OT - sort of. New use for Lobelia?
 

While we were in Crete, I was suffering from what is now known as 'post
nasal drip', I believe. Disgusting name but there it is.
It was annoying me so much that eventually, I asked a chemist in Elounda
village if she had anything I could take for it. I expected to be sold some
cocktail of expensive chemicals but she simply handed me a small jar of
Lobelia tablets. They work like a dream! Hope fellow-sufferers have
homeopathic stores nearby. ;-)

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

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.

Try the Tower Pharmacy in Kingswood. Go on a Saturday afternoon and speak to the old
guy who works in the health-food part. If he hasn't heard of it he'll source it and
if he sells a lot he'll reduce the price... Or just go there anyway, it's a brilliant
place, and they'll even check with the pharmacy next door to make sure nothing
clashes with any orthodox medication....

Well, he's managing to keep me in one piece:-) And the last time I was in there,
chatting away as you do, he gave me a free bottle of something for my neighbour's
kid's asthma. I didn't spot the £12.50 price tag until I was handing it over to her.
Now that's what I call a free gift:-)

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

Pass. But I had a vision of a skeletal crumbly in a long brown macintosh
(endemic to Lincs, and unknown elsewhere) and sporting a glittering drip
under his nose, pedalling a vast old bike slower than walking pace.
