Hayfever is a widespread problem in the UK and as the pollen count rises Springtime can mean suffering and irritation to many. Here are some alternative natural remedies to sooth the discomfort of hayfever.

HayMax is an organic, drug-free pollen barrier that works by wiping a little HayMax around the bottom of your nose so that pollen is trapped before it gets inside your body. No pollen, no sneezing. It’s as simple as that.

Local honey can help desensitise you to local pollens. Just take a spoonful of locally produced honey (find it at a local farm shop or farmers market) every day from a month or two before the hayfever season starts.

The Bionaire BAP412 Mini Tower air purifier has a washable HEPA filter that removes up to 99.97% of all airborne pollution, allergens, smoke and odours, helping to make your indoor environment a hayfever free zone.

Green Tea contains catechins, which have a natural antihistamine effect.  Drink two or three cups daily during the hayfever season.
