I have terrible allergies (itchy nose, sneezing, congestion). Are there any natural ways to battle this?

We've all but eliminated carpet in our house, and I know going with laminate floors has substantially cut down the dust and pet dander. (Yes, we have cats - but I won't give them up even if my nose itches off my face....) Benadryl helps but makes me so sleepy. Prescription medicines usually cause me other bad side effects - I would rather stick with the allergy. Ultimately I'm wondering if there's anything I can do naturally to help alleviate this curse: Dietary adjustments? More vitamins (Vitamin C helps a cold - does it help a stuffy nose due to allergies?) Switching to a certain type of vacuum cleaner or air purifier? It's been unseasonably warm, so alot of the junk (goldenrod, pollen) is still here that would normally have died out by now....this has been the most miserable year for allergy symptoms that I can recall. Apart from moving to Siberia, is there anything I can do that won't cause bad side effects but will help me become more resistant to allergens?

1. get allergy covers for your bedding,wash weekly.use a/c all the time in the warm weather if u can.get a netty pot(nettle pot)and rinse out your sinus cavity.directions are with it
2. My coworker swears by Chinese accupunture/accupressure to ease his allergy and sinus congestion. Try something new!
