Achooooo! Hay Fever Acutes
Ahh… the perfume of linden trees, of climbing jasmine… the sharp green tang of freshly-cut grass. The colours, the textures, the sounds of birds and insects. Spring announces herself in intoxicating ways. Alas, these ways may be ‘toxic ‘for those who suffer from hay fever
Every spring flowers, trees and grasses send pollen into the air, especially in May and June. Do you sneeze non-stop? Squint in sunlight? Does nasal congestion dictates mouth breathing? Do you suffer from itchy, burny red eyes or raw running noses Have a sore throat?
Here are five top natural holistic remedies and a few tips to address Hay Fever:
ALLIUM SEPA Symptoms focus on itchy nose and eyes. Clear, streaming and burning runny nose. Lots of sneezing. Light sensitivity. Worse evening and inside. Left eye can be worse. Nose symptoms burning, bland tears. (EUPHASIA is the reverse)
EUPHRASIA Eyes burn and produce profuse, acrid discharge. May feel gritty with swollen lids. Skin around eyes is red and irritated. Lots of sneezing. Bland nasal discharge. Worse for sun. Sore throat. (comp: ALLIUM SEPA)
ARSENICUM IODATUM is characterised by burning, tearing eyes, sneezing with runny nose and sore nostrils. Throat burns and cough is dry. Better for keeping warm and staying indoors. Restlessness. Worse at night.
SABADILLA symptoms include a frontal sinus headache and sometimes, bleeding from the nose, which is usually itchy and stuffed up. Violent sneezes make eyes water. Eyelids red, sore. Better for warmth and from warm food and drinks and worse for open air and sunlight. (consider ARSENICUM)
PULSATILLA’s thick yellow discharge, from eyes and nose, does not burn. Better in open air, worse from warmth. Lots of sneezing. Inflamed lids can be glued together by sticky mucus. Thirstless.
MIXED POLLENS AND GRASSES
A combination of several remedies achieves considerable success in acute cases which aren’t resolved by the above remedies. Also useful as a broad-spectrum preventative/taming agent.
Natural support
Chew on honeycomb, eat fresh garlic and put turmeric in your food. Cucumber slices cool red itchy yes. Eucalyptus steam inhalations or sniffing grated horseradish unblocks the nose. Bananas, nuts and seeds provide useful magnesium. These supplements help ease symptoms alongside homeopathic remedies.
Or, in an appointment you can tell me how you or your family is faring.
I can recommend what to have to hand if the above don’t work or when there’s no clear symptom picture
For chronic cases and permanent treatment, it’s best to work with a homeopath who can assess specifics and recommend accordingly.
