Hay fever is an allergy in which a person is hypersensitive to pollen. The most common symptoms that immediately come to mind are sneezing, itchy and burning eyes, and nasal congestion. But the skin reaction can be just as bothersome: itching, burning, redness, dryness, scaling, and a rash.
There's little point in applying the "I can't" culture and starting to avoid everything you can't handle. It's better to focus on strengthening the body through proper nutrition and care. It's surprising how many people once had eczema, were treated with hormonal ointment, and then developed hay fever. Hormonal ointment, as pure symptom relief, simply displaces the condition.
What can you do to relieve hay fever symptoms?
- Strengthen your immune system from within to make your body more resistant to pollen allergens.
- Eat healthy: Foods rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C, turmeric, apple cider vinegar, coltsfoot, ginkgo, and chamomile are very effective in relieving hay fever symptoms. Try the natural route first before taking antihistamines and submitting to the usual behavioral prohibitions.
- Start your skincare routine with a gentle cleanse that leaves the skin's natural protective layer intact and nourished. Cleansing the skin is essential to prevent an allergic reaction.
- Complement your daily routine with aloe vera gel . It provides immediate relief from irritation and itching and soothes irritated skin.
- Conditioning (facial) creams help restore the skin's natural protective layer from the outside.
