Eating Healthy Never Tasted So Good!
Allergies? Not with these items you won't.
mindsayI am a long time seasonal allergy sufferer, despite the fact that I love gardening. So for years I was a benadryl kid, and for years I too felt the well-known "sleepy" side affects. However, I have come across some allergy relief products that have seriously eliminated my need for Benadryl, Claritin, Allegra, Zyrtec, and Flonase. Yeah, I'm pretty much allergic to any and everything haha.
For sneezing, itchy, dry nose, constant running, and all those other fun symptoms these next couple of items have honestly been my panacea.
Ayr Brand Nasal Gel: This saline nasal gel is quite honestly the most amazing thing ever for nasal allergies. It's perfect for dry, scratchy irritation, that constant need to rub your nose, and helps soothe that tingly sensation. Just place a little dab around the nostrils, and then carefully put some up your nose. A little goes a long way! You don't have to plug your nose with this stuff to make it work. It has aloe that will immediately remove itch feelings, plus the saline solution keeps it moist. This also helps to prevent pollen from entering all the way up the nose to the olfactory foramen. (fancy term for where the pollen drives you crazy.)
SinuCleanse Squeeze: Sometimes all you really need is to clean out your Nasal Sinuses to remove any built up pollen and air particles. This simple nasal wash kit will remove built up mucous, pollen, misc particles that get stuck in the mucous membranes. It uses warm water, Sodium Bicarbonate and Sodium Chloride (saline solution) to naturally wash out the nasal sinuses. If you click the link it will describe how to use it properly. It's very easy to do, and after the first try I immediately felt better. I highly recommend this one. It's pretty much what you would get done at an ENT's office, but much cheaper.
Now let's say you can't be bothered to have water rushing up your nose and out the other end. Well here is a great all natural tea that will help stimulate your mucuous sinuses to loosen up and help flush out your allergens. Not to mention this tastes GREAT!
Nasal Cleanse Tea:
1/2" slice of fresh ginger
3-4 clove pieces
small cinnamon stick (broken into two)
5-6 cardamom pods
*you will also need your own Tea Bags or a Tea Ball
You will need to dice the ginger into nice size bits. The cinnamon sticks will also need to be shortened to fit inside the tea bag or tea ball. I would not recommend using ground cinnamon, because it will be too overpowering. The cardamom pods can be crushed open, but keep the seeds in the pod.
Once you have everything in the tea bag or tea ball, time to boil some water. Make sure the water boils for just a second, then remove from the heat. Pour hot water over tea bag or tea ball and allow to seep for 5-10 minutes. You should be able to smell the tea (it will smell amazing). Then you may add some sugar or sweetener, but not too much. Sip Slowly and allow the tea to warm up your throat. This will help stimulate your nasal passages and you should notice your nose starting to drain. If you notice your nose is really starting to run, this would be a great time to try the SinuCleanse Squeeze! Or you can just blow your nose.
