Allergy Treatment
Hay Fever
You must be interested in hay fever remedies and allergy treatment, if you suffer from seasonal or constant (year-round) hay fever symptoms. Thanks to the constantly degrading condition of the environment more and more people are getting allergies of different kind. Besides the medical treatment there are loads of effective natural remedies which bring relief to the annoying symptoms of hay fever.
Cause and Symptoms of Hay Fever
Allergic reaction is an abnormal response by the immune system to a foreign invader: known as an allergen. The immune system is overreacting to certain harmless substances such as pollen, dust mites, animal fur, feather or molds (mould spores). An allergic person is over-sensitive to a substance, which normally does not cause any problems. This reaction is a failure of the immune system.
During the allergic response histamine is released from the mast cells in abundance, which can quickly produce all sorts of mucus membrane symptoms. They are the symptoms of hay fever.
Hay Fever Symptoms
• frequent sneezing and/or
• blocked and/or runny nose and/or
• itchy, red, swollen, watery eyes and/or
• itchy sensation in the nose, ears, lips, mouth or throat.
• Sometimes headache and/or
•nosebleeds may occur.
Breathing problems, allergy cough and asthma can occur during serious allergy and hay fever reactions.

Definitely call the doctor if difficulty in breathing rapidly develops and worsens.
Seek immediate medical attention when there is a swelling of the lips, mouth or throat.
Natural Allergy Treatment for Hay Fever
Mother nature provides us several natural antihistamines, which relieve hay fever symptoms quickly and effectively. They are sometimes more effective than expensive medicines.
So, let's see some of the natural solutions for hay fever problems:
Apple Cider Vinegar
First of all our old folk remedy, Apple Cider Vinegar, is extremely helpful in the prevention and treatment of allergy symptoms. Best is organic, raw, unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar with the 'mother'.
Mix 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar in a glass of water (250ml) and gulp the mixture at once. If you find the mixture to strong, use less vinegar, only 1 teaspoon perhaps. Use it 2-3 times a day. If taken at the onset of symptoms, improvement occurs immediately or in 1-3 hours. If you have been experiencing allergies for several days, your symptoms will diminish slowly - after about one day perhaps. If you don't notice any ease of your hay fever symptoms after 2-3 days, stop taking the remedy. For long term use I recommend 2 teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar in 500 ml water and sipping slowly during the day.
People often have problems with the taste of Apple Cider Vinegar, so here you have a few tips to benefit the taste of the remedy:
• give to the water-apple cider vinegar mixture 1 tsp honey , if you are sure honey does not worsen your symptoms
• mix Apple Cider Vinegar in apple juice (instead of water)
•mix Apple Cider Vinegar in herbal tea
If your stomach is sensitive to vinegar and feels upset after drinking the remedy give 1/4 tsp baking soda to 250ml Apple Cider Vinegar mixture.
You may keep using the Apple Cider Vinegar mixture (2 teaspoons of vinegar in 500 ml water sipping slowly during the day) for the whole hay fever season. It will decrease your inclination to allergy.
WARNING! Your teeth don't like this acidic drink (may decay sooner), so rinse your mouth with tap water after drinking the remedy.
Another simple possibility is opening the Apple Cider Vinegar bottle and just inhaling - through your nose - the vapors coming out of it. It is able to open up the nose passages immediately, to decrease mucus formation and to calm allergic irritation. Don't overuse it as the acidic vapor may damage the mucus membrane.
