Hay Fever – Overview

Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is a common allergic disorder affecting around 18 million people in UK. It triggers symptoms like sneezing, blocked or runny nose and itchy, red or watery eyes. Contrary to what the name hay fever suggests, you don’t have to be exposed to hay or have fever if you are suffering from it. It occurs when your immune system overreacts to allergen, an otherwise harmless substance that causes an allergic reaction in people suffering from hay fever.

Hay fever can affect the quality of your life. Those who suffer from it know that it can affect your performance at work or at school. But you don't have to put up with annoying symptoms of hay fever. It can be treated effectively & safely with homeopathy.

However, if not treated on time, hay fever can lead to complications such as sinusitis and middle ear infections. It can impair sleeping, which can result in tiredness. In asthmatic people, it can aggravate the signs and symptoms of asthma such as, coughing and wheezing.
