Sorry that I have been MIA the past few days. Allergies have gotten the best of me, but I believe that I have it all under control. I invested about $30 at Walmart in 2 new (to me) products.<\/p>\n

\"017\"<\/p>\n

\"020\"<\/p>\n

I had been depending on Zyrtec to help me out, however, I could not function in the zombie-like state that it put me in. Enter Neti Pot & Allergen Block. I chose both products for a couple of reasons. First, they were both recommended to me by other people that I trust. Second, neither contained any gluten<\/strong> or medication that could cause any nasty side effects! <\/p>\n

I was really creeped out by the thought of using the Neti Pot<\/a>, but desperate times call for measures. I put on my big girl panties and ventured into the bathroom to use the Neti Pot. It wasn’t nearly as bad as I had feared that it would be. It was no worse than learning to breath properly while swimming. \ud83d\ude09 The result? WOW!! I was shocked at how much clearer my head was! Not only that day, but for several days after. The box recommends using 1 – 2 times per day, which I haven’t done yet, but am working on. It has been about 4-5 days and I am definitely seeing the need to repeat this. The most important piece of information I have to share – do not<\/strong> ever use plain water with the Neti Pot. Make sure to use the enclosed solution in the water. This cost me just under $13 at Walmart. Click here for a $2 off coupon on a NeilMed Neti Pot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I had never heard of the Chloraseptic<\/a> Allergen Block until my friend Lisa, of Lisa’s Blogety Blog<\/a>, mentioned it. I have to admit that I was skeptical, but desperate. I believe that we have another winner! I have been using this in combination with my Claritin, Zaditor and Flonase with decent results. It is really easy to use, just rub a pea size dot of the gel between 2 fingers and then rub on the outside of your nostrils & then between your top lip & nostrils. This can be used every 4 – 6 hours. How does this stuff work? Here is some information from the website:<\/p>\n

How does Chloraseptic\u2122 Allergen Block work?
<\/strong>Allergen Block works by helping to block airborne allergens before they enter the nose, so your body does not have to fight them once inside your upper respiratory system.<\/p>\n

Why do we care if allergens have positive or negative charges?
<\/strong>Opposite charges attract. The Chloraseptic\u2122 Allergen Block gel carries a charge which is opposite the charge that an airborne allergen carries. Since opposite charges attract, Chloraseptic\u2122 Allergen Block acts like a magnet and helps to trap the oppositely charged allergens on contact, much like an air filtration system works.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So, there you have it. The Allergen Block cost me just under $15 at Walmart. <\/p>\n
