Read infor mation on my page. It might be of help to you or
someone else you know.
try weleda 'mixed pollen' tablets. it worked for me when nothing else did. I was told that if you get real honey from an actual bee keeper and eat a tsp or tbsp a day, that it would help, since bees pollinate flowers and tend to carry all the allergens that cause hay fever(pollen, dust,specific plants and flowers) Haven't tried it though.
Irrigate your sinuses everyday (can do twice to three times a day). Use a saline spray (I perfer Simply Saline) or get a sinus teapot and follow the directions. By Irrigating your sinuses you are removing any pollen that is trapped in them.
Staying away from milk is good too. Soy milk is a good replacement. If you cut dairy completly from your diet, make sure that you add a suppliment for vit D and calisum.
If you add honey to your diet, make sure it is from a source that is within 50 miles of where you live. Then the honey will have small amounts of pollen that is close to your house.
My son has horrible allergies and one thing that we make him do is wear a breathing mask when he is outside and the pollen count is high. We use TB masks, they are thicker than a regulat dust amsk, but they still allow him to breathe with out problem.
Don't have your windows down. Even in the car, run the AC to cool down. It costs more in gas, but it will lessen the amount of pollen in your car. Also a good hepa filter in your home AC is a good idea. Get an air purifier and run it when you sleep and have one for your most lived in room if you can. ( I use the lifewise by radio shack. A little on the expensive side, but my son's breathing is a lot better).
My son just started immunotheraphy and that is really working for him. Twice a week he gets 5 shots and his dependance on other meds is slowly going down. That might be something that you want to discuss with your allergist.
Locally grown honey is good. You can also try taking vitamin C with pantothenic acid. If you do this one, you have to start around 2months before allergy season sets in. I have found Pure Bee Pollen 500 mg capsules very effective to build up the immune system and helps the sufferer to show better resistance to hay-fever and other allergies.
Available on-line from Bee Health who recommends1 -3 capsules a day before meals.
Pure Bee Pollen is collected on the Bee's legs while they busily visit different flowers etc., and collect to make honey.
I also recommend you try 3 - 4 drops of pure eucalyptus oil in hot water in a bowl covering your head/face with a towel for 20 minutes night and morning as necessary if attack is present this aids with a peacefully nights sleep.
