The symptoms of hay fever: How does a pollen allergy manifest itself?
When you start from Hayfever is affected, the Immunesystem hypersensitive to certain irritants that are not dangerous in themselves - in the case of a pollen allergy, these are pollen. The body classifies them as dangerous and fights them with antibodies, which in turn produce messenger substances against the "intruders".
When the allergen comes into contact again, the messenger substances then release further chemical substances that cause inflammatory processes in the body - this reaction manifests itself in a variety of symptoms typical of hay fever.
- red, watery or even itchy eyes up to persistent conjunctivitis
- stuffy or runny nose
- increased sneezing up to sneezing attacks
- swollen mucous membranes of the nose and/or mouth
- Skin reaction (rash)
- Neck scratching
- Cough, which may even develop into allergic asthma
- Headache & Migraine
- Sleep disorders
- reduced efficiency
Immune system out of control: This is how an allergy to pollen develops
Pollen allergy is an allergy of the immediate type (type I), in which IgE antibodies (class E) are involved. On contact with the allergens, certain messenger substances - histamines and mediators - are released, which cause the organism's defense reactions, some of which are severe. As a rule, only a few allergens are sufficient to trigger an allergic reaction in allergy sufferers.
Normally, pollen does not pose a threat to the human body. However, in the case of hay fever, the immune system overreacts - it perceives pollen as a threat and releases antibodies to fight it. In hay fever sufferers, the immune system produces specific antibodies called IgE antibodies, which bind to mast cells in the body after being released.
Upon renewed contact with allergens - in the case of hay fever, pollen - these mast cells are then activated by IgE antibody binding. Among other things, the mast cells release histamine - a messenger substance that causes the typical hay fever symptoms - for example itching, watery eyes, a runny or stuffy nose.
What are the causes of hay fever?
Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is caused by an allergic reaction to certain substances in the air.
It occurs because the body's immune system reacts to an allergenic substance that it considers a threat. The organism then releases, among other things, the messenger substance histamine, which is responsible for the symptoms of hay fever.
The main triggers of hay fever are pollen (for example from trees, shrubs, grasses or flowers). Contact with mold spores, animal hair, dust mites or fine dirt particles in the air can aggravate the symptoms of a pollen allergy.
Hay fever occurs most frequently in spring and summer. However, many sufferers have to struggle with symptoms as early as February and into the fall.
... It is not yet clearly understood why some people are allergic to pollen and others are not. However, certain risk factors can favor the development of a pollen allergy.
These include, for example, a genetic predisposition, environmental factors such as air pollution, and individual lifestyle (smoking, an unhealthy diet, or stress).
Almost 15% of Germans are affected by hay fever. In most cases, an allergy to pollen develops in childhood and adolescence, but can also occur for the first time at a more advanced age.
What are the treatment options for pollen allergy?
Anyone suffering from hay fever can resort to a number of different treatment options, depending on the type and severity of the symptoms:
- So-called antihistamines are usually used to treat hay fever with medication. They block the effect of the symptom-triggering messenger substance histamine and thus reduce symptoms such as sneezing or itching, reddening of the eyes or running of the nose. Even though hay fever preparations have recently become significantly more tolerable, taking them can be accompanied by fatigue and other side effects.
- Also preparations containing cortisone can alleviate hay fever symptoms and provide relief from discomfort. Before taking them, you should always seek medical advice, as these medications can sometimes have strong side effects or interactions.
- Nasal sprays containing active ingredients can help reduce swelling and inflammation in the nose.
- Eye drops, which contain antihistamines or steroids, relieve symptoms such as watery and itchy eyes.
- For the long-term treatment of a pollen allergy, a specific immunotherapy (SIT) be useful, in which the body is gradually accustomed to increasing doses of allergens, including pollen. In this way, the immune system should be desensitized and the allergic reaction of the organism reduced.

Which pollen allergy treatment is most suitable depends primarily on the type and severity of the symptoms in question.
Homeopathy for hay fever: Natural alternatives to conventional allergy treatment

Fortunately, there are herbal alternatives for allergy treatment that are very well tolerated compared to conventional preparations.

Home remedies for hay fever: these tips can relieve allergy symptoms
Improvement in hay fever can often be achieved by avoiding contact with allergy triggers and, for example, not spending excessive time or frequency outdoors during the peak pollen season. Wearing sunglasses can help reduce pollen contact with the eyes.
If possible, sports activities should not take place outdoors during the hay fever season, as the organism can react even more strongly to pollen due to the movement and the associated stimulation of the immune system and metabolism.
If you suffer from hay fever, you should also take care at home to keep pollen disposition as low as possible.
- If possible, do not take off your street clothes in the bedroom.
- Wash or brush your hair thoroughly in the evening. This way the pollen will not spread on your pillow during the night.
- Keep windows closed at night if possible.
- Change bed linen regularly.
- Dry your laundry indoors rather than outdoors.
- Vacuum floors, upholstered furniture and carpets thoroughly on a regular basis and wipe surfaces with a damp cloth.
- Set up an air filter to help remove fine particulate matter from the air.
... Depending on whether you live in the city or in the countryside, you should only ventilate at certain times during the pollen season!
- In the countryside, pollen levels are highest in the morning between 4 and 6 am. Windows should remain closed during this time. The best time to ventilate in rural areas is in the evening between 7 and midnight.
Â
In urban areas, the least pollen is present in the morning between 6 and 8 a.m., while the concentration is highest in the evening 6 and midnight. Therefore, it is better to air early in the morning and sleep with the window closed.
Nasal showers, steam baths or inhalations provide improved blood circulation and moistening of the mucous membranes. Allergens and other fine particles from the air that can promote irritation are gently flushed out - often resulting in significant symptom relief.
Cooling compresses, e.g. with an infusion of dried eyebright, can also help against watery, itchy eyes.
Homeopathic preparations that strengthen the immune system can also be useful. Medicinal plant extracts that have a natural decongestant or anti-inflammatory effect are also good for hay fever. For example, essential oils such as peppermint or eucalyptus help to clear a blocked nose - and you can breathe freely again.
By the way, the application of your headache spray is very simple: The spray is simply sprayed into the mouth according to the dosage instructions on the bottle. In order to achieve the best possible effect and to be able to optimally counteract the causes, we recommend using the spray over a longer period of at least six to eight weeks. As a kind of cure, you spray 3×3 sprays daily.
