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.

Only you would know that Val. Who knew the logic behind it? Not I! Ileen,Vaseline traps pollen,never ever looked at it like that. Interesting alayleeh smile.gif

 

Adam/Zay,L0L indeed iga dheh smile.gif

Abufaash stems from the logo of one of the brand which had a hand holding hammer on it. You know hammer in somali is call faash, so it's abufaash. So yeah kinda like vicks.

Hammer is burus, duqa. Reer Waqooyiga ayaa 'faas' dhahaan miyaa? Faas Koonfurta waxaa loogu yaqaanaa bahalka geedaha lagu gooyo.

Cara.   

Keep em coming, Adam. I'll try anything, even if it involves wrestling a hippo by the light of the full moon.

 

Last year, loratidine+pseudoephedrine worked like a charm, but it's not so reliable this year. Sometimes it works within 30 minutes and lasts all day, other times I might as well have had a sugar pill :(

You need one of these (not Vicks).

Chop the onion and put it in the bowl. Add as much sugar as you like. Leave for no more than 24 hours. After a while, you will notice a liquid in the bowel. Have yourself a couple of spoons of that liquid and your problem shall be sorted. If not, resort to Abu Faas. :D
