Alternative treatments work by suppressing your immune system and hence will reduce the inflammation in your body caused by pollen and other allergies. People who persistently take these alternative treatments are prone to more infections as their immune system can become weak. Hence it would be important to avoid people with infections such as chicken pox and measles, where possible.
