Hay Fever Cures That Won't Break The Bank Or Involve Drowsy Drugs

How A Hay Fever Cure Could Be As Simple As Using A Red Light

Hay fever cures are usually just an antihistamine away. If you're like me, and forgetful, it's easy to run out the door without stockpiling your much-needed daily drug.

If you're unsure about whether or not you have hay fever then look no further. Hay fever is caused by pollen which is released by plants during their reproductive cycle.

If you have itchy eyes, a runny nose, and you're erratically sneezing then there's a very good chance you may have hay fever.

According to The Telegraph, researchers have found several alternatives to antihistamines that could save your summer and make it sneeze free.

Gin

Although alcohol contains high levels of histamine and sulphites, two of the reasons for hay fever, it may still be effective. Strong spirits have little trace of these two chemicals. Pure gin, especially, has no trace whatsoever.

Honey

An old wives tale suggests that by eating local honey you can reverse the effects of pollen. Researchers have debunked this but personal anecdotes insist it relieves their symptoms.

Red Light

Possibly the easiest approach to eliminating hay fever is this red light device. Although it's not 100% scientifically proven it's a simple device to use. Take the Kinetik Device and place both lights into each nostril. The blood circulation in your nose is increased and it decreases histamine production. The Kinetic Allergy Reliever is available from here.

Nettle

Full of vitamin C, iron and calcium, Nettle tea is actually good for you. Will it help with your hayfever? Research has found that 57 percent of people found it effective against hay fever. 48 percent found it more effective than their previous antihistamine medication.

If you're looking for immediate relief then take a shower to wash the pollen off your skin, stay indoors when the pollen count is high or apply a small amount of Vaseline to your nostrils to block any pollen.
