Many believe allergy can be best treated at home and this belief has some concrete evidences to prove itself too.

Following are some of the popular and effective home remedies for allergy.

Castor Oil:

An Indian physician named Dr. Hemant Pathak discovered an effective home remedy for allergy. He found that five drops of castor oil in half a cup of any fruit or vegetable juice, or plain water, and taken on an empty stomach in the morning, is beneficial for allergies of the intestinal track, nasal passages, and skin.

Bananas:

For those who are allergic to certain foods and consequently suffer from asthma, digestive disorders, or skin rashes, one or two banana(s) a day are a proven home remedy for allergy. Some certain sensitive individuals, however, are allergic to some fruits which may or may not include bananas. This home remedy should not be followed by all such individuals.
