Interesting, that’s the second report I’ve heard of mentioning this effect. Are these seasonal (pollen) allergies?

Same for black cumin oil - was recommended by a friend who says she got rid of her allergies completely.

  Out of curiosity, do you mean Elwendia Persica or Nigella Sativa?

      The first time I heard about it was while monitoring medical news about treatments during the epidemic - because researchers in Pakistan, then Saudi Arabia, gave credit to the idea of trying Nigella Sativa. See e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8364675/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8364675/
