 Hayfever Help with Jenny MacDonald ............

So as the last few weeks of good weather has proved we are slowly getting into summer.  As great as that is for all the sun bunnies out there it does cause a problem for hayfever sufferers, freshly cut grass, flower and tree pollen cause thousands of people uncomfortable symptoms every year.

What is Hayfever?
Hay fever is an allergic condition triggered by the immune system’s response to inhalant substances (frequently pollens) which is also referred to as Allergic Rhinitis, Pollen Allergy or Seasonal Allergy.
Researchers have yet to clearly understand why some people’s immune systems over-react to exposure to pollens while other people do not suffer from this problem. Symptoms of hay fever are partly a result of inflammation that, in turn, is activated by the immune system.
Inhaled allergens trigger sneezing and inflammation of the nose and mucous membranes (conjunctiva) of the eyes. The nose, roof of the mouth, eyes, and throat begin to itch gradually or abruptly after the onset of the pollen season. Tearing, sneezing, and clear, watery nasal discharge soon follow the itching. Headaches and irritability may also occur.

Treatment
Conventional treatment is usually in the form of anti-histamine drug like Piriton however there are lots of natural alternative including Nettles Butterbur and if you are looking for a natural alternative why not try one of our May special offers or nip in store to discuss possible options with a member of the supplements team.

It is very simple. HayMax acts as a trap – or a blocker, stopping pollen before it enters the body. If there is less pollen in the body, there’s less for the body to react against. Less pollen – Less sneezing and for many people no sneezing
HayMax does not cure hayfever it works on the cause to try to reduce or, in some cases; even eliminate the effects of the pollen.

If HayMax traps enough of the pollen to leave you with less pollen in your body than it take for you to react, then you won’t react. If it takes out enough pollen 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 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 inside you.

Haymax comes in three scents Original, Lavender and Aloe but all three are available for only £11.82 during May

>>Viridian Quercetin & B5 Complex 15% off during May<<

Quercetin is a bioflavonoid that has anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anti-histamine properties.  All of these factors are helpful in the treatment of hayfever however it is Quercetin’s action on mast cells and therefore the reduction in histamine that makes it a possible treatment for hayfever.
The Quercetin is supported by other ingredient such as B5 and Bromelain which also support the immune system and reduces inflammation.  This is a great product for many conditions but is well worth considering for supporting an over active immune system.
