Stop Picking Your Nose For Allergy Relief

The mucous membranes of the nose are some of the most sensitive in the human body. To obtain nasal allergy relief, several things may be done.

There are medications which can be taken in the form of pills, which are taken orally, shots which a physician must administer in the muscle, or nasal sprays, which are sprayed directly into the nostrils, & there are even devices that "wash" the nasal cavities, similar to the dental irrigation devices on the market.

These irrigating devices free bacteria, pollens & other foreign substances from the nose by washing the inside of the nostrils with a gentle stream of water, or with a mild saline solution.

A small nostril cup that holds a small amount of water is a simple, yet effective way for hydrating the nasal passages, which many people do not realize is important to practice when seeking nasal allergy relief. Many problems occur when the nasal passages are not kept moist & clean. Did you know that one of the best ways to obtain relief is to blow your nose every couple of hours!

In addition, one of the worst things people do, & one of the nastiest habits they practice is picking their nose! Human hands are some of the filthiest things on the planet, and when people pick their nose, they introduce hundreds of bacteria & foreign objects into their nasal cavities.

Washing your hands very often during the day will aid in averting this problem. Not inserting fingers in the nostrils and using bath tissue to blow the nose & clean it is a better habit to embrace and will certainly be better for your nostrils. If you can't get all of the foreign matter out of the nostrils, then the use of hydrating or irrigating devices are in order. Hydrating the nasal cavities will loosen most of the matter & bacteria, imparting nasal allergy relief.

There are also very good herbal remedies which may be taken as dried herbs in capsules, or in the form of herbal teas, which are very effective in relief for your nose.

Grape seed extracts, green tea, nettle tea, aloe vera, and as an internal boost to the immune system, olive leaf extract, will all aid in keeping your nose clear when used on a regular basis. Green tea & aloe vera juice may also be added to the water solution in the nasal cavity irrigation device, soothing the mucous membranes & giving the sufferer nasal allergy relief.
