Hay fever affects 1 in four people in the UK, says Philip Weeks, an expert in natural medicine, herbs and nutrition. However, by altering your diet you can dramatically reduce your symptoms.
Weeks says, ‘I advise many of my patients to avoid wheat and dairy during the hay fever season which can reduce symptoms dramatically.’
By adding the following foods to your daily diet, Weeks believes that you can also lessen your symptoms:
Nettle
In the form of tea and soup it can help with itchy eyes and sneezing.
Pineapple
Contains the anti inflammatory enzyme bromelain which can help to relieve a bunged up nose.
Rose Hip Tea
Contains Vitamin C and helps the body deal with allergies.
Onions, garlic and apples
They all contain ‘quercetin’ a strong natural antihistamine.
