Our Top Tips for Hayfever

There's no doubt that with the amazing weather we have had that there has been an increase in customers looking for hayfever treatments. Although the good weather seems to be leaving (hopefully not for too long), the Pollen count is meant to stay quite high.

There is no question that itchy, watery eyes, throat and noses is frustrating. We have lots of treatments in store from anti histamine tablets to eye drops and acupressure bands designed to help ease the annoyance of Hayfever. There are some things you can do along with these treatments to help.

• Vaseline applied around and in the nose acts as a barrier and traps pollen spores before they enter your system. 
•  Keep an eye on the pollen count. Asthma Ireland have a great pollen tracker that covers all four provinces.
• Dry your clothes inside where possible. Washing them will get rid of pollen but once they are put out to dry, pollen is more than likely will come back onto them.
• Your hair can also be a place where pollen hides so giving it a regular rinse will help.
