Hay fever is an over-reaction

Hay fever, like any allergic response, is actually an over reaction. Hay fever is medically labeled as 'seasonal allergies".

Pollen from blooming or pollinating pants can cause all the symptoms of hay fever from streaming eyes, sneezing and general irritation of the delicate linings of the nasal passage, throat and eyes. Hay fever like any allergy is an over reaction of the immune system. The immune system wrongly determines the pollen as a threat and produces a big unnecessary response.

Hay fever is usually seasonal.

Hay fever can affect up to 20% of the population. For most people hay fever is seasonal and they only experience the symptoms during the spring and summer pollen season. For a minority of sufferers the symptoms last all year round and can be caused by house dust mites, mould and animal fur. This can feel like having a permanent cold and sore throat.

Pollen is basically a grain to transport the male DNA to the female part of the flower. There are different types of pollen, the most common allergen is grass pollen.

Hay fever like any allergy is an over reaction of the immune system. The immune system wrongly determines the pollen as a threat and produces a big unnecessary response.

Medical treatments include antihistamines and steroids which work to calm the immune systems over reaction. However medical treatments are palliative and won't necessarily stop the symptoms from starting in the first place.

Hypnosis can help re-set unconscious patterns so that the immune system only responds to what it needs to respond to not what it doesn't need to.
