Why it is Recommended

• Taking lime is supposed to flush toxins out of your system. This fruit can also “act as an antitoxic and antiallergic agent,” according to Home Remedies.
  
  

Mixture

• To help with allergies, squeeze one half a lime into a glass of room-temperature water. It is also recommended that a teaspoon of honey be added to the mixture. Honey is not necessary, but it does have its own added ability to help provide relief for symptoms.
  
  

Dosage

• There are different recommendations for how much lime should be taken to help with allergies. One recommended dosage is half a lime squeezed into warm water and a teaspoon of honey, taken every morning. Others say that up to a full lime in water can be taken every morning. Drinking water with lime every morning for 2 months can help those who suffer from allergies.
  
  

Fruit Juice Fast

• Those who suffer from allergies may consider doing a fruit juice fast. This helps to strengthen resilience to allergens. When beginning, it is recommended that you fast using fruit juices for 5 days. After this, fasts can continue for short periods to help build tolerance to allergens.
  
  

Warnings

• People who are allergic to citrus juices should not try to use lime to remedy their allergy symptoms. There are a number of other herbal and nonherbal remedies that can be used to help with allergy symptoms instead. Do proper research and contact a physician before trying to ease allergies using food if you suffer from food allergies.
  
  

Other Remedies

• Besides using food, there are ways to help allergy symptoms without using over-the-counter medications. One way to help relieve symptoms is to reduce stress. Other options include exercise, meditation and relaxation.
