I anecdotally concur. I never had allergies until my early to mid 20's, despite living in a very high allergen area. Now every other year or so I end up with bad allergies for a few weeks, and a persistent post-nasal drip that makes me cough and sound sick for extended periods of time.

You should try eating a spoonful of raw honey everyday— something which I'd just learned about myself! I'm usually not much one for holistic remedies, but I was surprised at how effective this was at alleviating my own allergies. Although I suppose this cure is a far cry from crystal healing; it's basically just sugary syrup and pollen, and you can imagine how this method works.

I've heard of that (but also with the suggestion to get local honey), but haven't remembered to try it when experiencing allergies, and it's just more sugar the rest of the time...
