1. Take precautions with zinc
2. Cold-free vacation
How about a holiday in the mountains? Above 2,000 meters, the air is free of the classic allergy pollen!
Alternatively, a trip to the North Sea or the Baltic Sea is also worthwhile. The pollen concentration is also significantly lower in coastal areas, especially when the wind blows from the sea.

3. Get rid of pollen
Before going to bed, you should get rid of the pollen of the day as much as possible so that you can sleep peacefully at night. This includes an evening shower including washing your hair (this is where the pollen tends to settle). But you can do even more: A nasal douche thoroughly removes pollen from your mucous membranes. Rinse with a physiological solution (dissolve 0.9 grams of table salt in 100 milliliters of boiled water).
4. Desensitize naturally through diet
Honey not only has a positive effect on the skin, but also on our immune system. The pollen it contains works in a similar way to the principle of natural desensitization . When they are eaten, they get into our body, which gets used to the pollen over time. The result: the immune system reacts less strongly to the pollen count at some point. In order to see results, however, you must consume the honey regularly throughout the year.
5. The right fruit
We love juicy, fresh fruit, especially on warm days. But beware: Anyone who is allergic to birch or alder should stay away from nuts, cherries, apples, peaches and kiwis. Cross-allergic editorials can arise here. Better: oranges and melons! They taste really good on hot summer days anyway.
6. Avoid stress
Not only holistically hazardous to health, but also allergenic: stress! Especially in times of hay fever, make sure you look for a balance to the strenuous everyday life and take enough breaks to relax. A half-hour walk can already reduce the release of stress hormones.
