How You Can Recover from Hay Fever Symptoms with Natural Remedies

There are health conditions such as hay fever symptoms that do not always require medical attention. However, you need to understand what hay fever is and how to recognize its symptoms. With natural remedies, you can recover from the symptoms of the disease.

What are Hay Fever Symptoms? 

Hay fever is also known as allergic rhinitis. A seasonal disease, it affects people prone to allergies than those who are not, and most common to kids and teenagers than adults. The allergens that usually trigger your reaction are pollens from flowers, grasses, and trees. These allergens are typically present during spring or summer, thereby increasing your risk to contracting the disease.

For instance, hay fever in Australia is more prevalent during summer and springtime specifically in the cities of Canberra and Melbourne. You may want to increase your avoidance to allergens during this season when you visit the country. However, hay fever is not country-specific. As long as there is exposure to allergens, the risk to contract the disease is present.

Pollens are not the only culprit. You can also show hay fever symptoms from other airborne contaminants such as dust particles and mold. Those who love the outdoors may have an increased risk for hay fever. The most common symptoms of the disease revolve on your nasal passage – runny nose, itchy nose, sneezing, nasal congestion or stuffy nose, and post-nasal drip.

Apart from the nasal passage, you may also show signs and symptoms of allergic rhinitis or hay fever such as watery and red eyes, lethargy or fatigue, difficulty in sleeping, ‘plugged ear’ sensation. While symptoms are likely to show during summer, spring, or hay, the risk remains as long as allergens are present in the air.

Natural Remedies

Here is how you can prevent and eliminate the symptoms naturally:

• Stay away from the allergens, and as much as possible, clear your home from dust and mold that can trigger your allergic reaction. 
• Strengthen your immune system. You can do this by eating natural food such as fruits and vegetables or taking supplements such as vitamins A, C, and E as well as pre and probiotics. 
• Apply herbal remedies such as garlic, ginger, and chamomile oil to name some. You can prepare your own herbal solution from the ingredients for steam inhalation, or you can also mix them with your diet such as with garlic and ginger. 

When you know what hay fever symptoms are, you can easily treat your condition through natural remedies. Of course, it is always wise to consult with your physician especially when the symptoms do not go away within a few days.
