Electric hay fever Treatment

Options
Hi guys,

sorry if this is in the wrong section and if so please point me to the correct one? However it is electrical so could be techno!!!

I need to find a treatment for hay fever which is severe to say the least and I have seen this:

Lloydspharmacy Hayfever Reliever and Ionising Air Purifier Bundle

It is on the LLoyds website so wonder if it is any good and if not can any recommend a product that actually works?

    if its the one with the probes that you stick up your nose my son bought one last year. if i tell you he's bought a seasons worth of anti histamines for this year is that the info you need?

    not worth the money in my opinion, ioniser is ok though

    Just a suggestion. Might this be better under health, beauty and fashion?
    A fool may give advice but the one who takes it is the bigger fool.

    Sorry guys,

    I will post under health, beauty and fashion- I just did not see that section at first.

    Thanks for the help.

    I completely agree. In fact it made my son's alergy worse. I don't know what research they did but it shouldn't have been sanctioned.

    I have tried this as well - didn't make me worse just didn't do anything. £14.99 wasted.

    I use this and find it FANTASTIC! Started last year and smelt flowers for the first time in years. On days when my hayfever was really bad I took an antihistanmine as well. I used 7-10 anti histamines all season.

  • might just be best to stick to tried and trusted methods? having said that, let us know if anyone finds that it works :D

    Looks like it works for some people but not for others, rather like the way that some makes of tablets help some people but make no difference to others. I'd be prepared to try it although must say some of the comments here do put me off a bit. I take the Boots own brand tablets which seem to help me but I know some people don't like them - see what I mean?

    I've responded in the thread in the health and beauty section so thought I'd put it here as well.

    Basically:-

    Tried honey method and didn't work
    Tried electric Lloyds device and it worked a treat. When really bad take anti-histamines and use the device.
