Hay Fever tips are a bit like pollen. There are so many flying around, it’s difficult to know what to do. So HayMax creator thought he’d gather together all the best ones that have helped him, in a memorable way …  just remember ALLERGENS…

A – Antihistamines. Antihistamine tablets and capsules can relieve most hay fever symptoms – sneezing, itchy, runny eyes, skin irritation, itchy nose and throat.

L – Limit. Limit your exposure to pollen by vacuuming furniture regularly, keeping pets clean and windows shut.

L – Love. Lots of sex helps your hay fever!  At the point of orgasm the sympathetic nervous system constricts blood vessels across the body and an Iranian neurologist has suggested that this could help with hay fever. What could be a more pleasant way to deal with hay fever than that? Although there may be some practical issues around timing and locations!

E – Eyes. When going outdoors, wear wrap-around sunglasses to prevent pollen particles coming in contact with your eyes.

R – Relax. Stress exacerbates your symptoms so try to keep calm. Practice mindfulness techniques and meditation and limit your screen time.

G – Going out. Try to avoid going out peak pollen times – early in the morning and in the early evening – but if you can’t avoid these times, take your allergen barrier balm with you.

E – Eat red onions and apples, which contain the natural antihistamine quercetin. Pineapple contains bromelain helping the absorption of quercetin, and garlic helps reduce excess catarrh.

N – Nasal allergen barrier balm. We would say this wouldn’t we! But HayMax organic drug-free allergen barrier balms are designed specifically for hay fever sufferers, are invisible when applied around the base of the nostrils and the bones of the eyes, and in the most recet independent survey 80% said HayMax works.

S – Steroid nasal sprays. These reduce inflammation in the nose and work best for clearing nasal symptoms – itching, sneezing, watering and congestion.
