Allergies treatment using Lime
Lime is considered an effective remedy for any kind of allergy. Half a lime may be
squeezed in a glass of lukewarm water and sweetened with a teaspoon of honey.
It can be taken once daily first thing in the morning for several months. This
remedy not only flushes the system of toxins but also acts as an antitoxic and
antiallergic agent. However, those who are allergic to citrus fruits should not take
recourse to this remedy.

One or two bananas a day are useful for those who are allergic to certain foods

The fruit does, however, cause allergic reactions in certain sensitive persons and
they should avoid it.
Allergies treatment using Vegetable Juices
A quantity of 500 ml carrot juice or a combination of carrot juice with beet and
cucumber juices, has been found beneficial in the treatment of allergies. In the
case of mixed juices, 100 ml each of beet and cucumber juices should be mixed
with 300 ml of carrot juice to prepare 500 ml or half a litre of mixed juice. This
should be taken once daily.
