Allergy - Honey Can Cure Your Pollen Allergies For Good!

Grass Allergies

Every year, new allergy medicines are on the market with more hour relief for allergy symptoms. Of course, they will give you stronger side effects.

Grass Allergies

Moreover, all over-the-counter and prescription medicines for allergies are for masking symptoms only without addressing the root cause, so you need them every season. I heard a friend said his best season is winter, because only in winter he can be pollen allergies free. During other seasons of every year, allergy medicines make his life miserable.

Grass Allergies

I heard a remedy to cure pollen allergies.

Grass Allergies

1. Get a bottle of local honey from farmer market or local stores (not from supermarket).

2. Chop a whole lemon to small pieces and mix the lemon pieces into the honey. And then keep the lemon honey in refrigerate for a week.

3. Eat 1 or 3 spoons of honey with lemon pieces every morning on an empty stomach for several months. Do it for several seasons.

Remember that only local honey works, since only local honey contains local pollens, which make you allergy. Supermarket honey is harvested from honey farms, where only one kind of flowers is planted to feed bees.

A friend of mine tried it and it worked for him. Also, I posted this remedy in another site. A lady commented that she used it about 20 years ago, and she has enjoyed pollen allergies free for many-many-many years. She had miserable pollen allergies twice a year before. She said it worked her.

Scientifically, I think it makes sense. Since doctors use allergy shots to treat severe pollen allergy, the shots only contain tiny quantities of pollens. With slowly exposure to pollens over time, your body will get used to them and stop reacting with allergy symptoms.

Local honey contains local pollens. And the lemon changes the honey to acid, for unknown reason, which enhances the curing power of local honey.

Now matter what the principle is, it has no side effects, it is easy to do it and it is a cure for pollen allergies.

Dealing With Pollen Allergies

Grass Allergies

Pollen allergies can be very difficult to deal with. After all, how do you stay away from something that is present in the air you breath? You really can't just shut yourself down during the airborne pollen season. You can only hold your breathe for so long and the pollen season lasts much longer than that. Even staying indoors all the time isn't a shield against all those "nasties" floating around in the air. However, although you can't avoid pollen totally there are definitely lots of things you can do to reduce your exposure and lessen the aggravation of your allergies.

Grass Allergies

Understanding the source of the pollen can always help when it comes to dealing with allergies. Most bright flowery plants rely upon insects to carry pollen from plant to plant and usually these plants are not to blame for pollen allergies. So make sure the plants in your garden are insect pollinated varieties. It is the plain looking grass, trees and weeds that rely upon the wind to accomplish cross-pollination that cause the majority of hay fever problems and allergies for people. Of the three, weeds are the biggest offender. Ragweed is probably the best-known allergy-causing weed but other weeds such as sagebrush, Russian thistle, pigweed and English plantain are just as bad. Although you may not have heard of any of those weeds in your neighborhood that does not mean that the pollen isn't in the air you breath. For example, scientists have found ragweed pollen in the air more than 400 miles out in the ocean and also more than 2 miles up in altitude so to say that weed pollen gets around would be an understatement.

Grass Allergies

So what can you do to help avoid triggering your pollen allergies? To start with you can monitor the pollen count in your area and tailor your activity for periods of relatively low pollen counts. All around the world weather services measure the amount of pollen in the air over a 24-hour period and make this information readily available. You can find this information either in your local newspaper, on the internet or get it from the local weather service.

Grass Allergies

Most of us are aware that pollen release is seasonal reaching a peak in the fall months but pollen levels are also higher during certain times of the day. Pollen levels are almost always higher in the morning hours between 6 and 11 so if you are going to be outdoors gardening or going for a walk in the park it is best to do it in the afternoon. Although weather does not trigger plants to release pollen it can have a big effect on what is in the air. Cold rainy weather tends to knock down much of the pollen in the air so getting out into the garden after a rain shower is often a good idea. Hot dry weather, of course, has the opposite effect of increasing airborne pollen counts. Wearing a hat when you are out and taking it off before you go inside will also help to keep pollen outdoors. Washing thoroughly after coming in from the garden will also help to keep pollen outside your house.

Hay Fever and Grass Pollen - 7 Answers to Questions About Pollen and Hay Fever

Grass Allergies

Hay fever affects millions of people around the world every year. And one of the most common and prolific triggers is grass pollen. Because climate is regional, so is pollen's arrival. But whenever grass pollen shows up in your town, knowing the answers to the following frequently asked questions will help you cope.

Grass Allergies

What is Hay Fever? It is a pollen allergy that is triggered by tree, grass or weed pollen. Once inhaled, the body reacts with a runny nose, sneezing, congestion, watery eyes and other symptoms which can make the allergy sufferer so miserable. Reacting with these symptoms is commonly referred to as allergic rhinitis.

Grass Allergies

How can you tell whether you're allergic to grass pollen or to something else? The best way to determine what triggers your allergies is to see an allergist. You will be given a skin test for a variety of allergens and they will be able to tell you whether your allergies result from a one particular allergen, or a combination of allergens which is more often the case.

Grass Allergies

Can Hay Fever be the result of an allergic reaction to something other than grass pollen? Yes, it can not only be an allergic reaction to pollen from not only grass, but trees, and weeds or a combination.

When is Hay Fever Season? Depending on what you are allergic to, the season starts in early spring will tree pollen, continues in spring and summer with grass pollen, and on through summer and late fall with weed pollen.

Are there any medications that can provide relief? Yes, there are several approaches that medicines take. One type minimizes the symptoms once they are occurring (antihistamines, corticosteroids, and decongestants), and the other type minimizes your body's sensitivity to the triggers (leukotriene modifiers and Cromolyn sodium) therefore reducing the reaction and the symptoms which would normally follow. The best plan is to see an allergist who will create a plan that best suits your overall health and the severity of your condition.

Are there any newer treatments on the horizon? Grazax, a once a day tablet that was developed in England several years ago, is being used for children age 5-17 in England and Canada who suffer with severe hay fever. Its 2 prong approach works to not only control symptoms, but sensitivity to the allergen. There have been studies done here in the States, but the drug, as of this date, does not have FDA approval.

Can a HEPA air purifier really be effective in removing pollen? High efficiency particle arresting (or HEPA) air purifiers are extremely efficient in eliminating pollen because by definition they are designed to remove airborne particulates down to .3 microns. Tree, grass and weed pollens range from 2 to 100 microns in size, so they are easily trapped by a filter whose openings are only .3 microns. In addition, these cleaners can also trap other household pollutants that often combine to exacerbate hay fever such as household dust, mold and mildew spores, and pet dander.

Controlling Pollen Allergy Symptoms at Home

Grass Allergies

Preventing your pollen allergy symptoms from being triggered as often in your home is possible with the help of several allergy control products. As with the other types of allergies, there are two parts to controlling your pollen allergies: cleaning and prevention.

Grass Allergies

Before you can prevent your pollen allergy symptoms from acting up in the future, you need to clean the existing pollen out of your home. All the prevention strategies in the world won't help if the pollen grains are already inside. To get started, follow the cleaning guidelines below.

Grass Allergies

Cleaning

Grass Allergies

Since pollen is one of the components of household dust, the first thing you should do is thoroughly dust your home. DO NOT dry dust your home...aka dust with just a dry cloth. All this does is relocate allergens rather than remove them. Use a dusting solution, electrostatic cloths, or a HEPA vacuum to dust instead.

Always wear a pollen mask...also called an allergy mask or dust mask...when doing any allergy cleaning. You will kick up a lot of allergens when you clean. Of course, it's always best if the allergy sufferer doesn't do the cleaning.

Once your dusting has been completed, wash any curtains, drapes, or rugs you may have in your home. It's best to not have these...as cloth products will accumulate allergens...but I know it's tough to part with them. Just make sure they are washed with a natural laundry detergent in 130 degree water on a weekly basis.

Finally, vacuum all carpeting in your home with a HEPA vacuum cleaner only. This type keeps pollen and other allergens from recirculating as you vacuum. Any upholstered furniture that remains in your house should be vacuumed as well. Again, it's best not to have carpet or upholstered furniture in the house if at all possible. However, should you follow these guidelines; you will find your pollen allergy symptoms won't bother you near as much.

Prevention

Once you've done the best job you can cleaning up all the pollen in your home, the next step is preventing it from getting inside again. Keep in mind that using these cleaning and prevention methods isn't a one time deal. It is a constant process if you want to reduce your pollen allergy symptoms.

Use these prevention methods to help keep pollen at bay....

• Keep your windows closed at all times. If it gets too warm, use the air conditioning to keep your home cool. Air conditioning...whether it be window units or central air...help filter out allergens and deep the humidity down.

• If you don't have air conditioning and must keep windows open to stay cool, use a window filter in each window to keep pollen out. Be sure to use allergy filters in your HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system and keep up with replacing them!

• Ensure that all your windows and doors are airtight and not letting any outside air in. You may need to put up or replace some weather stripping....or do some caulking.

• Keep the area(s) around the door(s)to your home clean and free of clutter...aka places where allergens can collect. Also, keep a rubber mat in front of your doors so visitors can wipe their shoes before entering. Once they have entered ask them kindly to remove their shoes...shoes bring pollen and other allergens in the house.

• If possible, stay inside on days with a high pollen count. It may seem obvious but this is the best way to control your pollen allergy symptoms. If you must go out, wear an allergy mask or use allergen screen gel. When you come back in, take a shower and put on clean clothes. Wash the clothes you had on while you were outside with natural laundry detergent.

• When doing laundry, never hang your clothes outside to dry. While drying in the warm sun, you clothes are catching pollen grains that you will bring in with your clothes when they are dry. Until washed again in an allergy natural laundry detergent, those clothes subject you to pollen. You can also spread the pollen throughout your house when you wear those clothes.

• Use a HEPA air purifier in your home...especially in your bedroom. It will really help to filter out the pollen (and other allergens) from the air. This is important as you spend most of your life there.

• If you have a pet, wipe it down once a week with pet wipes. Pollen attaches to their coat while outside...and they bring it back in with them and disperse it around your home. Pet wipes also help control other allergens like dander and dust mites. Wipes will help control these allergens in your pets hair between baths.

Following these cleaning and prevention guidelines will help you find relief this allergy season and all of them to come.

Pollen Allergies - Will an Air Purifier Help?

Grass Allergies

The Misery Of Allergies

Grass Allergies

As a young boy I was one of the kids who had to stay indoors to avoid the misery that came with sneezing, sniffling and asthma which came from pollen, grass and leaves. Weekly shots at the allergist and medications were a weekly routine. And even though I was only age 11 (1969) I began to experiment with air purifiers and air cleaners of all kinds. When you can't breathe you'll do anything for relief.

Grass Allergies

Here are the primary types of air purification, with a quick rundown on their effectiveness for pollen allergies.

Grass Allergies

Ionizers
My first was an air ionizer, negative ion generator to be more precise. Good for some forms of mildew, pollution, and odor, but not very good for pollen or dust since there is nothing to collect the pollen in the air. RATING FOR ALLERGIES: POOR

Ozone Machines
Ozone generators were my next experiment. Good for odor, mold, and mildew, but again not good for gathering pollen and dust. Too much ozone will irritate the lungs, especially in asthmatics. Ozone machines did little for allergies. Today's primary Ozone brand is Ecoquest (formerly Alpine). RATING FOR ALLERGIES: POOR

Electrostatic Plates or "Truman Cells"
My next was an electrostatic machine with positive and negatively charged plates. Oreck calls it a "Truman Cell" ( for Harry Truman during WWII is all we can figure) but they're all over the market and often called "ionic" or "electrostatic". Good for pollution since carbon from car exhaust is charged, and they're washeable. Since most pollen and dust carries little charge however they are not effective for pollen or dust RATING FOR ALLERGIES: POOR

Carbon and/or Zeolite
These type of air purifiers are primarily for smoke, chemicals, odors and fumes since these organic minerals absorb and trap gases. But they do not trap dust and pollen. RATING FOR ALLERGIES: POOR

HEPA
HEPA is the first choice for pollen allergies because it traps and holds pollen and dust. Doctors and Allergists recommend it most. The downside is you have to replace it every year or so. So make sure you find affordable replacement filters as some companies can soak you after you own their Hepa air purifier. I would avoid the expensive (0-800) air purifiers like IQAIR and Austin Air which are primarily HEPA. They're just too over-priced for a HEPA filter, and even though they are well made you can find a comparable ones for under 0. RATING FOR ALLERGIES: EXCELLENT

WAIT BEFORE YOU BUY A HEPA AIR PURIFIER
So while HEPA is the primary method of air purification for pollen allergies and asthma today you can find affordable air purifiers that use multiple technologies including HEPA. The reason you want more than HEPA is that pollution, mold, mildew and other contaminants (besides pollen and dust) all burden your immune system and can make pollen allergies worse. Little-known brands like AliveAir and Airpodcleaner use a large HEPA filter plus 8 other technologies including Electrostatic, Carbon, UV (to kill mold and mildew) protecting your body and making cleaner, purer air. Some of these models also use advanced pollen and dust sensors which detect pollen and dust levels and adjust the purification accordingly.

You really only have to think about how you are going to get through the few hours in the morning and at night. The pollen allergies that you have will depend on the environment and what you find in your surrounding.

Grass Allergies

A lot of people are allergic to grass pollens. Grass pollens are the worst because you may have many neighbors and such that will cut grass and not on the same day. You may have hay fever for weeks at a time because of the various people cutting their grass. However, you have to think about not only the grass, but also the flowers and the trees.

Grass Allergies

The trees will give off their pollens in both the spring and summer. You will want to keep in mind that there are trees around you like oak and such that will let off their pollens and you may need to take some meds in the morning and night. Some people will also find that there other seasonal allergic triggers that will bring on a full attack.

You will find that there are many sensitivities that you will have all year around. You will want to consult your doctor about the allergies that you may have and get tested. Once you get tested, you will want to think about what it is that you will be able to avoid and keep hay fever at bay. However, the testing will make you have reactions and it can be very uncomfortable, so you may want to bring some conclusions as to what you may be allergic too. You may end up having to test for several things so that you can avoid your allergies.

Pollen Allergy Season - 5 Ways to Make Your Life Better

Grass Allergies

If your eyes are burning, your nose is running, and you have a dull headache because of the thick layer of pollen that has suddenly covered the earth, you probably have a pollen allergy. Here are probably some old ideas, and hopefully some new ones to allow you to enjoy the season until the pollen that is affecting you is gone.

Grass Allergies

Invest in a high efficiency particle arresting HEPA air purifier to remove the pollen and let it run continuously to filter the pollen from your indoor air. Pollen size varies from approximately 10 to 10,000 microns, and a HEPA air purifier removes airborne pollutants including pollen and many other pollutants as small as .3 microns.
Park in a garage. If your home has one, now is a great time to put your car in the garage each night to eliminate the thick layer of pollen that accumulates. If you drive to work, try parking in an open space rather than under trees to lessen the pollen that will fall on your car. If possible, see if there is a garage that you can park in while at work to keep you car pollen free.
Clear the walkways to your home. Have someone who is not sensitive to pollen use water to clear the walkways and steps to avoid tracking the pollen into your home or office.
Keep the windows closed. Even a slight breeze, regardless of how wonderful it feels, will bring in thousands of pollen particles.
If you are an avid gardener or just want to be outside, wear a high efficiency particle arresting HEPA mask. These can be found at your local hardware store. Of course a mask probably is not something you would feel comfortable wearing to a party, but if you are in the yard around your home, a mask will surely help.

Grass Allergies

Using a HEPA air purifier, parking in a garage, clearing the paths to your home and/or office, keeping the windows closed, and wearing a mask when possible will help improve your quality of life, and make the most of the pollen season.

Take good care,

Much of the problem behind the theory, the bees collect pollen to make honey, but most come from flowers, but most of the symptoms of pollen allergy is not caused by pollens. The pollen is heavy and is not in the diffusionthe wind very easy to understand why the flowers rely on bees to pollinate help. Most allergies are caused by weeds, grass or tree pollen, which is lighter and uses the wind to spread their pollen and to reproduce the problem. Plants that spread their pollen in this manner are called Transmission.

Grass Allergies

Pollen grains to make different proteins in their outer envelope 30-40.The female flower is to distinguish these proteins in the game right for pollination. When you breathe in pollen grains or eyes, are proteins, as if they had landed on a woman refused to receptive stigmas.

Grass Allergies

Normally the immune system by foreign proteins would be discarded. Some people have an immune system that will not remove the pollen proteins. On the contrary, a process that produces a chemical called histamine. TheHistamine causes allergy symptoms.

Mid-October to late March are usually the months when the pollen in the air. It depends on the region because of the plant in response to the climate. The flowering trees, when the weather begins in spring. The flowering period for each type of tree will take about two weeks, but the pollinators dates only last a few days.

The grass family (Poaceae) is extremely broad, with more than 10,000 species worldwide. About 1000 of them are distributed in the U.S. and only 400 in Europe. Grassland herbs tend to produce more pollen than those of poor soils.Pollen> the grass is too large to enter the lower respiratory tract and often cause problems in the nose and eyes, rather than asthma. Herbs that are commonly associated with hay fever are:

Grass Allergies

* Alopecurus (foxtail)

Grass Allergies

* Anthoxanthum (spring)

Grass Allergies

* Arrhenatherum (oat grass)

* Cornus (Dogstail)

* Festuca (fescue)

* Lolium (rye)

* Phleum (Timothy)

* Poa (meadow)

The grass may be high in the upper atmosphere and detectedseveral kilometers into the sea, and therefore are widely used. As a result of local efforts to control the levels are usually unnecessary. Hay fever is still present in the city, though much less than in rural areas of pasture.

In the cities, according to the winds and the local geography, the attacks of hay fever tend to tip a day or two after the release of pollen is in the countryside. It is interesting to note that the heat generated by the cities of pollen in the air contains soAt ground level measures of pollen are lower than those of the country. However, this is not all good news, because the interaction takes the pollen with the city of pollution of the symptoms that occur at relatively low levels of allergens.

Pollen allergy and headache

Grass Allergies

Pollen allergies, and headaches are often said to have no connection, but suffer from pollen allergies, when every year and as a result of suffering from headaches, are closely related.

Grass Allergies

These headaches hurt and in most cases, you tried not to work very effectively. In some cases, it may be your allergist or family doctor several times disappeared, but the headache, which is based in the middle of the eye remains. This is not yourImagination is very, very real.

Grass Allergies

But there may be two solutions which are very effective most of the medical community not to speak. Two solutions that are very cheap and have been used for thousands of years, but some people have not tried yet.

Grass Allergies

Natural honey and feverfew may be the answer you're looking for.

Pollen season:

A seasonal allergy is an allergic reaction to eggs powder for small grains that are released, or if you reallyOne could say that you launched. To make matters worse, not only because it can be released in the spring in the spring, summer or autumn. The only real relief is that you have in the winter months.

Allergy pollen of trees, grasses, herbs and even in advance. You are the wind or by insects, use the pollen to make other plants that are similar in nature to pollinate. If you experience this pollen can affect your eyes, nose, lungs, and in someCases, the skin. All of them could be causing the headaches.

There are also some experts who say that the spread of pollen by insects such as bees do not cause seasonal allergies, pollen is carried by the wind. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Spring allergies are usually caused by trees, summer and fall allergies, allergies caused by weeds through. If all of these safely reached their pollenspecific designation, there would be no problems, but it is not. Many of them end up in the nose, eyes or throat, and are often called hay fever or rose fever.

Combating the Pollen

Your body has many natural defenses to fight against the allergen produced by various types of pollen and other allergens. Your nose, mouth, eyes and lungs are the first line of defense, but when the pollen is strong enough it will happen soon if this defense, and when that happens, weis a series of events taking place.

Your body produces an antibody called IgE-binding allergens. These antibodies with any other version of the forms instead of blood cells for a variety of chemicals. One of these chemicals is histamine, the chemical causes most of the symptoms you have.

Therefore, most medications for allergies include over-the-counter histamine, as it is very effective for some people to reduce allergic reactions. Butfor many people it's just that something effective, and does nothing for the headache.
