I have been doing these excercises for about 3 months, and I have noticed a distinct improvement in my allergies. Prior to beginning these "rites", I experienced annoying and regular (year round) sneezing and watery eyes. The difference has been staggering; it used to be I couldn't leave the house without antihistimines and half a box of Kleenex, now I very rarely sneeze, never have watery eyes, and can breathe fully, clearly, and comfortably through my nose. I can't think of anything else to attribute these differences to. I know it sounds odd, but the improvements have been tremendous.
