A homeopathic remedy applied directly to the nasal mucous membrane with a swab or with a mist under the tongue relieves allergy and allergic rhinitis symptoms, a new study claims.

The one-week study of 42 people found that those who received the homeopathic nasal mist treatment reported an average 64 percent improvement in nasal symptoms such as sneezing, postnasal drip, and stuffy nose.
