#8 – LOCAL HONEY can help your body learn that the local habitat isn’t a threat to your immune system.
#7 – SALINE NASAL SPRAYS flush your nasal passages and keep allergy symptoms at bay.
#6 – PROBIOTICS can balance the body’s immune system by introducing beneficial bacteria to your digestive tract.
