My hayfever symptoms are so bad at the moment. What can I do?

Hi there, you could try the luffa tincture as this remedy has traditionally been used to help hayfever symptoms. It is quite quick to show its effects which is a great benefit.

Diet can play a part in how severe symptoms are so you may want to limit your intake of things like caffeine and alcohol which are inflammatory. Fresh foods are definitely your best options, as well as nuts, seeds and wholegrains.

Vitamin C plays a role in supporting immune health and we need a strong immune system to deal with allergens so definitely aim to get more of this. A natural supplement is one option, plus berries, broccoli, citrus fruits and peppers are all abundant in vitamin C.

I usually recommend drinking nettle tea 2-3 times daily whilst in the midst of the hayfever season – and beyond if you are that way inclined! With its anti-inflammatory properties, it can be quite helpful when your hayfever symptoms are bad.
