My nose allergy or (hay fever ) is killing me ..HELP me please !.. And if you you no about any over-the-counter medication I would'nt mind to :)
Thanks There are several things that work pretty well: nettles, elderberry flowers, vitamin C, echinacea root extract are some. Also quercetin (a bioflavinoid) used with bromelain (a digestive enzyme, taken on an empty stomach.
If it is "killing you" I assume you have a pretty bad case of seasonal allergy. The best product I've found is called Respir-All by NOW Foods, available only in health food stores. It contains several of the things I listed and I've even seen it clear up what had been diagnosed as asthma. Read all the ingredients here: http://www.nowfoods.com/?action=itemdeta...
Some people find that dairy products make their hayfever worse, especially ice cream and whole milk. Try switching to soy, almond or rice milk for a time. I have used an herb called Nettle. You might want to do a whole body detox. Allergies can be a sign of parasites. The first step is to cleanse your intestinal system. This will not only make you feel better. This will also allow any supplements that you might be taking, this will lead to better absorption. You then should do a liver/gallbladder flush. You should also add a probiotic to your regimen. You might also consider doing a parasite cleanse. I have been using a product called Oxy-Powder for 3 years and it also help me to digest foods better. Since you said something about wanting to know about over-the-counter drugs, I'll suggest Claritin. It helps me and I have year-round allergies. I use a homeopathic pill. It sort of helps and doesn't throw my body off too much.
The homeopathic stuff only costs $8 for 500 pills and I get it from 1800homeopathy.com (i think). Acute attacks of hay fever often respond to homeopathic remedies. Allergies are usually deep-seated problems, and are often best addressed with a constitutional remedy and the guidance of an experienced practitioner.

Aching in the back of the head and neck, a trembling feeling, and chills along the spine are often seen when a person needs Gelsemium.
Natrum muriaticum: Allergy attacks with sneezing, watery eyes, clear nasal discharge that resembles egg white, and a loss of taste and smell will all suggest a need for this remedy. The person may have dark circles under the eyes, be thirsty, feel withdrawn and sad, and act irritable if comforted.
Nux vomica: If the nose is alternately stuffed up (especially outdoors or at night) and running (indoors and in the daytime), this remedy may bring relief. Other symptoms include a teasing cough, a scraped or tickly feeling in the throat, and headache. A person who needs this remedy often feels impatient, irritable, and chilly.
Sabadilla: Long paroxysms of sneezing, itching in the nose with irritating runny discharge, a feeling of a lump in the throat, and watery eyes will all suggest a need for this remedy. The person may feel nervous during allergy attacks, and trying to concentrate can bring on drowsiness or headache.
Wyethia: Intolerable itching felt on the roof of the mouth and behind the nose鈥攕ometimes extending into the throat and ears鈥攕trongly suggests the use of this remedy. Everything in the person鈥檚 head feels dry and irritated, but the nose may still be runny.
Homeopathy Dosage Directions
Select the remedy that most closely matches the symptoms. In conditions where self-treatment is appropriate, unless otherwise directed by a physician, a lower potency (6X, 6C, 12X, 12C, 30X, or 30C) should be used. In addition, instructions for use are usually printed on the label.

I suffer from awful allergies too. One thing I've found that really works is a homeopathic allergy tincture that's specific to my region (N. California) and the blooming plants here that create hayfever. The name of the producer escapes me, but I'd be willing to be they have other regional tinctures as well. Maybe try asking at your local health food store/natural pharmacy for region specific homeopathic allergy tinctures. The one that I buy is so popular in my area that our store has a hard time keeping it on the shelves during the allergy season. I stock up in the winter time for that very reason!
Good luck! Try homeopathic remedy one that labels "hay fever".
Over the counter medications usually would dry your nasals, not good. Keep hydrated..
good luck. I would recommend herbal supplements ALJ, which assists the body in neutralizing allergens, with herbs including Fenugreek seeds and Horseradish root extract and Histablock with stinging nettle, quercetin, bromelain and immature orange peel by Nature Sunshine Products. These products helps my sons who deal with allergies. Also, look into eating for your blood type and avoid dairy products, processed foods, junk foods and try a more wholesome diet. |
