Hay Fever — Understanding and Managing Seasonal Allergies.
Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is a common condition that affects millions of people, particularly during the Spring season. It’s more than just a nuisance—it can impact your daily life, energy levels, and overall well-being. Let’s explore what hay fever is, why it’s worse in Spring, and how we can help you manage it at Tahnee Raine.
Hay fever is an allergic response to airborne substances like pollen, dust mites, or pet dander. When you breathe in these allergens, your immune system reacts as if it’s fighting off harmful invaders, releasing histamines that trigger uncomfortable symptoms.
Spring is a time of blooming flowers, fresh grass, and budding trees—while beautiful, it’s also a season of increased pollen production. Tree, grass, and weed pollens are at their peak, and warmer weather combined with windy days can spread these allergens, making hay fever symptoms more severe.
Common hay fever symptoms include:
- Sneezing
- Runny or blocked nose
- Itchy, watery eyes
- Itchy throat or ears
- Fatigue
- Coughing or wheezing
These symptoms can vary in severity and often worsen when pollen counts are high, especially in the mornings or on windy days.
While managing hay fever often involves over-the-counter medications or avoiding triggers, at Tahnee Raine, we offer more personalised approaches.
