I have a seasonal allergic rhinitis to Ambrosia artemisiifolia (aka "ragweed") and I was dependent on nasal corticoid and oral antihistaminic daily in the ragweed season (generally from the end of July/begin of August until mid October).

However, I have discovered that taking two pills per day (both in the morning) of Artemisa annua (aka "wormwood") extract (produced by Swanson) was having the same fully allievating (anti-secretant and anti-ithcing, thus antihistaminic) effect as taking both a standard oral antihistaminic plus a nasal corticoid dose.

If you didn't study this effect yet, I really think it deserves a double blind randomized clinical trial in Romania, on subjects priorly skin tested (by Prick test) not to be allergic to that Artemisa annua (aka "wormwood") extract.

What do you think?

Thank you in advance for your answer!
