Non-medication approaches to hayfever/allergic rhinitis.
Hi All,
I was wondering what non-pharmacological strategies people used for hayfever?
Here are mine and my experience fwiw...
Increasing fibre/decreasing UPFs - Seems to have helped with sleep. Although a bit difficult to tell if I'm just sleeping a bit better because diet is better!
Saline nasal wash with manganese - Definitely helped, has allowed me to reduce use of nasal steroids and seems to help eye symptoms.
Hypertonic nasal spray with hyaluronic acid - Made things worse, made my mucous all claggy and minging.
Kefir probiotic (live home made culture) - didn't seem to help and I got a GI infection. 😞
Antiallergy pillow - Wool pillow seemed to help. Pesticide treated pillow made no difference.
Regular bedding hot wash - Seems to help
Wax style products around the nose/eyes - no benefit
Eating honey - no apparent change, although tbf it's early days with this for me.
Air purifier - no benefit
