Fight Seasonal Allergies With Heat
If seasonal allergies are preventing you from breathing through your nose, you can take decongestants, but they'll end up drying you up everywhere, even your lady business. Plus they can make you feel kind of spaced out and tired.
A natural alternative I've found that relieves congestion is to raise your body temperature through exercise.
Cold and Flu Tip: Neti Pot Instead of Decongestants
It's cold and flu season and just about everyone I know is sniffling, sneezing, and all stuffed up. To deal with these nasal symptoms, you can pop decongestants like Sudafed, but they'll cause annoying side effects like dry mouth, sore throat, and headaches, and can lead to sinusitis. Plus if you think about it, your body creates all that mucus to help flush the germs out.
Milk, Mucus and You: The Congestion Connection
If you suffer from seasonal allergies, and your symptoms involve nasal and sinus congestion 24-7, you may want to take a look at the dairy in your diet.
Dairy products like milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream may be making your allergy symptoms worse. Casein, the naturally occurring protein in dairy products, can promote the formation of mucus.
Antihistamines or Decongestants: Which Does What?

When someone has seasonal allergies, his or her immune system sees pollen as an invader.
