Are You Allergic to Grass?

Grass pollen is the main cause of hay fever in the UK, with an estimated 95% of all sufferers allergic to the stuff. The season for grass pollen runs from May to July each year; with the worst time for sufferers being June and July. HayMax allergen barrier balms provide an effective defence against grass pollen; they are proven in independent studies to trap pollen grains before they enter the body...

HayMax is an organic balm, based on beeswax and sunflower oil, which is applied around the rim of the nostrils and the bones of the eyes to trap pollen before it causes havoc in the body. People prone to hay fever can tolerate a certain amount of pollen without reaction. But once this is exceeded – called the trigger (or sensitivity) level – the allergic reaction occurs. HayMax works by reducing the amount of pollen entering the body, so the sufferer can stay symptom free for longer, or even all day.

In a survey by leading allergy charity Allergy UK in 2015, when asked if, overall, HayMax worked, 80% said “Yes” [1]. And an independent trial by the National Pollen & Aerobiology Research Unit (NPARU) in 2012 proved that it trapped over one third of pollen grains before they entered the body.[2]

These popular balms have now won over 40 awards over the last 11 years. The latest are three gold awards from a leading parenting website for the Pure, Aloe Vera and Lavender varieties.

HayMax is drug-free and the ingredients have been chosen to be suitable for children of all ages, and pregnant and breast-feeding women.

All the ingredients are organically grown and the balms are certified organic by the Soil Association. Many people choose organic products, particularly when buying for their children; Lucy Johnson comments, “HayMax helps the children's hayfever.” She goes on to say “…… it eases the sneezing and running eyes and is organic so they can use it as much as they like.”

HayMax should be applied morning and evening during the hayfever season, and after sneezing or blowing the nose. It comes in a small handy pot – ideal for a pocket, purse, handbag, school bag or sports bag – that can last up to 6 months.

There are no drowsy side-effects from using HayMax, so it is ideal for when driving, running, cycling or taking part in other sports, for people with active lifestyles and when preparing for and taking exams.
HayMax organic drug-free allergen barrier balms retail at £6.99 per pot and are available from Holland & Barrett, Booth’s supermarkets, selected Morrisons, Waitrose and Boots, independent health stores, chemists and pharmacies, on 01525 406600 and on-line at haymax.biz.
