I don't think that there's a nose meridien point for your problem, Jeans!  Sounds like you found something that works, though, and that's a huge plus with allergies! I never had them until I moved down South - and they cleared up as soon as I moved back to Chicago. They're miserable, aren't they? Let's not talk about the day I (without thinking) took 3 Benadryl instead of the recommended 1. Luckily I had nothing to do that day! Cyndi, from my research into the topic (granted, it was a couple years ago), true homeopathic medicine does not work to simply mask the symptoms. For that, refer to the above Benadryl story! : ) Rather, it works much like a vaccine - by recreating the symptoms with a specific concentration the body will then learn to reject it. I don't know much about the drugstore homeopathic remedies, but a homeopathic doctor will ask question after question that seems unimportant but shoots to the heart of the exact problem. A sore throat that is worse in the morning needs a different treatment than one that worsens at night... I'm explaining this poorly, I know. It's like the saying "it has to get worse before it gets better". So, if 1 is the least painful, and 10 is the most: a sore throat that is a 3 at 8am and a 7 at 8pm will get a specific treatment that is geared to turn it into a 10 in order to stimulate the body to treat itself. Or something like that. It shouldn't be hard to find a better explanation, but it was worth a shot. | |||

Expert Yogi Posts: 5098 Location: Somewhere in the Mountains of Western NC | Jean, I live with Parrots, Dogs, Cats and Bees. Before Acupuncture, I did not live with animals, I could barely tolerate visiting friend's houses. After Acupuncture...NO more allergies. and Yes, there is a merididan point for the nose and sinuses...it works great. As for the homeopathic version, I gave up on that when it really turned into...instead of taking Western Over the counter medicine or prescriptions...it turned into taking herbs and tinctures which it eventually made my body resistant to, therefore, not giving me any results. Acupuncture and dealing with meridians is a totally different concept, but some consider it alternative and somewhat holistic. Good luck with your problem...just go do Rabbit and then savasana  | ||

Thanks guys! I know what you mean about homeopathy, that is my understanding too. However, I didn't go to a homeopath to get this prescribed for me specifically, I just bought it off the internet!  One of my friends has a great acupuncturist, but she said for allergy relief you must begin with 3 days in a totally allergen-free environment. Since this would necessitate moving out of my house for 3 days, I haven't gotten around to trying it. But, I've heard good things and I'm not ruling it out. I've also heard/read a lot that allergies are a reaction to the environment based on a non-robust immune system. So, if I were eating right, exercising every day, getting plenty of sleep and not being stressed, perhaps my allergies would go away. Maybe that's why the allergies don't bother me in Florida, the mere sight of a palm tree makes me feel all dreamy! I've definitely been exercising every day, but the breakneck schedule often results in no sleep and convenience foods. One day I worked 9 hours at the office, taught Pilates for an hour after work, then came home and had 2 beers and 2 hot dogs! DOUBLE OOPS! Just 6 more weeks of this and my total healthy-life makeover will begin! Meanwhile, I was just wondering if anyone had experience with this Hyland's brand and their homeopathic remedies, positive or negative. Right now I'm pretty happy with it! Three Benadryls!  I'd be asleep for a week! | |||
