HayMax Organic Allergen Barrier

This multi award winning allergen barrier balm has been proven to prevent more than a third of pollen, as well as dust and pet allergens, from entering the body. Less allergen means less reaction. Simply apply a small amount around your nose and/or eyes to trap pollen and allergens.

A. Vogel Pollinosan

This range of homeopathic medicinal products is made with the belief that small quantities of certain plants and minerals can help trigger the body’s natural healing process and dampen inflammatory processes, helping to relieve hay fever symptoms. You have the choice of a nasal spray, tablets or eye drops!

Reishi to the rescue!

Reishi mushrooms are rich in triterpenes which have strong anti-inflammatory properties, combined with immunomodulatory action, making it an excellent choice for allergies and other inflammatory conditions.

Quercetin

Quercetin is a powerful flavonoid found in many plants and food. Research suggests that it has anti-allergic, antihistamine and antioxidant properties, making it ideal for the high pollen season.

Henleaze Honey
