encapsulate and denature the pollen
particles in your home. It contains
Eucalyptus Essential oil and Peruvian
balsam extracts proven to aid breathing
and relieve nasal and bronchial congestion

medical alternatives. AirCleanse also
denatures pet and dustmite allergens
and pollen particles in the air, all of
which have an effect on the immune
system. A once-a-month treatment of
mattresses and furnishings with Biolife HomeCleanse reduces
dustmite in
the home and FabriCleanse gets rid of
pollen and dustmite in clothing. They are
all contributory factors in this condition.

The Meaco Airvax Air Purifier filters
out very small particles from the air. This
means that pesky pollens get sucked up
before they get the chance to play havoc
with your allergies. Meaco Airvax is also
great at removing moulds, smells, carbon
monoxide, tobacco smoke, germs and
bacteria thereby further contributing to a
healthier home as many of these particles
can contribute to the development of
further health problems such as asthma
and eczema. It's an investment at around
£140 but tackles a range of issues.

HayMax is a non-medical pollen
barrier balm which can help bring relief
from sneezing and other symptoms
of the hayfever season. Simply apply
around the rim of the nostrils as soon as
symptoms start. It works by trapping the
pollen before it enters your body, helping
you stay symptom free longer. HayMax
has been proven to trap over one third of
the pollen in the air before it literally gets
up your nose and starts irritating you. It
means that it can effectively reduce the
pollen count from high to medium on
all but the highest pollen count days. Its
drug-free, non-drowsy formula makes it
suitable for anyone, including children.
It retails at £6.99 for a 5ml pot and is
available from many outlets including
pharmacies nationwide and online at

The Cisca Saltpipe is another natural
way to help relieve the symptoms of
hayfever. Invented in Hungary, the Cisca
Saltpipe harnesses the natural healing
power of salt cave therapy in a handheld
porcelain salt pipe that can make a real
difference to hayfever sufferers, helping
to make breathing easier and alleviate
sneezing, coughing and shortness of
breath. The dry salt inhaler contains Halite
salt crystals, formed around 20 million
years ago in Hungarian and Transylvanian
salt caves. Air is drawn through the filters
containing crystal salt and is purified. This
gives the user the sensation of taking a
deep breath of fresh sea air or visiting salt
caves. When inhaling, the moisture of the
air absorbs the microscopic particles of
salt, which penetrate the entire respiratory
tract. It works by drawing excess fluid from
the sinuses and cell lining, cleansing the
nasal passages and opening the airways
to relieve the main cause of congestion
and irritation. The pipes retail at £26.99
