Quick allergy relief

Advantages: cheapest available, instant action, no side effects
Disadvantages: only available in small packs

...I've only been suffering from hayfever in the last couple of years, and am lucky enough to not suffer from any other allergies. My symptoms for hayfever are pretty standard - itchy/watery eyes, runny nose, headaches and sneezes. It's not so bad that I feel awful with it, but the symptoms are very irritating - so I try to manage them. So, I can only comment on how these tablets affected me & not how they would work for someone that has a more severe case of hayfever than myself. I personally find the price of hayfever and allergy tablets on the expensive side, and when they come in packs of 7 or 14 and you need to take a tablet a day, this can soon mount up. This is why I tried Tesco's own version, as it was the cheapest option available at the time. These also come in packs of 7 and 14, I always opt for the larger packs as they...

Review of Tesco Non-Drowsy Hayfever and Allergy Relief

Seasonal orgasm relief by Tesco

Advantages: Cheap, easily accessible, actually work!
Disadvantages: None

...It?s ?that? time of year again and if like me you suffer from Hayfever you?ll know what a pain in the rear it is trying to find suitable relief that is not only kind on your pocket but actually works! I?ve suffered with this allergy since the age of 11 and was told back then that I would probably grow out of it. Unfortunately now at the age of 32 my hopes of that are almost out of the window and so I?ve come to terms with the fact that I?ll have to endure the yearly suffering and continue my pursuit in finding medication that works and doesn?t cost a fortune. Now, over the years I have tried various products that claim to work fast to relieve most symptoms caused by hayfever, though some of these have worked I do find that you soon become immune to them and they are nine times out of ten the most expensive brands. As with all...

Bruise relief

Advantages: Seems to clear up bruises
Disadvantages: Careful how you use it

...Arnica bruise relief On a recent quad biking experience, Little Miss managed to crash into a tree and fall down a ditch. Thankfully, apart from a small cut and some HUGE bruises, she was fine, and even went quad biking again. The bruises were of some concern to me because not only was the big one on her leg causing her some discomfort, but they looked awful. I had heard about arnica being good for bruises, but never having used it before, I did a little bit of a finding out exercise before rushing out to buy it. WHAT IS IT? Arnica (Arnica montana) has been used for medicinal purposes since the 1500s and remains popular today to soothe muscle aches, reduce inflammation, and heal wounds and it is often the first remedy used for injuries such as sprains and bruises. Arnica in herbal form is primarily restricted to external use...

Medication allergies

Advantages: hopefully i have given some lifesaving advice
Disadvantages: it is still quite harm for me to write about my experience in detail as i am still shaken up by it

...were called Trimethoprim. Within about a minute my legs, arms and tummy were itching quite badly but I just assumed it was one of my usual allergies as they flare up quite often for no reason, so I trundled down stairs to take some antihistamines to give me some relief from the itching. But by the time I got downstairs the itching was really intense and my throat, ears, nose, mouth and eyes were all itching unbearably. I still did not link the reaction to the antibiotics and took double the dose of antihistamine that I would normally take as I wanted it to kick in fast. I should just say here that it is really not advisable to take more than the recommended dose of any medication but fortunately in this situation it was what saved me life as my allergy was so severe. Anyway, about another 30 seconds later (around 3-4 minutes after...

Flixonase - Best allergy relief on the market

Advantages: Works immediately and is sustainable
Disadvantages: Does not help with ichy eyes

...I have tried many hayfever remedies over the years but have yet to find one that cures at least two of the symptoms...until now. Generally I would go for tablets such as antihistamines for ease and in my opinion I thought they were more affective than the sprays, wax or powders on the market. However, after having a particularly bad summer of allergies last year, I decided to investigate the best cures on the market and came across Flixonase. I was skeptical at first because of it's spray form but I thought it was a fair price to at least try it. On the first use I saw immediate affects! Taking it in the middle of a high pollen the day I felt my nose clear, my sinuses relaxed and the lightheadedness disappeared. My throat didn't itch and my ears didn't water. It has event stood the test of the park, which has many trees and bushes full...

Review of Flixonase Nasal Spray

Good relief for the summer

Advantages: Quick relief from hayfever symptoms
Disadvantages: none

...It`s coming to the time of year that all hayfever suffer`s dont like and being a hayfever sufferer myself I am planning on heading to the GP to get my usual hayfever medication which includes Opticrom eyedrops, Rhinocourt nasal spray and Triludan tablets. Without the Opticrom eyedrops I dont know what I would do during the summer months, they are absolutely execellent. What are the drops used for? Opticrom eyedrops are used for eye allergies, hayfever, dust mites and pet hairs. Opticrom is available both on prescription and over the counter at most chemists. (not sure of the price as I get mine on prescription) Opticrom eyedrops come either in 5ml (125 drops) or 10ml (250 drops) bottles it is used to give relief to itchy, red puffy eyes. The box is small and is blue and white in colour, with opticrom wrote on the front...

Pro relief? No relief

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Stabbing pains in teeth, worsening sensitivity

...I am a Bzzagent and I'm reviewing the toothpaste distributed in their latest campaign. I was sent a full sized sample of Colgate Sensitive Pro Relief, and some small samples to give out to friends and family. What does this toothpaste do? In a nutshell it's supposed to help against sensitivity by blocking tubules which, when you see the microscopic drawing, look like little holes in the tooth along the gum line. 'The open tubules are a pathway to sensitive pain' according to Colgate, and the toothpaste provides occlusion of dentine tubules. Using the Toothpaste You use the toothpaste as you would any other, brushing twice a day, paying particular attention to the gum line. You can also dab a small amount on any particularly sensitive areas close to the gum, using a small amount place on the finger tip and massaging...

For When Allergies Attack

Advantages: it does the trick
Disadvantages: well you have to pay for it,otherwise none

...I was quite surprised when my doctor diagnosed me with hayfever a few years ago. I always thought that it was something you were born with, silly me. The first remedies I tried were Clarityn Allergy tablets (which were absolutely fantastic but expensive) and Rhinolast Nasal spray which was equally good but I found I always had a bitter aftertaste after using it. Then a couple of years ago my partner came home with Beconase as the chemist we use had run out of both of the previously mentioned remedies. After much foot stamping and a chorus of "It?s not fair!"I had to give it a go, as I had nothing to lose and was feeling pretty ill and pathetic by this time. So for anyone that doesn't know hayfever, while not life threatening, is awful, you may start off with a sneeze or two followed by itchy, streaming eyes which then puff up...

Anyone for Hand Relief?

Advantages: Really improves and moisturises the skin
Disadvantages: A bit expensive

...OK I shall get the obvious double entrendre out of the way first. It always makes me giggle when my husband has been working in the garden all day and comes in and moans about how dry his hands are and I as the dutiful wife ask him if he would like some Hand Relief. This used to bring a broad smile to his face until he realised I was offering him Aveda's Hand Relief - an intensively moisturising hand cream and not something else. I first came across this product as a samples which were put into my bag after I had purchased other Aveda products (anyone who has read any of my reviews knows I am quite an Aveda afficionado) and to be honest for years I just used to bin said samples because I used another handcream. Suffering from eczema makes choosing a handcream difficult and having found one that I liked and got on with I wasn't about...
