There’s something in the air and it ain’t love
in the early morning of October 15th, 2007
Weeping, itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing, headaches and just the sheer misery of these and other symptoms are generally symptomatic of Hayfever or allergic Rhinitis which is basically a reaction to pollen and fungal spores.
The culprits of an attack of hayfever are the pollen from trees, weeds, and some flowers and grass and whilst it’s impossible to avoid an attack there are things you can do to minimise your exposure:
- Check the the pollen count on the weather, anything exceeding a count of 50, spells trouble for you
- Pollen will rise during the day, so keep windows closed
- Your washing may dry rapidly on a warm and windy day but the fibres in your clothes will also trap pollen, consider drying them indoors
- Finally, you could consider living by the sea, as the pollen will be blown inland
Apart from limiting your exposure, there are things you can do to make your life easier:
Imbue a handkerchief or tissue with a combination of three of any of the following essential oils suggested;
4 drops of three of the following only:
To clear the atmosphere in your home try 6 drops of a combination of any of the three listed above in an oil burner. Experiment and see what works best for you.
