I feel your pain, it truly is the worst. I had both nostrils plugged recently. There's a tea that helped me. Its called Mullein. You can get it in a Tea or dry leaves. It's an anti inflammatory. I got it in a health shop. Not cheap but have me some relief.

At this point I'd crush the leafs and lines of it like I was an England fan at the world cup!!!

If you can source local honey it will be made with the local pollen that you're reacting to and ease your symptoms..

Ideally if you can speak with the apiarist that's producing the honey and try and source honey harvested in the same season. Because spring pollen will be different to summer pollen. That way you will be eating honey in spring that was harvested the previous spring and you'll develop antibodies to that specific pollen.

Sounds convoluted but it works and you're supporting your local apiary!

😂 That's exactly where my head went at first glance of the title. Perhaps you could try it as a treatment? If nothing else it might distract you from the hay fever.

My ex made me a tincture out of the local flowers and plants that were triggering my hay fever and, to my surprise, it worked well enough I stopped buying antihistamines.

You can buy a nasal balm to put around the edge of your nostrils that is supposed to catch some of the pollen.

We tried it for Dorks cat allergy after I got cats.

Nettles. You need to be pushed into a pile of nettles, naked. They create an anti histamine affect and it apparently prevents hay fever. I call dibs on pushing you in the nettles.

As whynotx above has already said. Local honey. My son used to suffer really bad to the point his face would swell up and he couldn’t finish a football match. His uncle managed to get local honey for him. It hasn’t stopped it completely but he is away better from using the local honey

Try a thin layer of Vaseline rubbed on the inside of your nostrils. Not too much as it will hamper breathing but a thin coating on the skin on the inside of the nose traps pollen and acts as a barrier against irritation of the nasal passages.

Wraparound sunglasses help to keep pollen out of the eyes.

Get fexofenadine from your doc some chemist sell it. Its an antihistamine but its the only one that has ever worked for me. Nothing else helped.

But definitely try the nettles amd let us know if that helps.

I use those hay fever wipes during the day, they work great to reduce the symptoms if the normal meds can't keep up. I know, it's basically a wet towel with some herbie stuff on it but they are more convenient and cheap enough 🤣

My eyes have been so bad this year...the only downside of such good weather 😫

I find showering immediately after coming in from outside is the only thing that really helps me.

Make sure you’re not drying your clothes outside if you have hay fever. A lovely coating of pollen on your clothes/towels/bedsheets is not what you want!

The local honey thing always sounds like a great theory. In reality, it doesn't do anything.

The plants whose pollen causes hay fever aren't pollinated by bees, and the pollen from plants pollinated by bees doesn't cause allergic reactions.

Airborne pollen, mostly from grasses and trees, as well as some wildflowers, are lightweight and blow easily in the air.

The pollen from flowers that bees pollinate is larger, heavier and stickier, and does not become airborne so there's no connection whatsoever between bees, honey and hay fever.

This is half true as most hay fever is called by grass pollen but not always

And the honey itself is and naturally antibiotic and anti inflammatory so helps reduce the overreaction of you body to the pollen

It also helps to clean the mouth and throat when eating by "catching" the pollen on the way down

So in theory any honey would work but local is so much better

Hay fever is caused by airborne pollen, not by the heavy sticky pollen that bees interact with.

Whatever comfort honey gives it's most likely a placebo effect as there's no scientific evidence that it does anything. Antihistamines however have lots of scientific evidence to support them.
