• Stuffed nose – cook grapefruit, lemon or orange peel, including the pith in honey water, occasionally stirring, until the peel becomes spongy.  Don’t cook it for too long unless you fell like having candied peel.
During the hay fever season, eat a piece of peel the instant the first symptoms appear and another piece before going to sleep.
The materials in the peel are anti-inflammatory and assist in drying out the mucus membrane.
• Take two nettle (Urtica Dioica) capsules once every 15 minutes during an attack.  As soon as the attack has passed, make sure to take the capsules four times a day as a preventative measure.
