Question
I just developed post nasal drip.  I have never had it before.  I do not have any sinus congestion, no stuffy nose and no pressure.  I just have this constant drip in my throat.  What natural remedies are there for this condition?  Thanks for your help.

Answer
Hi Lisa,
What I would try is bee pollen. You could also buy some bee propolis. Take one capsule of each in the morning and see how it effects you. If you're ok with it, do it again in the afternoon. Buy bee pollen that says it's from a variety of sources. I get mine from Y.S. Organic Bee Farms on vitacost.com. Their products are organic (and fresh) so you're not taking in pesticides. But any organic bee pollen would do.
Next day take two of each morning and afternoon. Do this for a week and by then I'd be surprised if you're not totally over this condition! Then you may be able to cut back to one each morning and afternoon. I used to have severe hay fever and was selling honeybee products at the same time. I was my own best customer and took a LOT of bee pollen. This was in the late 1980's so I can't remember how long it took but I'm immune to springtime allergies now.
Please let me know if I've helped and if I can be of further service. Suz
