It was also $87 for 90 day supply. It is deductible but that is rediculous. I add bake nag soda and salt in plain water to rinse. That is it.
I had a doctor tells me to use the saline nasal rinse before going outside and then when coming indoors. I used to use Nasal Crom. CROM, NOT CORT. and it really worked. Look it up, not you but others.

But I can't use any nasal sprays anymore, so I am getting the grape seed extract. thanks

Give it a good chance, this year's allergy issues have been horrid for many I hear. It's affected me too. I end up stuffed up during the night and use a bit of Vicks salve to clear me out. Not every night but did last night so went thru the Vicks thing. Also a little Tiger Balm opens up the nasal cavaties. Still no drugs for me so I know grape seed ex works and I had no issues for 20 yrs...this year has been another story. Here in CA it's so dry, no rain for 5 yrs.

I am in Florida and it has been a record breaking hot and wet year. I have been taking the pyc and grapeseed, and they help but I still have terrible allergies, especially with the massive amounts of rain we have had. I feel best when it is sunny with medium humidity (not too wet or dry) It really wreaks havoc on my health.

The night before last I woke up at 4AM all stuffy etc and started with dabbing the Vicks and got back to sleep...so last night I dabbed with Vicks before I went to bed, and slept thru the night with no stuffy issues. So I think I found a sweet spot for a while. I'll do the Vicks nightly. I rub my feet with Vicks most nights too. I have found a renewed interest in old time Vicks.

Our weather is opposite so for you it's not the dry air.
