Rush Hour Allergies

One of the scariest drives I have ever taken, and I try to avoid it, is going through the Dallas Ft. Worth area at rush hour. It’s crazy stressful. The interstates grow overwhelmed with traffic, causing backups throughout the entire region.

How does this relate to the human body, in particular to seasonal allergies?

In the nasal passages, capillaries, cells, mucous membranes, and passages start to back up because their major thoroughfares grow congested. Since they have already been traumatized, from backed up traffic, there is an overreaction to offending allergens, including the cells own immune response. Overwhelmed, they reply with additional histamine, mucus, and other autoimmune responses like cytokine storms, creating even more inflammation.

Simple Salve tightens up the mucosa membranes because it stimulates involuntary muscle contractions, clearing out the thoroughfares, including the larger ones, so that the little boulevards and side streets can get moving again. Now they can handle a dose of cedar tree pollen, mold, pet dander, and other airborne pollen and pathogens, because they’re no longer overwhelmed by them.

Think of rush hour in the Dallas/Ft Worth area as a wave of allergens descending upon us, and there is the analogy. Accidents, angry, harried, rushing drivers creating ever more stress and backups.

Clear out major passages and the little side streets are no longer plugged up.

To clear up allergies, take a pea sized amount of the Simple Salve and place it on the tongue and push it to the roof of the mouth. It will tighten up the nasal passages and dump the gunk.

Just ask Fernie.


Rhinitis is irritation and inflammation of the mucous membrane inside the nose. Common symptoms are a stuffy nose, runny nose, sneezing, and post-nasal drip.

Degranulation in mast cells is part of an inflammatory response, and substances such as histamine are released.
