Hello Roopashree,
I have a very sensitive nose and I am highly allergic to dust.
There is a lot of construction going on in our area so I am constantly sniffling and sneezing.
Can you please share natural tips to reduce allergy?
Thank you,
Drishti

Any kind of allergies should be treated well and the root cause should be cured. I recommend you visit an Ayurvedic practitioner.
Meanwhile, add more of papaya, lime, oranges and pineapple to your diet; they are rich in vitamin C and will help with your allergies.
Have honey water (use mildly warm water), preferably in the morning.
To clear your sinuses, you can try the yoga practice of Jal Neti under guidance from a certified professional.
Also, breathing exercises such as Anulom Vilom work wonders for those with sinus issues.
Start with 5-10 minutes and go up to 45 minutes daily, in open spaces like a garden early in the morning.
If you spend a lot of time indoors in an AC environment, it is advisable to either use the AC with dehumidifiers or invest in an air purifier.
Using essential oils such as eucalyptus oil or mint oil can also be helpful.
