Help with hay fever: Scutellaria baicalensis

Hypnosis, bloodletting and even – believe it or not – cocaine tablets were said to help relieve the itching, watery eyes, runny nose and sneezing caused by, yes: hay fever. As early as the 19th century, many people were troubled by pollen in the air and were therefore eagerly searching for remedies – remedies that we now regard as rather strange.

Fortunately, we now have simple, natural remedies that can alleviate these symptoms. Scutellariae baicalensis, also known as baical skullcap, for example. Scutellariae is a Chinese herb that has been used for centuries to treat hay fever. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce the symptoms of hay fever. It contains antioxidants that help combat free radicals. These free radicals trigger an inflammatory response in the nasal mucosa.

When combined with vitamin C and zinc, Scutellariae is even more effective. Vitamin C helps to strengthen the immune system, whilst zinc helps to reduce the inflammation and swelling associated with hay fever. Together, these two substances help to tackle the severity and frequency of hay fever symptoms. A great combination that we can supply in capsule form.
