hayfever

Body: 

okay so this may seem completely off topic but actually it's not...

i get horrible hayfever which is setting in. I hate taking antihistamines so am always looking for natural remedies, but have as yet to find anything particularly good. homeopathy has never really made a huge difference in this case, and the wax and powders that go in / around the nasal area don't really do that much either.
any other ideas?
all this sneezing and nose blowing isn't great for my anatomy, even if i bend forward etc...
so any thoughts are welcomed!!!

thank you

PS didn't know what forum to put this in...sorry!

have you ever heard of one of these? basically you fill it with salt water and then rinse your sinuses out.
My dh raked leaves in the yard recently and the pollen just about killed him- he started rinsing about every hour and felt great!

They are called Neti pots and they work very well! I too suffer from allergies, and when I was pregnant last August, it was the only thing I could do for relief! They are cheap and effective. The feeling is weird at first, but you will get used to it! There is also a product called nasaleze which is natual and safe. Basically you put cellulose up your nose to block the pollen from binding to your cells!
