If you are someone who turns into a sneezy, watery-eyed mess the moment pollen floats into the air, you have probably tried everything – antihistamines, nasal sprays, herbal teas and maybe questioning your life choices every spring.
Don’t give up, there is another option getting a LOT of buzz: Our Hay Fever Treatment!
Hay fever (also known as allergic rhinitis) arises when the immune system overreacts to airborne allergens, such as pollen (grass, tree, weed), dust mites, mould spores or per dander. Common symptoms include:
- Sneezing
- Runny or stuffy nose (nasal congestion)
- Itchy or watery eyes
- Scratchy throat
- Post-nasal drip, sinus pressure
- Fatigue or general malaise during allergy seasons
In Australia, this problem affects many, and for some, conventional therapies are inadequate. The standard medical approach includes:
- Avoidance and environmental controls (keeping windows closed, reducing indoor allergens, using air filters, showering after being outdoors, etc.)
- Oral antihistamines, intranasal sprays, decongestants or saline rinses.
- Allergen immunotherapy (desensitisation) via a series of injections or drops/tablets.
