Homeostasis Labs Allergy Relief, 50-Count

Do you wake up in the morning with watery eyes and post nasal drip? That was me -- especially in the spring, and especially this spring, as I've been moving boxes and sorting lots of paper. I tried these melt-on-your-tongue homeopathic pills with no great hopes, but geez -- am I a convert! The cool dispenser pack's instructions say you can take these up to 4 times each day, and I typically do. No side effects, no real taste, no interaction with food or drugs, no dry mouth -- nothing but relief.UPDATE BELOW:I'd give these a five-star rating but for a few ordering problems: Shared my second order with a friend, then tried to place another quick turnaround Prime order the same day, but Amazon was out of stock, and shipping costs made ordering from the other source cost prohibitive. Now that they're back in stock on Amazon, they're a full six dol-lrs more than they are at other online outlets.Amazon, please reprice accordingly!!!Update -- Amazon is restocking these at the right price, so I'm bumping my 4 star rating to 5 star -- thanks for listening!

I take this medication on top of my Allegra. It gives it the extra push to make it through allergy season.

I hesitate to write this review, because a few people are apparently benefitting from the placebo affect of these sugar pills. I really can't stand the idea that a company is making money selling people a sugar pill, however. I think people should be aware of what this product is.Notice that you can't find any information on how much of each ingredient is in these? There's a reason for that; the idea of homeopathy is that ingredients that have one effect in significant doses will do the opposite in incredibly small doses. How small? In a typical homeopathic "remedy" the ingredients are diluted so much that there is, statistically, NONE of it left. That's right. I said NONE. Not a single molecule, in most cases. The claim by homeopaths is that the water has some sort of "memory" of the substance that was once diluted with it. If you think I'm joking, look it up. I know it sounds so ludicrous it's unbelievable, but that's homeopathy.And this isn't about Western Medicine versus alternative medicine. Not even practitioners of alternative medicine believe in homeopathy! The following is a quote from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine:"Homeopathy is a controversial area of CAM [Complementary and Alternative Medicine] because a number of its key concepts are not consistent with established laws of science (particularly chemistry and physics). Critics think it is implausible that a remedy containing a miniscule amount of an active ingredient (sometimes not a single molecule of the original compound) can have any biological effect--beneficial or otherwise. For these reasons, critics argue that continuing the scientific study of homeopathy is not worthwhile. Others point to observational and anecdotal evidence that homeopathy does work and argue that it should not be rejected just because science has not been able to explain it."I'm sorry to ruin the placebo affect for people who read this review, but I feel that people should know that this company is selling nothing more than a sugar pill.

I don't know what in this is supposed to help my allergies but it didn't do a thing for me. Oh! Now I get it! They are supposed to help my ALLERGIES! Not help protect me FROM my allergies! So that's why I got worse when I used these! Just kidding. I have tried some of the other Homeostasis Labs products that have helped. The Homeostasis Labs Sleep Relief and the Homeostasis Labs Stress Relief have both worked rather well for me. Since I have had problems with allergies most of my life I wanted to give these a try. But unlike the other Homeostasis Labs products that I've used, these didn't do a thing for me. Maybe I would have had more luck if my allergies were just a mild problem. So if you have a really bad allergy problem I wouldn't recommend trying these. On the other hand if you have just a mild problem with them and only need occasional relief maybe these will help. But for me I'm going back to my Benadryl.

I noticed very little improvement. As a matter of fact, I've had more success calming down an allergy attack by drinking a hot cup of coffee when the itching in my throat and sneezing begins. Definitely, not a repurchase for me.

Update: 2018- It's hard to find this product anywhere now, but I really really love it.This allergy medication SAVED me during allergy season! I seriously have the WORST seasonal allergies. I am so so allergic to pollen and dust, and when the trees are blooming, I am a goner. I am used to non stop watering eyes and nose, misery.But this product, actually gave me relief! I was able to work, and even wear light makeup without feeling like crap after.Non drowsy, easy to carry in purse or car, and fast acting. I usually get relief within 15-30 minutes.Awesome formula in this product. I will keep purchasing!

This "homeostasis" allergy relief takes the allergy edge off. It's not as helpful as some other allergy medicine, but it's better than nothing.
