Complementary approaches to allergies have a moderate evidence base. Probiotics have systematic review support for allergic rhinitis and atopic conditions. Acupuncture has moderate evidence for seasonal allergic rhinitis (Cochrane-reviewed). Butterbur extract has RCT evidence comparable to antihistamines. Nutritional approaches addressing gut barrier function and immune regulation are widely practised with emerging evidence. All complementary approaches are adjunctive to allergen avoidance and medical management.
