1. Neti Pot for sinus rinse:

Earthen Neti pot has been used for many generations in India for sinus rinse. It has been effective in clearing sinus passage of allergens and prevents sinus issues.

Similar Neti Pot was developed by NeilMed with kids friendly easy to use design.

Our pediatrician recommended this to us as first line of defense instead of directly going for Albuterol treatment for congested sinus and lungs.

Both my kids rinse their sinuses using this Neti Pot at first sign of congestion and have been able to stay away from Albuterol for many years.

This product has been so helpful not just clearing the sinus but also easing their congestion that my kids now themselves ask when they feel the need.

2. Xlear Sinus Care:

Xlear Sinus Care is Saline Nasal spray which we have been able to use as replacement for flonase.

It washes out pollutants and allergens from Nasal passage and stops them from sticking there. It is a natural product and can be used without side effects.

Xlear has been very effective in treating congestion even from ear canals and hence treating ear infections. It has helped us avoid the ear surgery to place ear tubes !!

3. Similasan Eye drops for itchy eyes:

If you are one of those people whose eyes start watering or gets itchy during allergy season then Similasan has some great natural products for itchy eyes. We have used their Pink Eye relief for eye allergies and it is very effective. Without 30 minutes it starts having effect. They also have other variety as well for more specific eye challenges.

Hope you find these three natural remedies helpful in preventing and treating seasonal allergies.
