Hay Fever

You might think it’s too early to be talking about hay fever, but if you’re a sufferer you’ll be very aware that March is when the pollen season is just beginning. The improved weather means that low levels start appearing. If you’ve been unfortunate enough to have suffered from hay fever in the past then you’ll dread the thought of the runny nose, watery and itchy eyes, sneezing and cough that is to come. Anyone who suffers knows it can be somewhere between a daily nuisance and debilitating.

Now’s the time to look at options for managing it this year. Don’t wait until you start to experience symptoms. What have you tried in the past? Has it worked for you? 

If you’ve had no success with medicines you’ve tried before, then homeopathy could be an option to try this year. It’s been used successfully by millions of people for hay fever. 

There are a number of remedies that you can try. Arsen alb is one of the best remedies for hay fever, where there is burning or itching in the nose, eyes or throat. Allium cepa and Euphrasia are also widely used where there is lots of sneezing with streaming eyes and nose.

However, homeopathy is an individualised medicine, so it’s always better to consult a registered homeopath if you can, as they will go through your medical history and symptoms, and prescribe a remedy specifically tailored for you personally. 

You can find a registered homeopath right here at www.findahomeopath.org 

If hay fever is a blight on your life, or if you suffer from allergies more widely throughout the year, then Spring could be the right time for you to try homeopathy for the first time.
