  
- Vitamin C.  Vitamin C is a known natural remedy for allergy.  It can act as a mild antihistamine, hence reducing your allergy symptoms when you come into contact with a particular allergen.  Do note that Vitamin C is excreted from the body after four to six hours. Hence, it is generally recommended that you consume two to ten thousand milligrams of this vitamin in equal doses throughout your day to help keep that antihistamine property.  

- Vitamin E.  Vitamin E is known as an antioxidant that can help boost and increase the effect of your immune system.  It has been found very effective in studies in decreasing the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, which an inflammatory response in the nose, eyes, and throat that is caused by allergen exposure.

- Beta-carotene.  This vitamin works to boost the immune system, which can help you to naturally fight off the histamine or allergy response to specific allergens.  Some foods naturally contain beta-carotene, including deep orange vegetables and fruits like papaya or cantaloupe.  Consider increasing your consumption of these foods or you can choose to take a beta-carotene supplement.

- Vitamin B Complex.  Studies have found that taking Vitamin B Complex can help to reduce your allergy symptoms by half.  This is a significant finding, because it can move most allergy symptoms down into a more manageable range that is easier to deal with.  Some patients saw their symptoms decrease to almost nothing, which gave them the opportunity to live a normal life for the first time.

- Magnesium.  Magnesium has been found to help make breathing easier.  It helps in decreasing the constriction response in the lungs.  If this has been one of your allergy symptoms, then magnesium could be an excellent choice for your allergy regimen.

Using a natural should be considered if you do not want to rely on over the counter medications or prescription medications excessively.  They offer great relief without the adverse side effects that medications can potentially bring. Here are some natural sinusitis treatments that have reportedly helped others in obtaining relief:

- Hot liquids.  Drinking hot liquids can help to keep the cilia (tiny hairs) inside of your nose moist, so that they can wash the mucous out of your nose more quickly.  Excellent ideas for hot liquids include chicken soup and herbal teas.  Stay away from choosing coffee, however.

- Irrigation.  Since ancient times, people have irrigated their sinuses with saltwater to help reduce their sinus symptoms.  You can find many saltwater nasal sprays already mixed at the store or you can make your own. A reduction in the inflammation of your nasal cavities makes it easier for you to breathe.

- Aromatherapy.  Breathing in steam made from water combined with different herbs can help to reduce the symptoms of sinusitis as well.  Some of the herbs that may be used include eucalyptus or menthol oil.  All you have to do is to drop a few drops into hot water and then breathe the vapors in.  Horseradish or Japanese wasabi mustard can also be used.  By ingesting them, you will get the vapors inside of your body to help make your breathing easier. 

- Elevate.  By raising up the head of your bed or your pillows, you can help the mucus drain downward.  This helps prevent congestion to your nose and head while you sleep.  This tip alone can help you sleep much better

- Rest.  Rest is a necessity if your body is not working as it should.  By spending the weekend in bed relaxing, you can help to make your symptoms decrease.  Rest naturally gives the body a chance to heal and gain strength.

A natural can help you reduce your various runny nose symptoms in a relatively safe manner. It should be used first before hitting your medicine cabinet every time you have a sinus allergy going on.
