Hayfever - has anyone tried the Lloyds Pharmacy allergy reliever?

[Lilymaid]

I bought an allergy reliever this week on recommendation of work colleague, but it is too early to tell whether it is worth the money. Anyone else tried it? I've had hayfever since childhood and usually treat with eye drops, nasal spray and tablets. It causes a lot of amusement with the family seeing me with two prongs up my nose which is illiuminated with red light!

According to the accompanying booklet it "works by using phototherapy of two different wavelengths. One wavelength promotes increased blood flow and circulation and the second wavelength (red light therapy) suppresses the cells that release histamine and reduces inflammation, thereby relieving the irritating symptoms of allergic rhinitus"
Is this likely ... or a load of bolleaux?

I bought one last year and it seemed to help if I used it a lot. Still had to take antihistamines though

Lloyd's claims are based on a single paper from more than 10 years ago, with very poor methodology, which got equivocal results and which has never been repeated.

After a Trading Standards intervention, they had to change the blurb from "clinically proven" to "clinically tested". Brilliant! I may "clinically test" my ability to walk on water, then market myself as the second coming regardless of how wet I get...

Interesting apostrophe, sorry.

I got one a few years ago.
Total bollocks as I had to have my sinus's cleaned out a year later!!!!
