Severe mesquite tree allergy
I have been researching remedies for pollen allergy and came across this site. Perhaps someone can help me determine what remedies would help me - euphrasia, belladonna, pusatilla?I have allergy induced asthma during this time of year (otherwise fine). It is VERY severe this year, lots of hacking and seal-sounding wheezing/coughing.
I also have severe eye allergies (my core problem right now, even more than the asthma I think?)
* Watery eyes
* VERY red, irritated, burning, whole face swollen
* Yellow/white discharge and stuck together in the morning
* Mornings are the worst after waking up.
* Sensitivity to light
Obviously I also have the normal allergy stuff... sneezing, runny nose, etc.
Any help on what remedy I should try first would be great. I am basically unable to function, work, or drive!
Thanks!!
