Nuage Hayfever & Allergen Barrier Balm

Product Information

The Met Office has warned of a 'high' or 'very high' pollen count in London and the south, the Midlands, Wales, Yorkshire and Northern Ireland. Once the pollen is in your room and on your bedsheets, you’ll likely find that your symptoms will keep triggering overnight and early in the morning, even on low pollen count days. 3. Avoid dairy They're also effective at protecting your eyes from dust and wind as well as keeping them moisturised.

Pollen can get trapped on clothes, so getting changed in the bathroom as soon as you get home means you won't spread pollen around the place. Limit the amount of time they spend outside playing and try to entertain them indoors on days when the pollen count is high or it’s windy. Wash these clothes as soon as you can, or leave them in a laundry bag in the bathroom or utility room. 5. Reduce sugar intake A salve made by infusing dried nettle leaves in a carrier oil like sweet almond oil or extra virgin olive oil, is scientifically demonstrated to relieve joint pain and arthritis inflammation. Use 7 parts infused oil to 1 part beeswax to make the salve.

Hayfever can irritate the lining of your airways, causing a dry, itchy cough – this will only be exacerbated by smoking. Carving out a daily routine that combines hayfever relief treatment and small lifestyle changes can help, so that your seasonal allergic rhinitis (the fancy term for hayfever) doesn’t force you indoors for the entirety of hayfever season.

Different types of pollen will be more prevalent than others at differing times throughout the summer months. Dabbing Vaseline around your nose or eyes effectively creates a barrier balm, collecting and trapping the pollen before you have the chance to breathe it in. For anyone suffering from hay fever symptoms such as frequent sneezing, apply around the nostrils, and for anyone experiencing itchy or watery eyes, apply Vaseline around your eyes or on your eyelashes. Wondering whether you have hayfever or are just suffering from a cold? Well, the easiest way to tell the difference is through your mucus. With hayfever, the mucus is usually clear and colourless and the nose feels itchy. With a common cold, the nasal discharge can be green. You can also get a temperature with a cold. As Britain makes the most of the warmer weather (finally), for some the summer fun could be dampened by itchy eyes and runny noses. You will want to keep your windows and doors shut, and vacuum, dust with a damp cloth, and clean more regularly during the hay fever season.

Going for the hottest curry on the menu can help – or if you’re making your own, go heavy on the spices. Turmeric, an orange-yellow spice widely used in curries and South Asian cuisine, is believed to reduce inflammation caused by the enzyme phospholipase A2, which is provoked into action by pollen in your system. Capsaicin, in chillies, helps open up the nasal passages and relieve that bunged up feeling. 2. Hanky panky The best solutions are often the simplest ones. If HayMax™ traps enough of the pollen, dust or pet allergen to leave you with less allergen in your body than it takes for you to react, then you won’t react. If it takes out enough allergen that you are just around the point where you react, then you may find that that although you don’t stop sneezing, you sneeze less. Or, if you are particularly sensitive, or if the pollen (or other allergen) count is very high, there might be enough pollen getting in to your body that you continue to react. The good news here is that you can use HayMax™ in conjunction with anything else you find helpful. In this case, the other product you use may have less of a job to do, since there is less pollen, dust or pet allergen inside you. However, nothing is perfect and there are some people for whom HayMax™ doesn’t work. We think it’s worth a try though we hope you’ll think it’s worth it too.

Having said that, on those sunny days, the pollen count is usually highest in the early evening, so you might notice a symptom flare-up during that time. If you notice your symptoms are worse at night, keep the windows of your home closed during the day and try taking a shower when you get home, or before going to bed, to wash the pollen off and reduce exposure to pollen during the night. So taking the one-a-day anti-allergy tablets first thing in the morning will give you better protection. Hay fever is an allergic reaction to pollen – a fine powder that comes from male plants or male plant parts. This time of year is the best! It's warm and sunny and we're all filled with nothing but good vibes, but for some this isn't quite the case, as the warmer months unfortunately mean battling uncomfortable and irritating allergies.You could also get the advice and treatment you need to help you stop smoking for good with our Boots Online Doctor Service .
