All you do is put a drop or two of it in a bowl and then add about 10 drops of water to dilute it. What I do then is simply dip my index finger in the bowl and then start rubbing the solution throroughly in my nostrils. Get in every nook and cranny and do 3-5 applications.
Very interesting. Will have to give it a try. I try and avoid medication of any kind but apparently the Bay Area is one of the worst regions in the world for airborne allergens and every spring is brutal for me.
I was talking to my mom last weekend and she was saying how her doctor just told her to get off clarendon because long term its really bad for your blood pressure. I'm sitting there likethinking about the doctor because he only told her this because she's older and has high blood pressure. Hell he probably recommended it years ago in the first place.

Which brand of "generic" Zyrtec are you using? I've used Zyrtec and Costco's Kirkland brand and it's the best for my allergies.
Do you know why the doctor said claritin specifically? I would think all allergy medications are the same essentially.
I will try that Lavendar oil tip. How long does it usually last you?
This is what I use. I can't guarantee it'll worth for you, but I do think its worth a try for the price.
I had an allergic reaction to something while interning at the hospital so I was given something for the crazy itches I was getting.
The nurses said they only had a very strong antihistamine available to give me, pretty sure it was Zyrtec.
30 minutes later I had to take the rest of the day off because I was extremely drowzy and could barely walk in a straight line.
Never taking that stuff again
I'm not sure what I'm allergic to though. I had a scratch test and was told I'm severely allergic but they can't pinpoint exactly to what.
My breathing capacity dropped to 7% when the pulmonologist tried a general collection of allergens at the end of the test.
I responded to every allergen on the scratch test but in my daily life I don't experience any symptoms of allergy nor do I take any antihistamines.
Other than that one time at the hospital I've never had an allergic reaction.
Should I get re-tested? It's been a few years and since then I've had half of my right lung removed in surrgery due to an unrelated medical condition.
My general breathing capacity is 50-60% now so if I do get an allergic attack my chances of suffocation are significantly increased.
