I have been sent the 5 different HayMax barrier balms to try. All are organic and very natural. HayMax Pure and HayMax Kids contain only 2 ingredients - Sunflower Oil and Beeswax - and are safe for people of all ages.
The other 3 varieties are lightly scented with Frankincense, Aloe Vera and Lavender. They are suitable for anyone other than small babies, including pregnant women and youngsters. All varieties are non-drowsy and drug-free.
The balm is rubbed around your nostrils and can also be used under your eyes, where it catches allergens before they enter your body. Particles from dust, animals and plants stick to the balm. You need to reapply regularly and after blowing your nose.
The packaging is great, minimal and recyclable. These tiny pots will fit into any bag or pocket and are pretty cute.
The balm isn't irritating or itchy and I was a bit concerned as to whether I'd look funny, but it's virtually invisible. Certainly a lot more subtle than vaseline or vapour rubs. I've used it quite a lot and no-one has noticed, so it works for me.
I'd judge that my nose is bothering me less, but I have mainly found my eyes are a lot less runny, although I've only used the balm around my nostrils. It's made a real difference in my opinion. I've struggled to read or watch TV later at night because of sore eyes and that's definitely improved.
I'm a big fan of natural when possible and HayMax fits the bill. At £6.99 each, or 3 for £13.98, HayMax represents an investment, but each tiny 5ml pot should help you for a whole hayfever season, so compared to the cost of cut price over the counter anti-histamines, it is very good value.
HayMax is available to buy from chemists and online from the HayMax website, where you can also find out more and take advantage of their 3 for 2 offer.

I'm definitely tagging my mum. She is unable to take antihistamine mess due to other mess she is on. This could be the answer to her eyes and congestion!

ReplyDeleteAllergies can be mild - severe - life threatening. So really I would prefer not to have any allergies. What I'd like to avoid doing is ironing, boring time consuming task. So I get clothes that need little to no ironing. I take washing from machine as soon as it is finished being washed, and hang clothes up in such a manner that avoids creasing, avoid creasing clothes when dried and put away.
ReplyDeleteDrug -Free Allergy Barrier sounds good to me. As medications / drugs can have side effects e.g. Cause drowsiness, etc.
