Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Hi all, I'm a lurker with a question.. I'm trying to get off my zyrtec d allergy medication. So I'm looking for other ways to get relief from my severe allergies. I've been drinking ACV raw 3 times a day to help with detoxing. I started to take my zyrtec d once a day instead of twice a day. I'm taking a multivitamin, vit. c, chelated magnesium, and quercetin to help. I feel like the zyrtec d doesn't even help anymore. I've been taking it for about 8yrs now. So my question...I thought I read in a aromatherapy book that you can put EO on your pillow at night to help with sleeping and other things. Is there anything that I can put on my pillow to help with the night time mucous that fills my nose and clogs my ear tubes? Thanks, Genevive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Have you ever tried a heated eye pillow? I make sinus pillows to sell at my herb farm and fill them with flax seeds as well as dried cut peppermint, eucalyptus, rosemary and lavender. I'm the biggest consumer of them. You heat them up in the microwave and put them over your eye/sinus area and you can feel your sinuses opening and draining. The heat is a big part of it. I used to use a rolled up towel with hot water but the heat dissipates quickly. The flax seeds hold the heat (better than rice IMO which is often used in these things). And the herbs, especially the eucalyptus, are decongestant as well and just smell great.
