Guest guest Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 So the ragweed is out in full bloom and my eyes are watering like crazy. I've taken an allegra, but in the meantime, what do you guys do for an effective eyewash thingy? Is there anything particularly soothing? Or does a nasal wash help as well?

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Hi Mara, My boyfriend has ragweed allergies and the only thing so far that has worked is a homeopathic remedy that included ragweed. You should be able to find it at any health food store. If there is a homeopath in the store, ask them what dose they recommend. We used one that said to take one dose once a week, but he took it once a day and it got rid of all his symptoms. We were pretty amazed, since nothing else had helped (even over the counter allergy medications). Kat > > So the ragweed is out in full bloom and my eyes are > watering like crazy.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Mara & n, Maybe the ragweed is what is bothering Kaitlyn?! Are the stinging nettle capsules SCD legal? I started her on Allegra two days ago and I know that is not legal. Maybe I should give it try. - Kaitlyn's Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started her on Allegra two days ago and I knowthat > is not legal. Maybe I should give it try. I haven't tried stinging nettle but one thing that helps me with any kind of stuffy head is quercitin. It's plant-based and is apparently primarily a bioflavonoid, commonly found in apples, onions, teas, leafy green veggies, berries, red wine and many other foods. It has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties as well, from what I am reading, as well as the antihistamine properties. I can't say for sure it's SCD legal but it sounds OK to me, and it sure does help me when I'm all stuffed up (and without causing any problems that I can tell).
