Hayfever - no more tablets and eye drops.

Nile

At the time of writing (2nd February) hayfever won't be on your mind but if you're a sufferer there is a product which will help with your symptoms.

Hayfever sufferers will know the misery of itchy eyes and a streaming nose, like having a heavy cold for weeks on end. If you're reluctant to take steroids or antihistamines due to their side effects, try Nasaleze spray. It costs ~£10.

The spray is a unique form of powdered starch which turns into a protective gel coating when it's sprayed into the nose.

Within seconds of spraying with Nasaleze your symptoms will subside.........your eyes stop itching and your nose stops running.

Have a look at the https://www.nasaleze.com website for further details.

I am not connected to this company.

OK, this isnt 'no more tablets' , but another excellent safe remedy is New Era homeopathic tissue salts. My GP and the ENT consultant at the hospital wanted my (then 9yo) son to take a steroid nose spray every day for the rest of his life(?) as he has really bad allergic rhinitis. Everything makes him sniff and run and hayfever makes it much worse! No way was my son getting steroids every day!!!! My homeopath recommended these tissue salts. I get them from Boots, theyre about £3 ish IIRC, safe with no side effects! oh and they work!

Glad

have you tried this product yourself Nile?


my Dad has suffered every year with hayfever and I'd love to find him something to help

No, I haven't tried the Nasaleze product myself.

I know three people who have extreme hay fever symptoms, which are not controlled by tablets or eye drops etc. These people used the Nasaleze product during the hayfever season last year and gave very positive feedback.

One lady, whose life has been blighted for years, told me that the first time she used Nasaleze it immediately stopped her nose streaming and her eyes itching. She continued using Nasaleze for the rest of the season and dropped all other hayfever medication. She is delighted with Nasaleze.

Based on their experiences, I can recommend this product.

I would be very interested in feedback from users. It would be good to hear your views on how your hayfever symptoms were affected, if you've used the Nasaleze spray.

I usually get hay-fever tablets from the GP on presciption ( works out cheaper than buying the strong ones I need from over the counter) however when I was pregnant I coudn't take them, however I did try a product called Quercetin from the health shop. It worked really well, but wasn't that cheap - £13 for 50 tablets. Made by Solgar.

Netdoctor item on Housedust mites and summary of medical treatments
The above article doesn't include Nasaleze as a treatment for dustmite allergy but the Nasaleze website does mention dustmites and the logic of the arguement presented on that website seems to make sense to me. What is more they offer a money back guarantee so why not give it a try?

I have severe hayfever and current take Rhinocort, a steriod nose spray, and clarityn for eyes during high summer. For years I resisted a steriod nose spray. Clarityn and Zirtec didn't work for me just gave me a blocked nose but if it does work for you Tesco are now selling the generic version of both these products for 99p for 7 tablets. That is cheaper than 1 months supply on prescription.

Over the years I have tried many remedies from the Health store including New Era - none of them worked for me. I also embarked on a course of Accupunture. £150 later and I was still suffering. I was really getting desperate as I constantly had infected sinuses with swelling around my face, high temperature and headaches. I couldn't sleep at night as I was totally blocked up.

A friend recommended Rhinocort which is only available on prescription. I asked a Pharmacist and was told the amount of steriod in each spray was minute so I asked Doctor to prescribe. I have to say it has changed my life - not just during hayfever season but all year. I only take it during the hayfever season but now I never get more than 1 cold a winter and rarely flu. Its only now that my nose is clear I realise how bad it had been all year as it was so inflamed after taking a hammering in the summer.

I recommend talking to a pharmacist if you are concerned about any drugs. They will give you straight answers and will tell you whether they would take or give to their kids.

There is fundamental difference though between treating the cause and treating the symptoms. The point about Nasaleze is that it isn't a drug but works by forming an invisible, gel like mucus lining in the nasal tract, that acts as a filter.

I'm not giving a personal recommendation or medical advice, I just don't want other readers to be confused about the nature of nasaleze which is a barrier to avoid sensitive areas of the body coming into contact with the allergen rather than a medical compound which enters the body and alters the reaction to the allergen.

Another product worth trying is Haymax - this was a new product last year and I was asked to take part in a trial of it. It is a simple product to us and it contains homeopathic stuff and is completely natural. It worked for me so I would recommend giving it a go.

I get hayfever every year and its a pain.

There are heaps of antihistamines for sale over the counter. I wouldn't bother buying the branded ones (like Piriton etc...) just buy the active ingredient in your favourtie antihistamine (eg chlorpheniramine 4mg for piriton), Boots own brand is cheap, but there are cheaper - ask the pharmacist.

If you get hayfever bad then see you GP because they can prescribe a months worth at a time (28tablets at just over £6) which is a lot cheaper than buying them over the counter.
