Hi Ray,
I wanted to ask your advice on supplements to take and other holistic treatment for sinus problems caused by allergies. I don't know if it's tree or ragweed allergies but the last few days I've been sneezing a lot, my eyes are watering, I have that awful achey, pressured feeling in my head and my nasal membranes are inflamed. My nose looks twice its size (not a pretty picture)!
What would you suggest I do? I have some Zyrtec here but I'd prefer to try to treat it without a drug. I have some quercitin/bromelain capsules here but I'm not sure if they're any good once the problem has already started. I was thinking of using a salt and water nasal spray. I also have some eucalyptus oil. What will fight the inflammation? I'm not averse to taking ibuprofen but I'm wondering if there aren't other things that might work better. (If there are, I'm sure that you will know what they are since I know you've been researching the topic of inflammation a lot lately.)
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kara
