HayFeverLess Tonic has a formula which is specific as an antihistamine which counters the symptoms of sneezing, wheezing, itchy eyes and nose. It can be used at any time of the year. For more information on Hayfever, read here.
People with allergies may experience adverse reactions due to its histamine-sensitizing properties. Herbs such as shiitake, nettle, chamomile, and feverfew can be so helpful, but see our unique formulation tonic below
Pharmacologists say that it is very likely that the sesquiterpene lactones inhibit prostaglandins with histamine released during the inflammatory process, so preventing spasms of the blood vessels in the head that trigger attacks. As with all such impressive research findings, do not lose sight of the importance of whole plant activity rather than simply identifying ‘active’ ingredients.

I work for the NHS but I am currently a student at the University of Plymouth training to be an occupational therapist. I was first recommended hayfeverless by my partner Ben, Susan’s nephew. It’s been so helpful with my rhinitis, more effective than drug store antihistamines which I have been wanting to stop taking for years!
Many thanks, Freya. UK

More info about Hay Fever
Hay fever is usually worse between late March and September, especially when it’s warm, humid and windy. This is when the pollen count is at its highest.
Check if you have hay fever
Symptoms of hay fever include:
sneezing and coughing
a runny or blocked nose
itchy, red or watery eyes
itchy throat, mouth, nose and ears
loss of smell
pain around your temples and forehead
headache
earache
feeling tired
If you have asthma, you might also:
have a tight feeling in your chest

Hay fever will last for weeks or months, unlike a cold, which usually goes away after 1 to 2 weeks.
How to treat hay fever yourself
—–
To ease your symptoms when the pollen count is high.
Do

– shower and change your clothes after you have been outside to wash pollen off
– stay indoors whenever possible
– keep windows and doors shut as much as possible
– vacuum regularly and dust with a damp cloth
– buy a pollen filter for the air vents in your car and a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter
