Hay Fever Cures!

Allergies, Natural Cures.

Drug-Free Relief for Hay Fever:

Hay fever is a form of allergic reaction involving the lining of the nose and normally the throat and eyes also. Sufferers go through streaming eyes, headaches, sneezing and plugged or runny noses. Here in Spain, many my clients find their hay fever symptoms less severe than they were in the UK due to the reduced volume of grass and trees but, for some people, hay fever is all the same a very uncomfortable condition.

Simple Aromatherapeutic Treatments

For the inflamed lining of the nose, mix 2 to 3 drops (in total) of Chamomile, Lavender and or Rose with 5ml petroleum jelly (e.g. Vaseline) then put on a small amount to the nostrils 2 to 3 times a day. This will help to trap the pollen consequently stopping it going up into the nostrils.

Use oils such as Chamomile, Lavender, Melissa, Peppermint or Rose in a burner or on a tissue for inhalation throughout the day. Peppermint, particularly, is first-class for clearing up the nasal passages.

Add 8 to 10 drops of Chamomile, Lavender or Rose to a hot bath. This will deliver a similar effect to steam inhalation.

For sore, red, itchy eyes, employ cool compresses of Rosewater (not the essential oil) to the eyelids.

Oil Safety

Chamomile � can cause dermatitis in some people (apply fewer drops if you have sensitive skin)

Melissa � Possible skin irritation and sensitisation

Peppermint � Possible skin sensitisation, do not use if you are taking homeopathic remedies and do not store the oil near them. It can prevent them from working!

Rose � avoid during the first 4 months of pregnancy

AROMATIP from reiki healing spain: If utilising Peppermint for any condition, avoid using it in the evening as it can cause sleeplessness and loss of sleep.
