I also support Starcat's suggestions of colon- and liver-cleansing. I had health problems which were entirely cured by these methods. See http://www.curezone.com if you're new to all this stuff, it's a great resource.

1) buy yourself some easy to use saline rinse (Saltaire - nationalallergysupply.com), not a spray.  Sprays moisten but don't really cleanse. Some people like Neti pots, I think they're a pain.  Afterwards keep the bottle clean and make your own with sea salt and a pinch of baking soda.  Ahhhhhh.

I had a dr recomemend it and she commented that the first year they began the recommendation their surgery rate dropped by 15%. Wash out the irritants--makes sense.  It seems gross but try it in the shower where it won't make a mess and you'll notice the difference.

2) take enough vitamin B, C and dose up on antioxidents.  Allergies suck the B right out of you leaving you with that hungover feeling.  Anti-oxidents help prevent you from getting a secondary infection or flu.

3) There are plenty of herb supplements you can take.  I have had great success with a two chinese remedies: Bi Yan Pian and Pe Min Wan Kan.  Both available on the web. Do take it with warm water as instructed on the package.  Don't understand why but this is important to the effectiveness. 

4) Dido on the Oil of Oregano.  Don't leave home without taking it.

Theres a kind of bio feedback mechanism that affects cells far removed whereby remedies seem to work far more effectivley if taken orally and tasted.

I have always made a point to chew any non-capsular supplements I take.  The area under a person's tongue has a very high concentration of blood vessels which allows you to directly absorb a lot of whatever it is you are taking, and it is probably beneficial for the nutrients to mix with the enzymes in saliva. 

Also, I think you receive a more powerful energetic effect of the supplement by doing that, because your body more easily assimilates the vibration of it similar to taking a homeopathic, though they do work in a very different manner.

Since everything is vibration, I used to place a bottle of something ( that was indicated for me by muscle testing,) on or near my solar plexus and then "tap it in to my chakras" receiving the effect of the supplement without necessarily having to take it.  Intention and belief are extremely important.

Well, good, then Summer I'm not the only one!  Claritin didn't do it for me.  In fact no other OTC works for me except Benadryl.

Doc, can't I just take cheyenne capsules?

Here's something strange that happens to me when I'm getting ready for work around 5:15am.  I'll have a hunger pang but then I sneeze.  I don't usually sneeze when I have hunger.  This is the only time that happens.

Theres a kind of bio feedback mechanism that affects cells far removed whereby remedies seem to work far more effectivley if taken orally and tasted.  For example you can save someones life with cayenne pepper if you put a spoonfull in their mouth while they are having a heart attack, when taken orally so the mouth "tastes" its  almost instantanious, capsules would not work here, likewise with blocked mucus in the head and lungs it will work quickley and far more powerfully if tasted.
No doubt capsules may still be good to try but it would not be as effective in my experience.

It doesn't mention that it's indicated for hayfever on that page, but the herb gambir was very helpful.

Have you tried any of the Homeopathic remedies for hayfever such as allium sepa.

Enough garlic + vitamin C will take out just about anything IME.  And if not then a strong Oregano Oil mixed with water, drink a few times daily, should finish it off.

Yep, cayenne also great for just about anything.  Circulation, parasites, immune system, etc.  My gut was on fire the first few days I take it, but afterward I don't even feel it.  Uhh one side-effect seems to be amplified sex drive.  At least for me.

Oh yeah, PS:  If you just want to decongest I highly recommend Habanero peppers.  Extremely hot.  Don't have to eat them directly, I recently found that boiling a pint of habanero's in a cup or two of vinegar and inhaling will clear you RIGHT out.  Lol.  Discovered this while making the newest batch of pickled eggs
