What are effective alternative medicines in treating hayfever ?

Question

Cheap alternatives

Answer 1

If you have had too much allergy problem, take a tip from hangover cures.  Try the hair of the dog.

Answer 2

There are some energy therapies that I have found to really help people I know.  It's totally free, and you can do it yourself.  Here's what you do:  If you know what you are allergic to, try to collect a bit of each thing and put it in a sealed bag.  Hold the sealed bag over your chest with one hand, and then point your other hand at your chest and imagine "energy fingers" going from your fingertips, through the bag and into your body -- then "stir" by moving your hand in a circular motion 30 or 40 times.  I imagine the energy of whatever I'm allergic to "mixing" with my own energy, and all balancing out.  I know it sounds absolutely NUTS, but amazingly enough it has worked for me, and for other people I know.  One friend who is allergic to cats used this when she was visiting me and my cat jumped into her lap, and she's not allergic to cats anymore.  She "stirred" the energy of my cat while it was in her lap and had no allergic reaction at all.

Anyways...   try it!  You have nothing to lose.

Answer 3

Local honey works quite well as it contains elements from local vegetation and allows your body to adjust to their characteristics and overcome the allergies they cause.

For some reason brewers yeast tablets increase the white blood cells and it does reduce the symptoms a bit but the side effect tends to be better health in general.

Answer 4

I use New Era Combination H tissue salts, they come in the form of little tablets that you dissolve on the tongue.

They are not too expensive; in the UK I buy a small tub of them for about £5 which lasts me all summer.

They certainly work for me.

Answer 5

try a spoonful of local (unfiltered) honey each day. it'll build up your resistance to local pollen and allergies. try going to a farmers marker or something. it worked for me! good luck

Answer 6

a good herbal detox program, then supplement your diet with vitamin C and _quercetin_

Answer 7

Just take the over the counter stuff.

Also, never give honey to an infant. They can get infantile botulism.

Answer 8

Quercetin, because you can get it in your food. Onions are the best source and very cheap. Apples, citrus fruits, broccoli and cranberries are also good sources.

Answer 9

You might try eating bee pollen or honey made by your local area's bees. I think this has helped my hayfever.

Answer 10

Cheapest one i can think off is a roll of duck tape. Should be about a quid. Simply tape up all apertures to your house and then remain inside till the danger has passed.

Answer 11

Local Honey is the only thing I know that does work on hay fever. It will take a while, probably a few months, but it does work. One thing you need to look at when purchasing your honey is where the bees pollinate. I found one of our 'local' honey producers took his bees to another state to pollinate crops. Now, I always ask where the bee's have been.

Answer 12

the combination of thymuline ans mangaan(Mn) is mostly good working and you can add a daily spoon of pollen

Answer 13

there are no cheap alternatives that i know about.

over-the-counter hay-fever drugs aren't that expensive, here in the uk. Generic versions are the best for cheapness.

i know you can buy herbal versions, available at health-food shops, some containing bee pollen, that can build up your immune system.

but you'll need to ask in shop.
