This meme should say, “When the weather is still really hot but the pollen count is 1 million”. Guys, my allergies are trying to take me down. And I mean TAKE ME DOWN. So my post is gonna be extremely short and sweet. If you’re feeling the same way I’m feeling, you’ve gotta try a Medicine Ball from Starbucks. It’s also known as a Honey Citrus Mint Tea, but when I’m feeling any type of cold symptoms-especially a sore throat, it’s the best cure!
These are the players in the game. And they make the best little concoction when thrown all together. Trust me! I found this blog post years ago that tells you just how to make it {in case you live far away from a Starbucks}.
And I’ve also been using this sore throat spray which basically numbs my mouth for a bit. HIGHLY recommend. It tastes terrible, but for a few minutes I forget all about my sore throat.
Do you have any suggestions on the best allergy symptom remedies? I’d love ANY suggestions!

Allergies are the worst! Feel better!

I’m from Iowa and have a terrible time with allergies! The last two years I’ve visited my doctor for a steroid shot and it works wonders!
I use a blend of 20 drops each of peppermint, lavender and lemon essential oils, blended with a carrier oil of your choice. Mix up in a roller ball and apply to temples. Works well for me, hopefully it does for you too. Feel better!
Nasal saline mist – the one that says mist Vicks makes a great one — just irrigate your nose like crazy for a couple days- spray continuous in one nostril while tilting your head the opposite way letting it run through your other nostril into the sink and you’ll feel so much better after a couple days of doing this twice a day
DAILY Zyrtec and twice daily Flonase for me! If I miss a day, I’m feeling it. Also emailed you some closet tips last week. Hope that’s coming along well, so exciting!
My allergist says Flonase is the BEST. I used to get allergies so badly, I was miserable. But I do 2 squirts of Flonase (over the counter) in my nose and NO PROBLEM. It’s a miracle worker. When your allergies are super bad, you do 2 sprays in the a.m. and 2 sprays at night. Once under control, 2 sprays in a.m. I’m also a RN, so don’t fear my suggestion 🙂 hahah
I find a combo of Flonase and an allergy pill daily help me….I took weekly allergy shots when I was little, so I think I’m better now bc of those shots….
Take one Zyrtec every single day year around no matter how you feel. That’s a Dr. Riegel tip that works wonders! In the meantime, start but I would also say…take Benadryl.
I’m on Benadryl around the clock right now! I was trying to stay away from Zyrtec daily but I probably need to start.
We use xyzal and it really helps!! I take it at night and usually feel better within a couple days.
