Natural Hayfever Relief In 2022

The warmer months are coming in and the bees are out in force, this means that the hayfever symptoms are also becoming more visible. Many people seek over-the-counter medications for this seasonal allergy, but for some, these medications don’t work. There is an increase in people suffering from hayfever due to global warming which is making pollen season hit much earlier than it used to. The reason why some people develop hay fever, later on, is due to pollen strains change and people are more susceptible to it than others. In this article, we will go through some natural hayfever relief remedies in 2022.

Local Honey

Local honey has some strong evidence to show that taking it can help to reduce the symptoms of hay fever. This is due to the pollen in honey being the same as the stuff that you have been exposed to. This in turn helps your body to naturally be desensitized to that pollen causing fewer hayfever symptoms. If you don’t like honey, you can use it as a natural sweetener in your hot drinks, yogurt or breakfast. If you are struggling to find local honey, you will find it in your local farm shop, health store or even online.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C has many different benefits including it being a natural antihistamine and is found in a range of citrus fruits like lemons, oranges, and limes. Citrus fruit also includes bioflavonoids which also have anti-allergy properties. When bioflavonoids are combined with vitamin C it enhances the effects of vitamin C and acts as a decongestant and antihistamine. Due to vitamin C being water-soluble, this means that you need a constant dose of supplements to support your nasal lining.

Biotin (Vitamin B Complex)

Biotin is a B vitamin that aids in the healthy function of mucous membranes that are mostly found in your nose, sinuses, tear duct and throat. If you are low in this vitamin, offal, fish, yolk, leafy greens and nuts are great sources of biotin. If you find it difficult getting your daily dose into your diet, then you may find it more useful to take a vitamin B complex supplement as this includes biotin among other B vitamins.

Probiotic

Healthy gut flora also has many benefits and it ensures that you have a strong immune system.  Probiotic drinks only contain a certain probiotic. Instead, replenish gut flora through a multi-strain probiotic as this will work much better. There are many foods you can naturally get your dose of probiotics including natural yoghurt, kefir, gelatine and other fermented foods.

Carotenoids

Carotenoids are naturally found in plants as it is a pigmentation. Carotene is something that derives from carotenoids. Carotenoids act as a strong antioxidant that helps to reduce inflammation in the airways as well as aid in improving your immune system. There is a range of foods that contain this including carrots. Pumpkins, sweet potato and spinach. It is recommended that you take around two doses of carotenoids a day for your daily dose.
