Dear Herbalist {or homemakers that know good remedies} among my readers~
The week has been in very fair weather as of late, and my allergies have really flared up {I think it's also my cat's dander:p}. I prefer using natural alternatives compared to prescription {which I will probably have to obtain any way}.
I did want to ask you though if you have any suggestions as to what natural home remedies will soothe the sneezing and runny nose?
I did a little research on the internet and saw that locally-grown honey does not help! I was pretty surprised about that!:)
I also found out that a peppermint oil steam might help.I think after a few hours {I just went to the dentist for a cleansing}, I will take the Beeutiful Probiotics.
Many thanks,
The Young Lady {NOT} Enjoying the Springtime Garden
Grace - I'm not sure, but I know this kind of honey has stopped me from getting colds in the past. :) Not sure how it'd work for allergies...

Peppermint steams (or just rubbing a few drops of peppermint oil on your chest at night (be sure to use a carrier oil so it isn't straight peppermint)) does work. We have had the same thing going around here and have been doing a lot of those. That helps your breathing at night... for the runny nose, get a Neti Pot. Those are the BEST things in the world... absolutely work like a charm! :)
ReplyDeleteHTH!! Love ya lots and wishing you to get well! Sarah
Dearest Grace, I have heard that peppermint works and also I have heard that Chamomile Tea works. You just drink about 2 cups of Chamomile tea a day and it should help!
ReplyDeleteI do hope that you feel better soon, dear friend!!!
Love,
Miriam
Grace,
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon.
I don't know of any remedies to give you I do hope you feel better.
ReplyDeleteAww poor you! I'm afraid I can be of no help when it comes to herbs. I only know how to cure sore throats. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'll be e-mailing you soon - I'm sorry I haven't been updating you...things got a little busy this week. :D
Hello, girls! Thanks so much for the advice and suggestions and encouragement! You are all the best! I'm getting better thank goodness; there were times yesterday where I would sneeze continuously!
ReplyDeleteToday I am so much better!
Thank you again!
With much love,
Grace
Well, at least you COULD sneeze.. I HATE it when your nose tingles but it just won't sneeze!!! I am glad you are getting better, though.. I forgot to mention -just for future reference since you are better now- that doing chamomile steams works really well.. Either use the chamomile flower (dried), or chamomile tea bags...
