Question Hayfever:::
I've just been in the garden and have an allergy to my garden.
Whats the best easy way to avoid it besides not going into the garden.
Its gets worse every year.
Skin itches, sneezing coughing and runny nose, when this happens.
I'm a tough bloke but this has got me wheezing and avoiding my husbandry
duties (in the garden that is)


Hi Jon
My daughter, my father and I all suffer from hay fever quite badly. We
have worked out that when the mango trees flower and native gums in our
area flower that we are worst. I was speaking to the nurse sister at my
daughters day care about this problem and she is into naturopahty . She
suggested between an teaspoon and a tablespoon of "local" honey everyday
(By local honey, I mean honey from your local area, I buy ours from the
local health food shop or craft markets). I have been doing this for a
couple of years now (usually and dessertspoon on the ceral in the morning
and none of has had hayfever since. Apparently it is something to do with
what the bees do with the pollen when they put it into the hives.
Hope this helps.
Gaynor
