hayfever

[kerryl]

My Grandma used to swear by vaseline up your nose as a remedy to hay fever. My husband tried it and it does seem to help!! little bit of vaseline on a cotton bud and just wipr inside nostril. Not sure if you should do it to kids though.

Yes, the greasy vaseline "catches" the pollen and prevents it getting to your nasal passages.

Another good remedy is to eat locally produced honey on a regular basis - not loads, just a teaspoon a day - as this builds up your immunity to the local pollen. Works too, but not as quickly as the vaseline remedy.

glad my grandma wasn't completely bonkers then! Unfortunately we have not had much of a summer here yet to generate pollen.
