I, like many others worldwide, have allergies. Hay fever or seasonal horrendous horrible nasty allergies that knock me out for a few weeks of the year. How do I deal with this yucky snotty time each year?
Bee pollen and Carmex.
No joke. I go through a jar of unfiltered local honey each spring and fall. I don't mind the massive amount of honey. I actually love the taste. During this time I put the honey in tea, on croissants, biscuits, or toast. So tasty; it makes allergies tolerable.
The Carmex you ask? I use that on my poor chapped red raw nose. Before bed I just apply a little to my schnoz and no more redness! I wake up with a plain ol' nose. No redness. Granted my skin tends to peel but that what loofahs are for. The plus side to Carmex? the menthol in the lip balm acts like Vicks and opens your sinuses while you sleep.
I guess I'm just too cheap to go buy antihistamines.
Stay green,
Yasha
PS No I'm not too cheap to go buy them. I just prefer this method after spending years on prescription meds. My symptoms seem less intense this way too. Hope this works for others!
