Hi all, at the ripe old age of 34 I think I have developed hayfever - what a joy!!
I really didn't think it was possible. How ignorant of me
I don't have the sneezing which is great but I do have the snuffly dribbly nose. My eyes are an absolute nightmare though!! Bored of all the redness, dry and ouchy eyes. I wear contacts for work but take em out at home so cannot really find anything to help a contact wearer.
Self diagnosed myself as the opticians/eye clinic weren't able to say why my eyes were getting so many infections and being so sore. My left eye started with it first so just kept thinking it was an infection and the medicated eye drops sorted it but now I get it in both eyes. Bored of it now!! Perfumes and similar strong smells really hurt my eyes some days.
Does anyone know of any remedies/cures please? Open to anything really medical/herbal/crystals/therapies etc
I have tried the Luffa spray and that helps the snuffles but not my eyes.
(Sorry to post yet another 'Hay fever' snippet but everyone is different in what works for them)
I make up a sterile salt solution of 1 litre of boiled water to 1 teaspoon of sea salt (ordinary table salt will do) - cover and allow to cool. This will keep a week if kept covered. Use with eye bath to wash out eyes and can also be used for washing out the sinuses (just snort it up each nostril). This was recommended to me years ago by an eye consultant when I had tried every product under the sun in vain on my itchy eyes. It really does work - but make sure the solution is at room temperature before you use it. I keep mine in a sealed tupperware jug.
That sounds like a good plan. Yes I forgot to mention that my sinuses are also a pain in the bum and make me feel like a belt is wrapped around my head sometimes. Though it made me feel squeamish at the thought of snorting it :S
Are you stressed?
Emotionally with regards to your eyes: What is it you don't wish to look at?
I had severe hayfever for some 40 years and finally got rid of it by supporting my immune system and improving my diet - a wholefood diet with very little sugar, not too much protein and lots of fruit and veg - 3 fruits and 5 veg daily - quite a job to consume that much! and some extra supplements.
Of those vitamin C with zinc is probably the most important - certainly 1000mg vit C per day up to 10gms ( but I'd start with 1000, and increase by 500mg daily until they symptoms decrease or you start getting loose stools, the go back to the lower dose. Zinc I'd limit to 45mg per day while you have the problem and then reduce to 25mg daily in total.
I would also take a multivitamin/multimineral (eg Solgar or Holland and Barrett MegaMultis) which has extra B vits in which will be used up rapidly when the body is under stress.
There are also other helpful supplements if the above doesn't do the trick.
Wishing you the best of health

Things that go bump in the night!!
Since my Reiki attunement last year I have become aware of a spirit in my own house (lived here 12 1/2 years and never felt a thing before). Dealing with it a lot better but sleep with my head under the covers lol.
Became terrified of the dark again. Always been scared but this was really bad with dreams of spirits actually shaking or holding me. This has passed recently.
Also scared of losing my Grandad to death but I just have to deal with it!!
It's all kinda new to me but I am happy for this to have happened to me and wouldn't change it for anything.

Thanks for your input I do eat more fruit but feel extremely sluggish and tired a lot so will definately try taking the Vit C and Zinc.
Thank you for your replies x

Bach Mimulus is a good essence to take for known fears.
Hi Meashadow,
Along with the suggestions already made, Tachyonized Hayfever & Allergy Remedy can also help.
"The herbs in this compound act as an astringent, anti-inflammatory, and decongestant for the membranes of the throat and upper respiratory tract, nose, sinuses and eyes."
Would suggest combining it with the Immune system tonic and the Ultra-C for a fast, targeted approach. Has worked for many people I know.
Warmest Regards,

Will finish my pack of Benadryl (expensive I know!!) and try that thank you x
Also going to have a look for EFT and Hayfever too as I really think that helped with my fear of the dark x
Cure for hayfever:
I find that a few ice cold pints of Fosters, Carling, or miller Lite seem to drastically reduce the irritation. Really works.
Anyone remember Bill Werbunek the snooker player who could'nt play unless he had drunk 12 (!) pints of lager.

Yummy Carling!! going to a Hen night later so will try that though I am only staying out for 2 drinks. Not really drinking since Reiki attunement and not really missing it either.
If it was my arm that was hurting I could deal with it hurting and move on from it. But when my eyes are sore, dry and sting it really does get me down. Got hayfever drops so hoping they will work their magic.
Thanks everyone x x

Make sure its pints of Carling. Half pints don't seem to work too well.
ps Is there anywhere to go in Keighley ????
Yes it was definitely 2 pints of carling - I don't do halves!!
To be honest I ain't a lover of Keighley - getting a little too rough for me. Too many people getting off their heads on drugs and asking for money. 😮
