Question: For someone with blocked nose from allergies, aside from removal of allergens, any alternative med advice?
Since some allergens like trees, certain chemicals,pollen, pets etc are either unavoidable or difficult to part with, are there any herbs, other natural treatments to alleviate the symptoms? thanks

Pineapple. It has natural anti-histamines. If you have severe allergies, this won't help much, but it is great for reducing the symptoms. A glass of pineapple juice a day.

Apparently, a good acupuncturist can get rid of hay fever. They treat you during winter in preparation for the spring. I haven't tried this for my hay fever because I forget about it during winter.

The first website below lists many alternative allergy treatments.

The other alternative is to investigate the emotional reason for the allergy. My own personal experience bears this one out - I live in Melbourne, Australia which is one of the two worst places in the Western world for hay fever and with everyone else complaining of a very bad year I have had a very mild one. "Louise Hay ascribes allergies to denying one's own power, to aversion to certain people, and hay fever to emotional congestion, a belief in persecution, to guilt, and fear of the calendar. Thorwald Dethlefsen and Rüdiger Dahlke, MD, in their book,"The Healing Power of Illness," think allergies arise from aggression precipitated out of the psyche into the physical body, that allergic people do not recognize their aggression and do not live it out. We know that fake roses can cause an allergic attack in one allergic to roses, or the picture of a cat can do the same with people sensitive to cats; thus, the allergic response does not require the presence of the "actual" allergen (or, what is the actual allergen, but a form of fear?)."

Good luck!

The goal of rhinitis treatment is to prevent or reduce the symptoms caused by the inflammation of affected tissues. In cases of allergic rhinitis, the most effective way to decrease allergic symptoms is to completely avoid the allergen. Vasomotor rhinitis can be brought under a measure of control through avoidance of irritants, though many irritants, such as weather changes, are uncontrollable.

Allergic rhinitis can typically be treated much like any other allergic condition. Eliminating exposure to allergens is the most effective preventive measure, but requires consistent effort. Many people with pollen allergies reduce their exposure by remaining indoors during hay fever season, particularly in the morning and evening, when outdoor pollen levels are at their highest. Closing all the windows and doors prevents wind-borne pollen from entering the home or office. When traveling in a vehicle, closing all the windows reduces exposure. Air conditioners are reasonably effective filters, and special pollen filters can be fitted to both home and vehicle air conditioning systems.

Rinsing is very often recommended as part of the healing process after sinus or nasal surgery. For this rinse, boiled or distilled water is only necessary during recovery from surgery, as the entire contents of the bottle is used.

Therapeutic efficacy of complementary-alternative treatments is not supported by currently available evidence. Some evidence shows that acupuncture is effective for rhinitis while other evidence does not. The overall quality of evidence, however, is poor.

Hope it helps.



while you should remove obvious allergens, its difficult to fully avoid these things. one thing ive used is the supplement quercetin which is derived from apple skins. it is a natural antihistamine which may help. also using other antiinflammatories may help like vitamin C, A, fish oil, Alpha lipoic acid, etc...

A step i took which i think is a good idea for anyone with chronic allergy problems is to invest in a hepa air purifier. there are alot out there covering all different price ranges. some perform better than others and i would definitely look for a true hepa filter in the purifier you choose. there are good reviews at the following site. ill also link to a very popular model, one of the best selling in the industry, tons of awesome amazon ratings and a pretty reasonable price. hope this helps...

Homeopathy is your best bet. There are several different remedies depending on how your body reacts. Allium cepa (red onion) works for people who react in pretty much the same way as they do when exposed to raw onions -- red itchy eyes and runny nose where the discharge is acrid and burning. I'm allergic to cats and get this reaction.
