5.0 out of 5 stars
Surprisingly Effective, 27 Jun 2007
This review is from: Medinose PLUS 45030 Hayfever and Allergy Treatment (Personal Care)
I must admit that when I read about this, I was sceptical... a couple of lights to shove up your nose that can cure hayfever?! However, having tried everything else under the sun to try to decrease my havfever symptoms (including herbal medicines that did nothing, and over-the-counter-medicines that just made me feel like falling asleep), I thought I'd give it a go.
The first thing to say is that when you have this switched on, you look hilarious! It makes your whole nose glow red, which I hadn't realised (I wondered why my father-in-law started singing "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" the first time I used it!), so it's probably best to use it somewhere where you won't feel self-conscious. But... it works for me!
Within a minute of finishing a treatment, my blocked nose starts to clear (sometimes one nostril more than the other, but usually both). I do then have to keep blowing my nose for a couple of minutes until it totally clears, but that's no different to what most hayfever sufferers have to do anyway! Thereafter, I get several hours of either little or no hayfever symptoms. As far as I am concerned, it is fantastic!
Since I bought this (a couple of weeks ago), I have typically only used it once to twice a day, as this has brought my symptoms well under control, and made any remaining symptoms easily bearable. I am now going to start using it three times a day as recommended to see if I can elminate my symptoms entirely.
Obviously this might not work for everybody, but if your hayfever symptoms make you feel as lousy as mine did, it's got to be worth a try, and won't cost you more than a couple of nights out.

Fully Recommended by serious hayfever victim!, 8 May 2008
This review is from: Medinose PLUS 45030 Hayfever and Allergy Treatment (Personal Care)
I recommend this product to anyone who is sick of depending on nose sprays, nasal irrigation and eye drops to deal with their hayfever. I suffer from perrenial rhinitis (hayfever that lasts all year round) and my main symptoms are blocked nose, itchy eyes and itchy skin. I've been using this product for about 6 weeks now and I can't recommend it enough. It has reduced my need for nose sprays and eyed drops up to 90% (however, I still use tablets for the itchy skin).
I believe that if medinose can work for someone whose symptoms are as bad as mine, then it will work for almost anyone (with similar symptoms). Go ahead and try it, its definately worth the price (compared to what i've spent over the years on different treatments). To anyone who does buy it, here's some advice:
1. it takes a week to really notice the difference
2. make sure you put the nose plugs as far up your nose as possible (trust me its not uncomfortable)
3. make sure you change the battery (which should last about 5 weeks with regular use) as soon as the green light starts flashing, otherwise you won't be getting a proper treatment.
Hopefully it will work as well for you as it has for me. Good Luck!

Sceptical but well impressed with results, 30 Dec 2007
This review is from: Medinose PLUS 45030 Hayfever and Allergy Treatment (Personal Care)
This is the first time I have been impressed enough with any product to bother writing a review. I was sceptical about the product but desperate due to 20+ years suffering with allergies to dust / smoke / animals which reduced my sense of smell to almost nothing and continually gave me hay fever like symptoms all year around. Once I started using Medinose there was an improvement after just a couple of days use and after about 2 weeks my sense of smell was back and that 'blocked' feeling throughout my head gone! Using the product is easy although I haven't had the guts to use it in front of my kids as I don't think I could take the 'red nose jokes' as the lights do shine through brightly. Got to recommend this as an option if you have been told like I was to go on sprays and tablets for the rest of your life as the only relief.
