When hayfever attacks
During this time of the year, Ragweed pollen often makes life miserable for those suffereing from allergies, particularly hay fever.
But don't despair. There are nutritional supplements, as well as things that you can do to help ease the discomforts of hay fever.
- Change your clothes and wash your hair after spending time outdoors to avoid bringing the irritant inside the house. Pollen sticks to your clothes and hair.
- Use an air purifier in your home and office. There are mini, personal air purifiers on the market that are worn around the neck.
- Insert special allergy air filters in the central air conditioning/heating system of your home.
- Pets should either be kept indoors or outdoors when suffering from hayfever. Fur collects pollen and pets can carry it inside the house.
- Foods rich in magnesium are helpful in thwarting a hayfever attack. Eating three bananas was found to stop an attack of hay fever by a university in Germany.
- Eating yogurt daily was found by the University of California to reduce hay fever attacks.
- Coenzyme Q10, often referred to as COQ10 is a natural supplement that improves oxygenation and immunity. Phyllis Balch, CNC suggests taking a dosage of 30 mg twice daily in her book, Prescription for Nutritional Healing.
- Those with chronic hayfever should spend as little time outside as possible when pollen levels are high. Check your local weather report daily; many broadcasts include a pollen report.
