The typical hay fever season is spring time, when flowers are about and pollen is released into the atmosphere. This adds to the constant dust particles, pushing hay fever sufferers to the limits.

This doesn’t mean that every season isn’t a problem for some people. But spring time is often the worst one.

Being outside, in the fresh air is obviously more healthy, but can be very uncomfortable if you have these sensitivities.

It’s common for windy weather to make matters worse. Especially dry winds. Moist winds tend to be less of a problem as the moisture attaches to the pollen. But dry winds stir up the pollen and dust, creating a dense, if unseen laden atmosphere.

Often, your symptoms will come on quite suddenly. Be they watery eyes or nose, itchy eyes, nose, palate or throat. Sometimes these symptoms occur individually, more often as a combination.

Any malady, including hay fever, is a sign that your immune system is struggling. It can’t do the job it is supposed to do, which is to protect you from ill health. So the main focus for anyone suffering with hay fever should be about raising their immune system, rather than simply treating the symptoms.

Mainstream medicine is aimed at suppressing the symptoms of hay fever. This comes at a price as all medical drugs are liver toxic, suppresses the immune system and interferes with healthy nutrient absorption. This means that it contributes to an increasingly rapid decline in your overall health, even if your hay fever symptoms are controlled.

A far healthier and more effective alternative to this is to work at bringing your immune system back into a healthy and working system. There may be many ways to do this, but the most important one is to focus on your diet.

Ditch junk food, processed food, in fact any food that is not recognisable as the original food. Limit or cut out altogether animal protein. Eat as much of your food raw as possible. Green smoothies, freshly juiced fruit and veggie drinks, salads, veggies. You may be amazed at how well you feel and how all your ails disappear, not just your hay fever.

Depending on how deep seated the problem is, your hay fever may need a bit more help to send it on its way permanently. Homeopathic treatment works by stimulating your immune system. It works by helping your body achieve what it is trying to do.

Don’t dread the hay fever season. Get effective and natural help and you can enjoy it for the freshness and new life it brings.
