It could help with your hay fever ... recent studies indicate the active ingredient 'curcumin' found in turmeric (a yellow spice widely used in curries) may inhibit the release of 'histamine' in the body (which causes an allergic reaction) and help reduce symptoms'. Next time you're cooking, reach for the turmeric! FUN FACT DID YOU KNOW? Hay fever isn't caused by hay and doesn't result in fever. So, why the name? The term was coined from a A single sneeze can travel up to 100 MPH and produce up to 40,000 droplets!> So remember to cover your mouth when you sneeze and practice good hand hygiene! popular idea in the 19th century that the smell of freshly mown hay in the summer irritated the body*.

EXPERIENCE HAY FEVER How to treat allergies When allergies strike, we may experience multiple symptoms all at once (e.g. itchy eyes, itchy throat and sneezing). Sound familiar? Because of this, pharmacists often suggest 'dual product therapy', which combines two or more complementary products to target different allergy symptoms and provide the best relief. Speak to your pharmacist about what dual support is right for you'. • Corticosteriod nasal sprays: Considered one of the most effective treatments for long-term preventative use, these provide relief from common allergy symptoms by reducing inflammation in the lining of the nose. • Antihistamine tablets: These reduce or block histamines, relieving symptoms of different types of allergies, including seasonal (hay fever), indoor and food allergies. • Antihistamine eye drops: Similar relief to tablet or syrup antihistamines, these block histamines in the body and quickly reduce symptoms like itchy, watery eyes. • Decongestant sprays: Providing fast relief, these help in reducing nasal congestion and sinus pressure by blocking histamines, and however pharmacist dosage advice should be followed as they can cause rebound nasal congestion if used longer than 4-5 days in a row. Decongestant tablets: Oral decongestants are another alternative, but won't cause rebound nasal congestion. • Natural products: Natural saltwater (saline) nasal sprays may clear nasal passage congestion and wash out allergens (e.g. dust and pollen).
