For many, the warmer weather we've recently had will come as a welcome relief, but if you’re one of the 15 million people in the UK affected by hay fever, you may not want to hang up your hanky just yet! Hay fever (or Allergic Rhinitis), is a medical condition which covers a number of symptoms and is characterised by inflammation of the nose, throat and sinuses. Fed up of suffering from hay fever symptoms? Then why not give hay fever the heave-ho with Hay-Band!
*Hay-Band has provided the prizes for this giveaway, I have not received any form of gifted or financial incentive from them to promote this giveaway*
The Hay-Band works by applying pressure to the acupressure point on either arm, called the LI-11 point. The principles of ancient Chinese acupressure have been used for centuries to help treat the symptoms of allergy, including hay fever.
Acupressure is believed to increase the flow of natural energy through the stimulation of various pressure points and in doing so, help unblock energy pathways to the nose and throat, and promote wellbeing.
The LI-11 point can be found at the end of the crease at the elbow. Once located, simply slide the Hay-Band into position so that the button faces inwards over the pressure point, with the bands passing either side of the elbow.
The band is fast-acting and may be worn on either arm or if symptoms are acute - one can be worn on both arms. A drug-free, natural product, the band can also be put in place as a preventative.
There is no drowsiness or other side effects and the band is suitable for adults and children over the age of three, but not suitable for use during pregnancy.
It is estimated that 15 million people in the UK are affected by hay fever with grass pollen by far the biggest trigger. Pollen causes cells to release histamine and other chemicals, resulting in a runny, itchy nose, blocked sinuses, sneezing, redness and watering of the eyes, and/or a sore, itchy throat.
