hayfever, drug free solution

According to government statistics*, 20% of people in the UK suffer from hayfever (allergic rhinitis) caused by pollens of specific seasonal plants.  It is estimated that grass pollen is the cause in 90% of these sufferers.  Symptoms include sneezing, runny nose and itching eyes.  Although most prevalent between mid-spring to end of June, hay fever can be suffered all year round from pollens of trees and weeds.

 There are many things you can to help alleviate the affects of pollen such as eating this season’s locally produced honey, this has a homeopathic effect, ingesting the pollen from honey makes your body less sensitive and less likely to react to the pollen.  However, if you travel away for work or leave the local area, you will be subjected to “foreign pollens” that can trigger the allergy….

One of the best remedies we have found is an organic drug-free pollen barrier, made completely from organic certified ingredients. HayMax™ is applied to the base of each nostril and helps to trap the pollen before it gets into your body.  It was voted Best organic product 2006 and is highly recommended by ITVs Dr. Chris Steele and author of “Beat your allergies”, Dr. Rob Hicks.   Created by Max Wiseberg, a Hay fever sufferer who had tried many remedies to alleviate suffering, he had decided to treat the cause, not the symptoms.

It is so simple; all you need to remember to do is to apply it!  Prevention is better than cure! HayMax™  pure balm will help you to enjoy the outdoors with no side effects.

You can apply to the eye area too (not in the eye and use "pure" version) around the sockets to reduce the pollen that causes itchy eyes – this can sometimes be systemic so simply by putting it around your nose and blocking the pollen, you may find that nasal application is all you need.

Safe enough for children, pregnant women and breastfeeding mums.  HayMax™ has been proven in national press, independent & user trials and also rated as highly as the most effective pharmaceuticals.
