Allergy Headaches
Hi there,
I was wondering if you could help with occasional headache relief. Right now I use tylonol or ibuprofen. I wake up with very stuffy nose every morning and middle of the night. I have 3 cats and am allergic. I no longer let them sleep with me but the room still has their fur everywhere no matter how much I vacuum. I’m usually fine during the day, but the allergies are terrible at night. I tried some allergy pills but they have sucralose in it or titanium dioxide… I get headaches behind my eyes, above and below on top cheek bone, also between my eyebrows. I have a migraine stick with peppermint in it and does the trick for light headaches, but not the severe ones. I have to have an ice pack on my forehead and top of the head all day and it helps with the pain but I can’t get anything done. I also think the headaches sometimes come from lack of sleep, because I can’t breathe at night…

Hi @ivona_n – as an animal lover, I understand the struggle. I’m glad you’re not letting them into the bedroom anymore – that will definitely help.
-For rapid relief, homeopathy can be amazing if you find the right remedy. For the symptoms you shared, consider the homeopathic remedy called Kali Bichromicum 30C. This is best used for the following symptoms:
-
Headaches centered between the eyebrows and behind the eyes
-
Sinus pressure and pain (especially over the cheekbones)
-
Thick post-nasal drip or stuffy nose, worse in the morning
-
Headaches relieved by cold applications
During flare-ups, this can be taken once or twice per day (30c potency). And stop when symptoms improve. Repeat only when needed.
I also like to dilute my homeopathic pellets in water but it’s not necessary. So I’ll add 1 pellet to about 150mL of room temperature water. Stir and allow it to melt (~1 minute), then I take 1 Tbsp of that water as often as needed. I let it sit in my mouth for5-10 secs before swallowing.
-You can also take a look at our allergy relief protocol if you haven’t yet seen it. I share my stinging nettle tea & onion peel tea infusion recipe, and other supplement considerations that are natural anti-histamines.
-Also consider an Ultra HEPA air filter in your bedroom and opening your windows frequently (weather permitting). This can make a huge difference with cat allergens. I share my favorite options HERE in the Beginner’s Health Roadmap. Ultra HEPA also captures mycotoxins.
-Finally, make sure to wash sheets and pillowcases frequently in hot water as well.
Hope these help.
