The Juice People says that its Hay Fever Aid (pictured) combines anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory ingredients
For the
millions of hayfever sufferers hiding indoors seeking shelter from high
pollen counts, a new juice could be the key to banishing the seasonal
sniffles.
One
company claims they have found a healthy and tasty way to relieve the
incessant sneezing, runny nose and streaming eyes that blights
sufferers' summers.
And the good news is you can blend the remedy yourself.
The
Juice People, based in Covent Garden, London, says its Hayfever Aid
combines anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory ingredients, offering an
alternative remedy to dreaded condition.
They claim the tasty juice helps relieve symptoms, ‘without any of those drowsy drugs leaving you skipping through the summer'.
The
concoction, which includes pineapple, lemon, apple and ginger, is full
of vitamin C ‘to enhance its pollen-leveling effects and minimise the
immune system’s response’.
According
to the NHS, hayfever affects one in five people at some point in their
lives and this year, the pollen count is said to be twice as high as
usual.
The
number of hayfever sufferers in the UK will double to reach 30 million
in the next two decades as rising pollution levels trapping pollen in
the atmosphere, experts have warned and 15million Britons are already
battling the symptoms.
Adrianna
Stoyanova, in-house nutritionist at The Juice People, advises sufferers
should drink the juice every morning throughout the hayfever season,
which runs from late March to September, and reach for another
throughout the day if they need it.
‘The juice works as a fabulous alternative to conventional Hayfever remedies,' she told MailOnline.
'The
ingredients have natural anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory
properties that help to supress and relieve the symptoms of hay fever as
well as aiding your body in the fight against the pollen.
‘The
pineapple, apple and lemon produce a serious kick of vitamin C a
powerful antioxidant that you should be taking more of throughout the
summer if you suffer from hayfever.
The concoction, which includes pineapple, lemon,
apple and ginger, is full of vitamin C 'to enhance its pollen-leveling
effects and minimise the immune system's response,' the firm says.

‘The
nutrients in the juice work to enhance the anti-histamine and
anti-inflammatory effects making it the perfect daily remedy to your
fight against hayfever.
‘Ideally
the juice should be consumed every morning throughout hay fever season
and a few weeks in advance if possible, then supplemented in the day if
symptoms are particularly bad.
‘As an all-natural remedy this fights with your body rather than against it and also helps to boost energy and aid nutrition.’
HOW TO MAKE YOUR VERY OWN HAYFEVER AID JUICE
Blend…
- 1 thumb size piece of ginger
- 1/2 an unwaxed lemon, including its zest and skin
- A 4cm wedge of pineapple
- 1 apple
The
juice shops, which create different blends of healthy juices, such as
the Green Super Power, use industrial centrifugal juicers and blenders
to slowly extract the juice from fruit, while retaining its nutrients,
but the recipe can be easily made at home.
Traditionally people have turned to various different natural remedies to ease their hayfever symptoms.
They include a spoonful of honey in the morning, thought to desensitise sufferers to pollen.
The theory goes that because the pollen bees collect is the heavy-grained variety, it doesn't cause problems.
Other
natural remedies include chamomile tea with lemon oil and a concoction
of boiled grapefruit and lemon juice, while others drink peppermint tea
to relieve sinus and nasal congestion.
For
those more in favour of a traditional remedy, Boots UK Pharmacist
Angela Chalmers said experts are always on hand to offer advise.
She
told MailOnline: 'With a range of options available to help you stay in
control of your hayfever you do not have to let a tingly nose or watery
eyes keep you fron making the most of the outdoors.
'You can get great tips and guidance from your local pharmacist.'
