Usually, when we get to late July, most hay-fever sufferers are getting some relief from their troubles.  Not everyone of course, but those Spring and early-Summer pollens seem to have lost their strength sparing many their snuffly sneezing noses, thick heads and itchy eyes.

Just last week though we’ve seen a raft of people with late hay-fever symptoms, much continuous sneezing, heavy heads and extreme tiredness and lethargy.  Check out the homeopathic match for these and you’ll see Gelsemium (Yellow Jasmine) comes about as close as possible.  In most cases it has brought relief if repeated often.

Gelsemium is most often considered to treat fluey and fever problems, but it is a big hay-fever remedy, often overlooked.   Watery discharges and doesn’t wish to be spoken to.  Eyelids heavy, blurred vision, serous inflammation and over-whelming tiredness.  Constant sneezing, with fullness at the root of the nose with watery excoriating discharge.  Acute coryza and a sensation hot water flowing from the nostrils.  Face – hot heavy and flushed.
