Natural defense against hay fever?

My son was allergic to almost everything. He'd get 'hay fever' ALL the time except dead of winter when it snowed.
I read somewhere about raw honey being a natural cure so I tried it for him. Within 3 weeks of having a teaspoon of raw local honey in his morning hot cereal, he had NO symptoms at all. NO runny nose, no sneezing, no stuffiness, no headaches, no swollen eyes. Nothing.
I've told alot people about his recovery and the ones who've tried it, and kept in touch with me, also had 100% success.
It has to be your local area honey (for obvious reasons), and it has to be raw,(non pasturized) and when we went on vacation, I'd get their honey for him also.

It's not possible to completely avoid allergens, but you can reduce your signs and symptoms by minimizing your exposure to them.

To reduce exposure to pollen or molds:
Close doors and windows during pollen season
Use air conditioning in your house and car
Stay indoors on dry, windy days
Use a dehumidifier to reduce indoor humidity
Use a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter in your bedroom
Avoid mowing the lawn or raking leaves, which stirs up pollen and molds
To reduce exposure to dust mites:
Use allergy-proof covers on mattresses, box springs and pillows
Wash sheets and blankets in water heated to at least 130 degrees Fahrenheit
Use a dehumidifier to reduce indoor humidity
Vacuum carpets weekly with a vacuum cleaner equipped with a small-particle or HEPA filter
Consider removing carpeting, especially where you sleep, if you're highly sensitive to dust mites

To reduce exposure to cockroaches:
Block cracks and crevices where roaches can enter
Fix leaky faucets and pipes
Wash dishes and empty garbage daily
Sweep food crumbs from counters and floors
Store food, including pet food, in sealed containers
Consider professional pest extermination

To reduce exposure to pet dander:
Remove pets from the house
Bathe pets weekly
Keep your pet out of the bedroom

Your body's immune system interprets the allergen (pollen, mold, dander, etc.) as an "invader" and responds by releasing a chemical called histamine into the bloodstream.

Histamine causes inflammation (swelling and redness) of the sinuses, nose, and mucus membranes of the eyes and triggers sneezing. The swelling reaction is designed to block the allergen from entering the body and sneezing is a method to expel it out of the body. Histamine also allows fluids to enter the nasal tissue, resulting in congestion, itching and a runny nose.

People with allergic rhinitis have sudden sneezing, a watery nasal discharge, puffy eyes and fatigue. Symptoms can occur at all stages of life, but most people develop these allergic rhinitis before reaching 30 years of age.
While the pollen seasons for particular plants are very consistent within each geographical region, the weather plays a large role in determining how heavy the pollen count (and other potential allergens including mold) will be, both seasonally and daily. The severity of your allergic reaction will generally mirror the rise and fall of the specific allergen count to which you are allergic.

I recently came across a website that addresses natural remedies for various health conditions. The website is www.mitamins.com. I just ordered a supplement for allergies. I am anxious to try it out when it comes.

yes. OPC-3 is a natural antihystmine. I used to take shots every week for my hay fever when I started taking isotonic OPC-3 it went away. It is 100% guarenteed!
