If you have allergies, nature is, unfortunately, not your friend. The pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds or indoor allergens like furry pets or dust can cause the inside of your nose to become swollen and, sometimes, itchy. When this happens, your body makes mucus to “trap” all those irritating allergens. Then, all that gooey mucus can keep coming out. Sometimes, if you’re less lucky, it wants to come out of your nose but--can't. So instead, it goes backward into your sinuses and/or your throat, causing sinus pain, headaches or a yucky cough and throat irritation.

I can finally breathe!
I can finally breathe! I haven’t been able to breath through both nostrils for years! Since I started using allermi I can breathe! I use it in the morning and night right before bed. Thank you allermi! Josephine K
Supper effective. Highly recommend!
This literally has been the most effective spray I have tried...and I have tried many. Fast acting with restriction free breathing for hours to come. Sometimes I experience the occasional breakthrough of symptoms late afternoon / early evening, but the second dose in the evening before bed lasts through late morning (well past the time for the morning dose). I can't remember the last time I've been able to breath this clearly. Needless to say, I highly recommend. Kevin L
Most of the time I forget how badly I used to struggle with my allergies!
I genuinely can’t believe how good this product is. I used to sneeze all day and night - my roommate would make fun of how many tissues I went through a day. I woke up congested, and got too used to going to sleep with my mouth wide open. I remember telling a friend how I hated mornings, and was miserable until like… 3pm, because of how bad my allergies were. Now I feel like I can fully enjoy my days. I get better sleep. And honestly I forget I had so many nasal issues before. I feel like a new person! Drew M
Use a CPAP but you're always stuffed up?
I've been sleeping with a cpap and barely breathing for a year because my nose was always stuffed. 2 weeks in and i breathe so much easier and night and feel rested when i sleep Jeffrey W
Big difference!
It’s made a big difference! Took a little to start working. Not so much a “wow, I can feel this!” but more of a “wow, I DONT feel that!” thing… with “that” being chronic congestion. Worth it! Taylor M
