Welcome to our New Harmony blog, this month we’re talking Hayfever!
Isn’t it just great to have the longer evenings and warmer temperatures coming back again? That “stretch in the evenings” can really lift spirits after the long winter months. April is beautiful with Spring time at its peak – new lambs in the fields and the excitement of Easter holidays around the corner. It makes everyone seem more chirpy, and definitely puts a pep in one’s step! There is a consequence to all this however, an increase in pollen count in the air. This for some people means a period of endured suffering from hayfever. The usual symptoms include sneezing, watery eyes, and blocked nasal passages. Some people experience headaches as well as swelling in the cheeks and under the eyes. However, this does not have to be the case! Here at new Harmony we have many remedies for each individual set of symptoms associated with the common nuisance that is hayfever.
Okay, lets think about what exactly we are dealing with here. Hayfever is an allergen caused by pollen and dust, in which the mucous membranes of the eyes and nose are inflamed. This causes watering eyes and runny noses. An elevated histamine causes the swelling, redness, itching, and associated symptoms that come with hayfever. This is the body’s defence mechanism to an allergy. The histamine increases sensitivity to smells and airborne irritants. This is why it is important to avoid harsh scents such as spray deodorant and perfumes. The respiratory tract is much more susceptible to reaction due to the body’s way of coping against the allergy.
There are numerous natural remedies that often prove to be more effective than your typical pharma anti-histamines. Everyone wants to see results, luckily we have a variety of options to treat your allergy. Let’s have a look at some of the products we offer that can really do the trick!
Pollinosan hayfever tablets are made to an original A.Vogel formula. This original formula contains 7 tropical herbs in varying homeopathic potencies. A benfit to these Pollinosan tablets is that they are non-drowsy, and therefore will not affect your ability to drive or use machinery. This diverse and effective product can be used to help treat allergies to grass or tree pollen (hayfever), as well as allergies to dust, animals and pets (allergic rhinitis). These types of conditions give rise to symptoms such as itching and watery eyes, sneezing, tickly nose or throat and a blocked nose. Pollinosan tablets can be used together with the Pollinosan Luffa Nasal Spray which we will examine now!
This hayfever nasal spray cleanses the nasal passages of pollen and other allergens, house or animal dust. Using Luffa Nasal Spray will mean that pollen, which causes your hayfever, has less of a chance of invading your body and causing those horrid symptoms associated with allergies. It is a medical device in an isotonic solution containing seven tropical herbs. Luffa Nasal Spray works by rinsing and cleansing the nose of hayfever-causing allergens. It also restores fluid and moisture in the nasal passages, making the nose feel soothed and more comfortable. It may be used over prolonged periods and by those sensitive to chemical medication. A. Vogel produces effective natural remedies and medicinal products made from freshly harvested plants. Healthy food products and dietary supplements made form organic raw materials.
This product has been designed by Patrick Holford to provide essential immune support and consists of 60 tablets. Vitamin C is known to contribute to normal immune system function, and is uniquely blended with Quercetin, Glutamine, MSM, and BromelainAllex. This formula is made with the individual in mind, which is designed to cater for intolerances to allergens. Its formula helps to alleviate stress from toxins in the body, and the protection of good cells. This product is completely free from dairy, yeast, corn and soya products to suit the intolerances of each individual.
Vitamin C is THE ultimate anti-allergy vitamin. It helps to promote a strong immune system and works as an anti-inflammatory. Get this Vitamin in your routine, for sure. Quercetin is a bioflavonoid that offers a potent antioxidant and promotes healthy anti-inflammatory response. MSM has been found to significantly benefit reduction in symptoms of the upper and lower respiratory tracts, helping with nasal congestion as well as with coughing. Glutamine is essential to quickly restore healthy mucous membranes and reduce the potential of further allergic reaction. It is also a powerful nutrient for protecting the liver and supporting immunity in the body. Bromelain is found in pineapple stems and has considerable anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling properties. It is really useful for those puffy cheeks and eyes. For the reasons mention here, this product can be a really reliable addition to your fight against hayfever this season.
Terranova nutritional product offers a quality standard across the whole range. Each Terranova product is enhanced with a synergistic complex of botanicals and phytonutrient rich foods. These foods are what Terranova calls Magnifood. These ingredients are expertly blended to enhance the biochemincal environment of the body. This, in turn, maximises the benefits of the vitamins and minerals the body consumes. The freeze drying of the plants used by Terranova products retains the enzymes, protecting the chemistry of the plant – in this case it is the Nettle!
Terrnaova Quercetin Nettle Complex supports a healthy response to environmental allergens, especially in the respiratory tissue. As described already, this is important for benefitting the nasal passage. Hayfever is an allergic reaction which presents these issues, and for this reason Terranova Quercetin Nettle Complex is an ideal supplement to help against hayfever. The content of naturally occurring neurotransmitters (such as histamine) are believed to exert a paradoxical inhibitory effect on respiratory tissue inflammation. Turmeric root is present to maintain a healthy respiratory response to allergens. This is supported by research that suggests the root inhibits certain inflammatory chemicals. For hayfever, these chemicals are associated with the allergen and Turmeric provides a great defence. Also present is Elderflower, which ha been found to have beneficial effect on bronchial secretions. This is a support to the respiratory tract against those allergens that lead to the dreaded hayfever!
