An allergic reaction is an overreaction of the body’s immune system to an otherwise harmless substance. The substance triggering the reaction is called an ‘allergen’. This can be anything from pollen and dust, to foods or even latex.
In autumn and winter we spend more time indoors with doors and windows shut. This means increased contact with dust and pet allergens.
The body reacts to too many allergens by producing excess histamines, which are part of an overreaction of the immune system. Indoor allergy symptoms caused by dust or pets can be very similar to the more well-known hay fever symptoms.
HayMax organic drug-free allergen barrier balms are proven to trap dust and pet allergens before they enter the body (as well as over one third of pollen) [1]. Reducing the amount getting in is an effective way of dealing with symptoms – less allergen, less reaction, and for some none at all.
HayMax is a multi-award-winning, drug-free, non-drowsy, 100% natural allergen barrier balm. HayMax is applied to the rim of the nostrils and to the bones of the eyes (eye sockets) to trap dust and pet allergens (and pollen) before they enter the body. It is suitable for the whole family, including children and pregnant and breastfeeding women.
HayMax is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. In 2005, HayMax was ahead of its time, a natural prevention for hay fever and indoor allergies, such as dust and pet allergies. This is different from most other airborne allergy treatments and remedies, and seeks to stop allergens getting into the body before they can cause a reaction, rather than attempting to treat the symptoms or the effects of the allergen once they occur.
HayMax is made from a blend of beeswax and seed oils, to which essential oils or aloe vera leaf juice extracts are added to create three additional varieties of the original version, HayMax Pure, for added choice and to suit your personal preference. You can choose from five varieties of HayMax allergen barrier balm: Pure, Aloe Vera, Lavender, Frankincense and Kids. Each variety works in exactly the same way, by restricting the amount of dust, pet allergens and pollen that get into the body.
HayMax was organic from the start. “The best chef will always ensure that the ingredients are the best quality they can find,” says creator and MD of HayMax, Max Wiseberg. “If the ingredients are substandard the final outcome won’t be as good. We believe it’s just the same with an allergy product.” HayMax is certified organic by the Soil Association, the UK’s largest organic certification body.
And it has always been made from vegetarian ingredients and never tested on animals. It is licensed to carry the Vegetarian Society Approved vegetarian trademark.
Unscented varieties of HayMax have attained The Allergy Friendly Product Award from leading national patient charity Allergy UK, awarded to products that are potentially of benefit to people affected by allergy, asthma, or sensitivity and are unlikely to cause a reaction.
Angela Davies comments, “Fantastic product. I don’t suffer with hay fever but my nose runs nearly all the time all year round. It is bad with cleaning products, dust, pet hair, cold weather, hot food just about anything really, sometimes I would just tilt my head forward & it would drip out with no warning. I have tried loads of nose sprays & antihistamine tablets but nothing works. I tried HayMax & within the first day or 2 my nose has hardly run. I cannot thank you enough for this truly great product it is a life saver & so nice not to be wiping my nose all the time. I have recommended this product to friends & family. It’s also great it is a pure product with no side effects. Thanks again.”
