Our office often has pharmaceutical sales representatives stop in to see the other doctors in hopes they would prescribe their drugs over a competitors. So the sales rep tells me he used to represent allergy medicine and,
"The allergy doctor said, 'If I recommend my patients use a neti pot for their allergy problems, I wouldn't have a job."
A simple cleansing of the nasal passages with a saline solution mixture is much easier and cheaper than spending time and money at the doctor on pills and sprays that don't work as good as salt water!
There are many forms of self-treatment for a variety of conditions. Some conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stress, back pain, and shoulder problems can actually be treated without the use of medicine or surgery.
Self treatment does take some effort. Do something for yourself!
