Ibtisam Posted June 10, 2008 Are you sure it is not Abufaas? rather than Vaseline I guess even if it does not work, you will have a soft nose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Urban Posted June 10, 2008 Hay fever! Never heard of using vaseline for that. I bought these useless pills but they didn't work. I slept with a completely blocked nose the other night, and kept waking up every hour to sip water cuz of my dry throat. What about the itchy eyes?

Chimera Posted June 10, 2008 a good Somali method to combat a blocked nose is: -hot water -a spoon -some salt take the spoon - add the hot water - then add some salt and then pour it into your nose. The salty warm water will open the doorways of your nose and you will be able to breath and smell through it moments later trust me my mother used to this to me as a kid all the time, and it worked Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valenteenah. Posted June 10, 2008 Adam, you don't put vaseline in your nose, you put it around the nostrils and the eyes - the vaseline acts as a trap for pollen. Urban, honey helps a little with the sore throat. But by far the most effective method is medication. Antihistamine tablets, nasal spray and allergy eye drops - use them together and you are home free. None of the 'natural remedies' work for severe hay-fever symptoms.
