I already know all of this, but this is for the benefits of people on my friends list who might not know. While I love Benadryl and Claritin, I don't want to rely on them constantly, and I know people for whom they just don't work.

Most of this was drilled into me by Mom during my childhood. She still calls to ask if I'm taking Co-Q10 and Omega-3 (I am). Lately I am favoring the large doses of Vitamin C (4 grams or more) and probiotics, along with omega-3. CoQ10 is still expensive.

Triphala, Trikatu, and Neem, of course, are excellent. As is Xlear, which is the natural answer to OTC nasal sprays (Oh Em Gee, I love it so).

That's awesome, thanks.

I actually stopped by the local whole foods store today (you inspired me!) to pick up some honey to see if that whole local honey consumption thing works for me. The lady who worked there also recommended the Xlear stuff, I may go pick some of that up if the honey's effects aren't immediate.

The honey effects will take a few days to a few weeks, depending on your body. But even so, I really really back up the Xlear recommendation. The nice thing is that you can use it as much as you want, several times a day; you can't do that with OTC stuff without risking pain and over-tolerance.
