I swear by my Neti Pot. Do some research on the neti pot, how to use and

where to buy via online. Lots of great info on it. I know it has grown in

popularity. My colds are also so much easier with my neti pot. I got mine at

my local Whole Foods store, but I have seen them sold at Walgreens.

Do you have a mattress and pillow cover? It could be an allergy to dust mites.

Get rid of the carpet in your bedroom- we have gotten rid of all the carpet

upstairs- they are hives of mold and mites activity. Today I am washing the

walls of the bedroom with tea tree oil and water to kill mold spores- apparently

they are very bad in winter acoording to the book I am reading Hay Fever by

Brostoff. Good luck,

Dianne

Does anyone have any suggestions for clearing up night time nasal

congestion. This seems to be the time it bothers me most. Very

annoying and disruptive to my sleep.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'd start with getting rid of anything you could be allergic to in or on the bed

or nearby--I got rid of feather pillows and down comforter. I keep the place

well dusted and vacuumed most of the time and bed sheets washed in HOT because

allergenic substances survive with cold water wash. I use natural soaps to

wash, no commercial toxic detergents. Those are the biggest factors that have

helped me with congestion. Someone suggested a neti pot which works to help

with congestion and there are other irrigation systems that work too. I use one

that has a little packet of salt added to the water and you irrigate your nose

with the water with salt similar to using a neti pot. All water should be

distilled or boiled and cooled with sodium added (just a little)I I take

several grams of Vit. C before bed too. Those help with allergies too.
