Oil of oregano just absolutely burns the throat....lol....BUT it is a VERY potent viral fighter. I had something NASTY like a couple months ago...upset stomach..runny nose...headache... I took up to 3 drops (that's all i could handle at one time) before all my meals (3 - 6 times a day) and within 4 days I was all better..like..not a trace...usually it takes me at least a couple weeks for me to get over anything..no matter how much water/rest/soup i'm having.. If you have a runny/stuffy nose, the first difference you'll notice is how much it clears up your sinuses. Now I use echinicea for prevention and oil of oregano if it's past that stage. Maybe you should google allergies and oil of oregano? I know it's really good for stuff like the stomach flu and viruses...uh..like in my case...allergies not sure but if you got something viral, that will kill it for sure. hey how u feeling?

Hmmm...OK... I only take it when I have an infection. I try to prevent the infection with the oil of oregano and the neti pot. When I feel one coming on, I add the oregano to my vitamin regimen, take extra vitamin C and double my neti pot rinses. I also agree with the local honey recommendation. You can also check the homeopathic section of Whole Foods (or better yet, a mom and pop natural foods store) and see if they have the allergy remedies that are local to your area. I use the homeopathic Texas weed allergies or Texas tree allergies on me and my girls. It builds up your immunity to the allergens. Now we hardly have to use them. We just keep our noses clean with saline and take extra vitamin C when the allergies are bad. Lucky for my kids, I'm starting early. I'm still susceptible to allergies and sinus infections so I tend to need more stuff. Take lots of fluids too. Lemon tea (boil lemon slices in water) with your honey. If you feel stuffy, you could even try Mucinex. If you end up going to the doctor and get on antibiotics (and they will prescribe them if it is an infection), make sure you eat yogurt or get acidophilus in your system to prevent stomach upset from the antibiotics.

He can sleep all night and has minimal problems in the day. Works great for us. I hope you give the neti pot a few days to work its "magic". good luck!

I have one too = ) It helps to a certain extent but some times- the clog is just too much for the Neti. I swear by Claritin D. The one you have to sign your life away to get. And after the first time I used my NP I wanted a nap too. It was borderline traumatic.
