Similasan Nasal Allergy Relief

I’m a sneezer.

Ask any of my coworkers, especially after they have “blessed me” for the twentieth time in as many minutes. (Good thing I work for a religious organization!)

My sneezing flares up when the weather changes, and considering the winter we’ve had, it’s been particularly bad lately. And if I do some dusting around the house, forget about it. I’ll be red-eyed and sneezing for hours. (Fortunately, I’m not a huge fan of dusting, so that’s not as big of a problem as the weather.) 10/09/10

This rose? It’s beautiful. But the fragrance is likely to bring on a fit worthy of Sneezy.

Bring on the Similasan Nasal Allergy Relief.

My usual method of combating my nasal allergies is some over-the-counter, non-drowsy antihistamine. But they don’t always work, and they’re expensive. When I was given the opportunity to try this Swiss-made, natural, homeopathic product, I jumped at the chance.

So what does this nasal mist do? Well, it’s not going to cure my allergies, but I don’t expect anything to do that. All I want is to manage the symptoms. The itchy nose, the incessant sneezing, the post-nasal drip and the sore throat that goes with it.

And Similasan Nasal Allergy Relief did that beautifully, with all-natural ingredients and without the preservatives found in other nasal sprays.

You know the ones. I used to have to use one every night just to sleep. It would open up my sneeze-swollen nasal passages…for about an hour. And then I’d wake up, gasping for breath, dreaming I was suffocating. And squirt in another dose, and then continue the awful cycle all night long. My doctor prescribed me a truly disgusting-tasting spray to wean me off the over-the-counter decongestant sprays I was using, but I don’t know what was worse–being unable to breathe or the taste of that medication.

Fortunately, Similasan has an herbal scent and taste that is not at all off-putting. It’s kind of refreshing, actually. But here’s the beauty of Similasan Nasal Allergy Relief: it makes me stop sneezing so much that whole nightmarish cycle never even begins. That’s a win-win situation right there! It manages my symptoms so well that I don’t need that other nasal spray.

Similasan is easy to find. In fact, it’s sold at my (and the boys’) favorite store – Walgreens! (Seriously, they love Walgreens.) So from now on, I

    I usually prepare with lots of tissues and a box of OTC allergy medication, but now I think I’ll give this a shot since most of my discomfort happens in the nasal region 🙂 Thanks for the recommendation!

    To prepare for spring, I clean out closets and donate items we no longer need or use.

    How do I prepare for allergy season? I just have to suffer through it unfortunately. I am allergic to all allergy medication, and the neti pot and nose sprays give me nose bleeds. I may give this a shot though. Anything is worth a try!

    Zyrtec (which I’ve been taking for years and was thrilled when it became OTC. The OTC price is cheaper than what my copay was when it was prescription) and sudafed are my go to allergy meds. I’ve done prescription nasal spray before but have never liked the taste in the back of my throat. I’ll have to check this out.

    I whine and convince myself I’m just tired or getting a cold that lasts a really long time because I’m in denial. No allergies!

    After battling what I thought was a chronic cold last season, I realized towards the end it was probably allergies. So this year I have started taking allergy meds daily to hopefully help. I get this burning, watery eye thing (like when you cut an onion) and occasionally some sinus crud. Blah!

    We prepare for spring by stocking up on lots of zyrtec, nebulizer meds and cold medicine. Oh, and the neti pot too! We also do our best to get a good deep clean done of the house, which involves getting all the clothing items that no longer fit ready for our annual garage sale.

    We stock up on extra cold & allergy meds and break out the nebulizer! Spring is also the time we break out the soccer cleats and shin guards and attend our children’s soccer games. We also get ready for our annual garage sale!

    Excellent review. I prepare for spring by packing my bags and flying back to the northeast from a warmer climate. I’m not too bothered with allergies, however, I am very pleased to see an all natural product on the market at long last. Thanks for sharing with this great review!

    I usually stock up on some nice tissues so my nose doesn’t get all red/raw and use some nasal mist my dr suggested.

    Spring is one of my favourite times of year! I love when the snow is gone and everything starts to dry up so I can get out in the yard and rake the grass and get the gardens ready for planting. I scrub down my house and open up all the windows to let some fresh air in, which is a blessing in itself after our cold, cold winters. 🙂
