Spring has sprung and so have the allergies associated with this season of cleansing and rebirth. I never had allergies before I moved to Northern California where we're blessed with seven micro-climates and it seems as though Mother Nature is alive and well.
The plant allergies affect my eyes more than my sinuses. I would take Wellesley (our mascot) for his daily walk and we'd often find ourselves in town. I would constantly be wiping the tears from my watery eyes. If you have read my other posts you probably realize I'm pretty friendly. I actually like to speak with people waiting on line in my local coffee shop. I would find myself beginning the conversation with " I'm really happy and my eyes are weeping with joy" as I dabbed away the tears.
Since using the neti pot first thing in the morning ~ I'm tear free. It's a miracle attaining relief without prescription drugs. And by flushing out your sinus cavity you're helping your immune system fight off colds.
All you need is:
- Distilled water
- Neti pot
- Sinus/saline solution (easily found on internet or health store)
- Sink
- Tissues
- Sense-of-humor

And remember what MOM says...
"It couldn't hurt!"
