It is probably the pollen on the flowers that made you sneeze if drinking it was okay.

Astralagus is a good sub for echinacea if you're allergic...

Snowkitty,

Did you do a complete cleanse.. and were you still allergic after that?

Hi Snowkitty,

I'm interested in your comment:

>I can't use echinacea. I'm allergic. It can cause reactions in people allergic to plants in the daisy family.

I grow echinacea and black-eyed susan's and other daisy-type plants. When I go to cut them down in the late summer, I get a very itchy rash all the way up my arms, sneeze, and get all the symptoms of an allergy. Fortunately, it goes away quickly. I'm really wondering if I would have a problem taking echinacea internally. Have you ever tried?

This might sound like a really stupid question, but some years ago I had a tin of dried chamomile tea and every time I would open it and take out a spoonful, I would sneeze like mad, but the actual tea didn't seem to affect me (that I know of).

Cheers,

and the K9's
