Oh my seasonal allergies have kicked up! My kids are suffering too, since in Nevada we have seasonal issues 10 out of 12 months–there is always something pollinating. In the spirit of finding something that does not make me drowsy or feeling foggy the next day, Jennifer at the Eczema Company, sent me a bottle of Allergex to test out late spring. Traditional over the counter allergy medications like Zyrtec, do the job quickly, but then leave me foggy for a good 24 hours. I’m a medication light weight! I tried out the Allergex and didn’t think much was happening. It’s an easy to use, under the tongue homeopathic remedy. Boy was I wrong. It did make a difference! Special note: My family has always used a combination of traditional Western Medication supported by homeopathic remedies and or Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). We always follow the direction of our board certified physicians and if needed, we seek out second opinions. We tell them if we are using homeopathic remedies or TCM as some contradict other medications. Always check with your physician before you change or update your health care plan. Now, that I’ve shared my special notes, back to allergy business: I was pleased to determine that yes, indeed I was finding some relief from Allergex! I stopped taking it and lo and behold, I was congested again. I assumed it had to due with more things pollinating.
Nevertheless, I started back up again and I’m finding the edge has been taken off. I’m now making sure I don’t miss a daily dosing! I think I have found my personal magic combination: I am combining the Allergex and eight hours of sleep. I am not perfect all the time, but I’m not miserable enough to have to take over the counter anti-histamines that place me smack in the middle of foggy brain land. Also, my daughter likes using Allergex and shares that she is taking her Claritan less and less.
Discount and Disclaimer: Disclaimer first: Jennifer did not ask me to write anything nice, but simply sent me a bottle in hopes me testing it out. Since my results were good, I’m sharing. It’s my personal goal to always share items that have enhanced my family’s life or to share items that maybe didn’t work out for us, but may work out for you!

I use several of their products that have worked well on our sensitive skins, but I’m taking a closer look their laundry products right now. My son seems to be reacting to my current laundry products–even though I’ve been using them for years.
One of the hardest things I find about managing both life threatening food allergies and asthma is talking to others. I hate to be the one that might be perceived as demanding, pushing or for asking too much. What I now know, fourteen years later, is that honest, clear information presented with kindness works!..
I’m a big fan of combining natural medicines alongside prescribed medicine, we use Homeopathy too, as well as Naet and Acupuncture. I will be ordering some Allergex, it sounds great xx
