Hmmm. Fortunately for seasonal allergy sufferers and everyone around them, there are better -- and more proven -- ways to breathe easier: Neti-pot your nose. If you feel like you're single-handedly keeping Kleenex in business, try flushing out your sinuses. The best way to do this -- a neti pot -- sounds weird, but many people swear by it. You fill what looks like a little genie lamp with warm saltwater, stand over a sink, head tilted sideways, and slowly pour the liquid into one nostril; it streams out the other. It's not uncomfortable. Saline sprays also help (measured by a test called -- in what must have been one of the lighter moments in the lab -- the SNOT-20), but not as much. Keep pollen out. To keep your indoor air cleaner than your wallet before payday, try this: Leave your shoes at the door to avoid tracking in pollen; shower at night so you don't bring pollen to bed; buy a good air-filtering system and change/wash the filter at least once a month; keep doors and windows closed; and don't hang clothes outside to dry or air out. Take a mind trip. Picture yourself breathing easily on a snowy mountain. People who learn enough simple self-hypnosis to do this (takes a couple of hours) can see real improvements in hay-fever symptoms. It takes practice (about a year), but it's free, and it knocks down your stress levels, too. ======== The YOU Docs -- Mike Roizen and Mehmet Oz -- are authors of the best-selling "YOU: The Owner's Manual" and "YOU: On a Diet."
