Yesterday while I was working the Farmers' Market booth I started to get itchy, watery eyes and was sneezing up a storm. I knew for sure that my allergies were kicking in for the season, and I found that the culprit was the luverly HUGE batch of basil that a sweet friend gave to me when she was stopping by to say 'hello'.
*Sigh* Basil does this to me at least once a year, but I still love it!
In the Spring I posted an article that a friend wrote about teas for hayfever, which folks might find as a worth while read. There are also a couple of other natural alternatives to antihistamines that I know of that might be of interest to my fellow allergy sufferers as well.
The first one {which I have used and should have stuck with!} is propolis, which I can attest to its affectiveness. If you are in Near North Ontario definitely check out Board's Honey Farm proplis.
Below is a video with Susun Weed show how to make a ragweed tincture which is supposed to be a great preventative treatment for allergies.
Sláinte!
