Feeling Extra Sneezy? Looking After Yourself During Hay Fever Season

Hay fever can make everyday life uncomfortable, particularly when pollen levels are high. Sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes and general irritation can make it harder to concentrate, sleep comfortably and enjoy spending time outdoors.

When you're already dealing with seasonal allergy symptoms, looking after your general health and wellbeing can be particularly important. Getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, staying active and managing everyday stress are all sensible ways to support your overall wellbeing during the hay fever season.

Know Your Hay Fever Triggers

Understanding when your symptoms are most likely to occur can also help you prepare. Different types of pollen are released at different times throughout the year, while weather conditions can influence pollen levels from one day to the next.

Checking the daily pollen forecast can help you plan ahead, particularly if you know that your hay fever tends to become more noticeable when pollen counts are high.

Simple measures such as changing your clothes after spending time outdoors, keeping windows closed when pollen levels are particularly high and showering after being outside may also help reduce your exposure to pollen.

Keep Your Hay-Band Handy

If you're looking for a drug-free option for managing hay fever symptoms, Hay-Band is designed to be worn around the arm and applies gentle pressure to the LI-11 acupressure point near the elbow.

Reusable and easy to carry with you, Hay-Band provides a convenient option for hay fever sufferers who would prefer a non-medicated approach.

Whatever the pollen forecast has in store, remember to look after yourself, understand your triggers and keep your Hay-Band handy throughout the hay fever season.
