I've been taking Beconase nasal spray for a number of weeks now and I've since found out it's a corticosteroid and I've done some research online and I think this is causing me to have moods swings.
At the beginning of spring I tried taking Loratadine one a day tablets and my mood swings were really noticable after that, so I switched to Beconase and thought it was fine.
I'd like some recommendations for an over the counter natural remedy which is widely available.
Thanks!

Hi, Homeopathy uses natural remedies but you'd need to consult a homeopath, rather than buy anything over the counter. HTH Hom
I often recommend people have a teaspoon of locally made honey every day - it has to be local so that the bees have been using plants & pollens that are in your area - you are then slowly exposed to them & build up a tolerance.
Might be worth a try .......?
The crystals aquamarine and tourmaline would help. You can also get them in elixir form.
horrible - I used to have really bad hay fever so I know how awful it can be!
try the homeopathic course from the British Institute for Allergy and Environmental Therapy:

There is a homoeopathic nasal spray made by the leading German manufacturer Heel. It is called Luffa spray and can be bought online from one or two U.K. importers. Other people make Luffa sprays but the Heel products have the benefit of being extensively clinically tested. This product has worked for clients of mine and has been found in tests to be as effective as steroidal sprays.
RE hayfeaver
Hi Yogajoga, I suffered with hayfeaver since I was in my late teens always at its worst about early June. Last year I started using a local honey. I cannot say that I love honey but I can take it. I used it all winter and this year my hayfeaver has not been as bad. You could also try Zinc and vitamin b6 taken togeather.
Hope it gets better for you, it is very annoying.
There is something called "medinose" which involves inserting two prongs with light slightly inside your nose. It doesn't hurt, but it does make you look a bit odd as it lights your nose up.
There are cheaper versions around now and some people have reported really good results. I bought one for my son and it seemed to help him last year but not this year. Not sure if this year has been particularly bad for grass pollen.
