Anyone with sinus congestion wants to relieve the pressure to stop the intense headache and malaise from allergies.

Finding unique ways to reduce the symptoms of allergies is a great way to feel better quickly without medical treatment.

  1. If you know what is causing them to act up, try to stay away from that substance. Allergy shots may also help control allergy symptoms as well. Avoid yardwork (raking and mowing) which stirs up both pollen and mold. If you must do yardwork, wear a mask and take an antihistamine beforehand. Avoid smoking and/or inhaling secondhand smoke. Eliminate aersol sprays, perfumes, room deordorizers, cleaning products and etc. Keep your house as dust-free as possible. Consider using an air conditioner or air purifier with a HEPA filter.

    Eating raw Garlic and Onions will provide relief as well. The more you use the faster the relief will come.

It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
