Many of us will be experiencing hay fever right now as the spring arrives, especially when there’s a mild start to the year.

Symptoms are triggered by the release of Alder and Hazel pollen. Hazel trees can live for hundreds of years and are found in birch and oak woodlands as well as areas of scrub and hedgerow. Alder trees are often found by river banks, where the exposed roots in the water can provide excellent hiding places for small fish and critters. However, help is at hand with HayMax, an organic allergen barrier balm for hay fever sufferers that traps tree pollen…

HayMax is an organic drug-free allergen barrier balm that is applied around the rim of the nostrils and the bones of the eyes to trap tree pollen before it gets in the body, reducing your pollen load. Everyone can tolerate a certain amount of pollen without reaction, but once this is exceeded – known as your ‘trigger level’ – an allergic reaction occurs. HayMax works by keeping you below your trigger level for longer.

HayMax has been proven in an independent study to trap over one third of pollen, as well as dust and pet allergens, before they enter the body [1]. In an independent survey by Allergy UK, the leading national charity providing support, advice and information for those living with allergic disease, 80% of respondents said that HayMax worked for hay fever [2]. Many people report that HayMax works straight away, and in the same Allergy UK survey, 94% of participants found HayMax quick to be effective. 44% said that it worked immediately and a further 35% said that it worked within an hour or two.

HayMax has now won over 50 awards, doctors in the media regularly talk about it, glamorous Hollyoaks actress Nadine Mulkerrin has posted about it on Instagram, and two Olympic athletes have used it successfully. It carries the Allergy Friendly Product by Allergy UK, awarded to products that are potentially of benefit to people living with allergy, asthma, or sensitivity and are unlikely to cause a reaction.

There are five varieties of HayMax: Pure, Lavender, Aloe Vera, Frankincense and Kids. As they are drug-free and non-drowsy, they are suitable for children as well as pregnant and breast-feeding mums. They can also be used whilst driving, operating machinery, for exams and sports.

HayMax organic drug-free allergen barrier balms are available from independent chemists, pharmacists and health stores, Holland & Barrett, Booths, Ocado, selected Superdrug, Morrisons and Boots, on 01525 406600 and from www.haymax.biz
