Natural remedies for allergic rhinitis Allergic rhinitis is like a fire alarm that goes off at every speck of dust, every grain of pollen, every strand of cat hair. Instead of ignoring these harmless substances, the immune system treats them as dangerous invaders and launches a full-scale attack: stuffy nose, sneezing fits, red eyes, itching, and an exhaustion that makes you feel like a deflated balloon.
