Help for Hay Fever in Geelong

What is Hay Fever?

Hay Fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is an allergic disorder due to an exaggerated immune response to pollen and other such substances in the air. Hay Fever is considered to be hereditary in nature. People with eczema or asthma are more prone to developing Hay Fever.
Hay Fever symptoms include violent sneezing, itching and painful nose and throat, coughing, watery and itchy eyes, ear pressure and fatigue.

What Causes Hay Fever?

When one inhales dust, pollen or other such particles, the immune system treats them as dangerous foreign substances, causing the body to release histamine and leukotrienes, which inflame parts of the nasal passage, eyelids and can trigger sneezing.
All these symptoms are meant to protect one’s body by either trapping or expelling the allergen. At times, the closure of nasal passages may block sinus drainage openings, causing sinusitis.

How may Bowen Therapy help people with Hay Fever?

Bowen clients may report substantially reduced hay fever symptoms after Bowen Therapy sessions, and in some severe cases, Bowen may have helped to make life a lot more comfortable, especially for those whom have had limited relief from medications. Some researchers have found that the nervous system may play a significant role in hay fever sufferers. This may help explain how the Bowen Technique, which works with the fascia and nerves of the body, may have helped improve hay fever symptoms in these people.
