Give me usefuls tips to keep hayfever at bay? Apart from taking tablets!?


Answers:

Definitely local honey should do it for you, but in order to get a faster and more steady result, I would advise you include this: Cut up garlic cloves like the size of pills, and take them with water at night so you could go through the next day without being bothered with hay fever symptoms.

However, over the counter topical nasal decongestants such as oxymetazoline (Afrin®) and phenylephrine (NeoSynephrine®) may provide relief from nasal congestion, but they should only be used for a few days. The oral decongestant pseudoephedrine (Sudafed®) may help relieve nasal congestion, while antihistamines such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl®), brompheniramine (Dimetapp®), chlorpheniramine (Chlor-Trimeton®), and loratadine (Claritin®) might help dry excess mucous and reduce sneezing. Cromolyn sodium (Nasalcrom®) is used as a nose spray to prevent hayfever symptoms.

Prescription antihistamines are often prescribed for relief of hay fever symptoms. These include cetirizine (Zyrtec®), desloratadine (Clarinex®), and fexofenadine (Allegra®). Inhaled corticosteroids, such as flunisolide (Nasalide®), triamcinolone (Nasacort®), fluticasone (Flonase®), and mometasone (Nasonex®) may also be suggested to prevent and treat nasal symptoms.

Anyways,here is one piece of advice: vit. C (about 1,000-3,000 mgs. a day) has proven to be as much of a powerful antihistamine as any other out there in the market. Of course, we're talking here of pharmaco-active agents vs. bio-active ones. In this case, vit. C has shown larger and more powerful "muscles" that its counterparts--the synthetic version of antihistamines. Also Quercitin may prove an excellent helper here, although only limited preliminary clinical research has suggested that it is beneficial to hay fever sufferers.

Good luck! :)
