how to cope with your hay
fever naturally
If you have never suffered from hay fever you
many not realise just how debilitating it can be. Watering, sore,
red or puffy eyes, runny or stuffed up nose, headache, sore throat or
irritated skin can leave you feeling distressed and exhausted.
Some people's symptoms are worse indoors than out, others when it rains.
Even the time of day can affect you, first thing in the morning and
around 4pm in the afternoon, just as the moisture in the atmosphere
changes, so can your symptoms.
Supporting your immune system should always be your primary concern,
reflexology, aromatherapy, and
homeopathy
will help balance your body, but there are also some simple changes that you
can make at home that you may not have thought of, that can be of real
benefit for hay fever sufferers.
- Wearing sunglasses to reduce the amount of
pollen that gets into your eyes, preferably ones with lenses that
wrap around your face.
- Placing a small amount of Vaseline on a cotton
bud and gently lining the inside of your nostrils with it, to stop
pollen irritating and inflaming the nasal passages.
- Using Vitamin C or Echinacea to support
the immune system; reducing the amount of histamine that is released
into your system, just like antihistamines without making you feel
drowsy.
- Using a homeopathic tincture such as
Euphrasia tincture, which is diluted with water to rinse your eyes,
helping to reduce the irritating inflammation.
- Using a very mild aromatherapy cream such
as Chamomile to sooth irritated skin and relieve itching.
- Using an ioniser in your home or work
place to reduce the amount of pollen and dust in the atmosphere .
- Cold compresses on puffy eyes or sinuses
can reduce pain and inflammation.
- Reduce the use of other irritants such as
perfumes, perfumed make up or facial creams, air fresheners,
chemical cleaners, polish.
