What’s so special about homeopathy for Hay Fever?

Hay Fever used to be a personal struggle for me every July.  I remember the ordeal of a constant streaming nose and eyes like it was yesterday.

Getting relief is essential if you get symptoms, and you may have tried various anti-histamines, been prescribed steroids or even been referred for immunotherapy.

Homeopathy

I’ve tried lots of different things but the most effective was Homeopathy. Now I rarely get symptoms.

What’s so different is that you are given deep treatment before the season even starts and then again the following winter. This is to help build up resistance and susceptibility to pollen during the summer. You can also take a hay fever combo when the pollen is at its highest alongside anti-histamines if you need to.

“Just wanted to give you a little update: the homeopathic pills for hay fever worked very well even now the pollen count is very high!”  FS Bishops Waltham . 

It may be necessary to repeat this for a couple of seasons depending on how long and how severe your symptoms are. Gradually each year your symptoms should reduce and hopefully finally stop.

This method can also help other allergies.

“Hi Cathy I have some great news: the last “version” of remedies you gave me have had a very definite positive result! It appears to have worked pretty close to 100% !  Magic when you hit the nail on the head!” Mr M G, London. ( allergy sufferer for 40 years).

Research conducted by the US National Library of Medicine shows that Hay Fever symptoms can be ‘significantly alleviated’ with homeopathy.

Hay Fever Key Facts & Useful Tips:

Symptoms are usually worst in mid-summer and can include red, sore or itching eyes, sneezing, runny nose, itchy palate, throat or mouth, wheezing, coughing or tight chest.

If you only have a few mild symptoms on a handful of days in the summer you may be keeping them under control taking the occasional anti-histamine bought at a pharmacy. However, there are lots of effective and natural ways to lessen exposure to pollen and reduce suffering.

Additional non-invasive natural treatment:

  • Support your gut health by taking a daily probiotic and kefir and kombucha Research shows that using a daily probiotic can reduce symptoms by as much as 64%.
  • A wonderful supplement called Aller-G from Cytoplan which contains Quercetin and Vitamin C and can be very helpful.
  • A daily teaspoon of local raw honey such as Itchen Valley Honey available at West Lea Farm Shop in Itchen Stoke,  can often help reduce overall symptoms.
  • Use a barrier cream such as beeswax on the end of your nose to help reduce pollen effects.

Self-help tips to help reduce your exposure to pollen:

  • Do not sit or walk on grass, especially if it’s newly mown.
  • Download the Met Office weather app so you can keep an eye on daily pollen count forecasts and avoid going outside if it is high. 
  • As soon as you get indoors take off outside clothing and wash your face and/shower.
  • Close bedroom windows at night and car windows when driving.
  • Avoid drying washing outdoors to reduce pollen getting into the house.
  • Wear sunglasses to help prevent pollen from getting in your eyes.
  • Check if your car has pollen filters and if not consider installing them.
  • Vacuum often, using an appliance designed for allergies.
