thelerner Posted April 10, 2014 In the U.S Midwest I had allergies during the winter. Never happened before. They're predicting high pollen counts this Spring. I dislike using allergy medicines. I've started using a Neti daily. Any other suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Green Tiger Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) I bought some stuff at Whole Foods last year that worked pretty well. I think it was this stuff. It didn't have any of the side effects of allergy medicine, but I did have to take it several times a day. I've noticed that, if I get a good Tai Chi practice in first thing in the morning and before I go to bed at night, my allergies aren't quite as bad. And I feel that, in general, I haven't been affected quite as severely since I've started practicing. There are still two or three weeks in the spring when I get really itchy and irritated, though. EDIT: I just found the package and it was actually this stuff. Much cheaper. I'm surprised to see that it's homeopathic. I usually don't trust homeopathy, but it seemed to work.

GrandmasterP Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) Is it duck season in the USA right now? I thought that was in autumn. Migration rather than breeding time. Edited April 10, 2014 by GrandmasterP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karuna Posted April 11, 2014 My allergies act up quite a bit during Spring as well. Kinda weird, but I find that hiking/walking in deep woods noticeably clears out my sinuses. - like a reset or something. Helps with my allergies, at least. You could try including local honey as a replacement for sweetener, if and when you do sweeten. Nettle (I'd take it as a tincture) and omega-3s... I should neti soon..

SonOfTheGods Posted April 11, 2014 Organic Apple Cider Vinegar "with the Mother in it" 1tablespoon in a glass of clean water. Upon rising in the morning x once daily. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelerner Posted April 11, 2014 Day 4 of using the Neti, my nasal openings seem much clearer. Usually at night I shift around, moving to my right side to clear my left sinus and vice versa. Last night I was in the sweet spot, both nostrils open and clear. SoG good idea on the apple cider vinegar. Its quite nice tonic in itself, its so inexpensive its unappreciated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
