5 Natural Remedies for Hay Fever

Hay fever can produce a wide range of symptoms, some of which can be debilitating and have a negative effect on the quality of life. Also known as allergic rhinitis, hay fever’s most common symptoms include cold-like symptoms such as nasal and sinus problems (e.g. a blocked or runny nose), along with watery, dry or itchy eyes. Many sufferers also experience an itchy or burning throat, skin irritation, tiredness and low mood. Asthma sufferers can also experience a worsening of symptoms, particularly when the pollen count is at its highest, while other people may only experience asthma-like symptoms during hay fever season. There are several natural remedies that can help to reduce the symptoms of hay fever.

Allium Cepa

Allium Cepa is a homeopathic remedy used to prevent hay fever and associated symptoms. Homeopathic remedies work on the principle of “like cures like,” which means that remedies are derived from substances that would normally cause the symptoms you want to cure. In the case of Allium Cepa, the active substances are derived from onions. Allium Cepa is available in tablet form from most health food stores. As with all homeopathic remedies, the effectiveness of any treatment will depend on a number of different factors, as each person can respond differently to the remedy.
