Have you been able to buy them over here, Sacha? I could do with

them
also.


Pam in Bristol


I've never seen them over here. OTOH, I've never looked for them,

either
because I had no idea Lobelia was used for this. I found this site
which is
in UK and stocks them: http://www.herbalmed.co.uk/cat2_1.htm
They're £5.45 for 100 but worth it if one suffers badly from this
nuisance..


They should sell well in Lincolnshire. Allegedly.

Probably would but could someone explain in Lincs terms what "post nasel
drip" is? Are we talking about dewdrops?


and where exactly do you put the lobelias to stop it?


In your nostrils, of course. You would look silly walking around with the
lobelias pushed into any other orifices.
And would simple tufts of cottonwool not be as effective?
