If you've ever woken up feeling like you've gone ten rounds with Mike Tyson, with your eyes and nose engaged in a race against each other, then welcome to the Hay Fever Club. Honestly, it's not a club I signed up for willingly. But if you're experiencing sneezing fits, itchy everything, wheezing, and a general sense of exhaustion, you're probably a member too – whether you like it or not
Living in Spain means taking on Mother Nature's floral battalion, especially during the peak seasons of March, April, and May. With orange and olive blossoms in full bloom, it's like walking into a perfume trap – irresistible yet debilitating. I can't help but take in long drags of their perfume as it draws you in, hypnotising you, the citrus fragrance begging you to take bigger deeper drags each time. Personally, I've declared war on the olive blossoms, which seem to find their way into every nook and cranny when the valley winds pick up.
Nettle Tea: Who needs garden weeds when you can brew them into a soothing cup of tea? Nettles pack a punch with their anti-inflammatory powers.
Quercetin: Imagine having your own personal bodyguard against hay fever. Found in fruits, veggies, and supplements, quercetin battles inflammation and histamines like a pro.
Vitamin C: No longer just for scurvy prevention, vitamin C is a superhero against inflammation and a natural antihistamine.
Hydration: Drinking water is like giving your body a high-five, keeping histamines at bay and giving your liver a break from processing all that wine (though, let's be real, a little indulgence is okay...right?).
Local Honey: A spoonful of local honey a day might just keep the hay fever blues away, thanks to its immunity-boosting properties straight from the neighbourhood bees.
So, fellow warriors in the battle against pollen, what's your secret weapon? Let's swap remedies and tackle this sneeze-fest together! Please comment below....
