Natural Remedy for Hay Fever: A Traditional Persian Medicine Guide to Hay Fever Relief

It crept up on me.

A few sneezes at first, then full-on congestion, foggy head, watery eyes—and that weird feeling behind the nose like I was about to come down with something, but never actually did.

I used to be someone who didn’t even think about hay fever. I’d see other people suffer and thank my lucky stars, or more to the point, it can’t be that bad surely…. But this year? I’m deep in it.

And I’m not alone. My mum’s been walking around clutching tissues. Friends are moaning about itchy throats and sleep disruption. The pollen forecast seems to be having its moment, and we’re all just trying to breathe.

The link between hay fever and seasonal imbalance

Hay fever isn’t just an inconvenience. It affects your sleep, energy, mood, and productivity. It shows up in your skin and digestion.

And if you’re like me—someone who turns to Traditional Persian Medicine for answers—hay fever isn’t just a seasonal curse. It’s a sign. A signal that your inner balance is off, especially in relation to the qualities of spring.

Traditional Persian Medicine doesn’t treat hay fever like a random allergy. It asks:

  • What’s your temperament?
  • What qualities are dominant in this season?
  • What systems in your body are trying to compensate?

If you’ve been asking, “How do I stop hay fever naturally?”—this is for you.

My temperament is Choleric—hot and dry—which means spring’s rising heat and pollen can easily overwhelm my system. If you also feel irritable, get frequent headaches, or tend to overheat, you might be Choleric too. But everyone’s different.

Want to find out your own temperament? You can take a simple test and explore what it means for your health and skincare here.

I’ll walk you through the Traditional Persian Medicine view of hay fever, including how to calm symptoms using diet, routine, and targeted support like Damnoosh™ Immunity Tea.

How to Live in Sync With the Season

Spring is the season of awakening. But if your system is holding onto winter residue—congestion, low-grade inflammation, cold foods—spring can hit you hard. This is where Traditional Persian Medicine shines. It’s about aligning yourself with nature, not overpowering it.

The Six Persian Lifestyle Principles remind us to:

  • Respect the rhythms of day and night
  • Keep our bowels and digestion regular
  • Eat for our temperament
  • Stay mentally and emotionally balanced
  • Move our bodies moderately
  • Prioritise the quality of air we breathe

Many hay fever triggers can be traced back to these principles being out of sync.

Have you been sleeping late?
Eating heavier meals at night?
Skipping walks or movement in favour of screen time?

Sometimes, relief starts with resetting the basics.

How Emotions Can Trigger Hay Fever Symptoms

Something I rarely see talked about is the emotional and mental toll of hay fever. Traditional Persian Medicine recognises that unresolved anger (a heat-inducing emotion) or sadness (linked to cold and constriction) can affect the balance of your humours too.

You might notice that your symptoms flare up when you’re feeling emotionally overwhelmed or mentally scattered. I definitely do.

Try:

  • Journaling before bed
  • Reducing multitasking
  • Drinking rose tea for emotional calm
  • Spending time with your feet in cool soil or sand

These practices are more than wellness fluff—they address qualities within you that Traditional Persian Medicine sees as vital to regulating immunity.

Why Damnoosh™ Immunity Tea Is the Herbal Tea That Works for Hay Fever Relief

You already know I love Damnoosh™ Immunity Tea, but let me explain why I reach for this blend specifically.

  • Sumac berry is cooling, drying, and antimicrobial. It helps counteract the heat and moisture of spring and supports the liver.
  • Echinacea root stimulates immune activity, especially the first line of defence against allergens.
  • Rose petals ease inflammation in the sinuses and calm both mind and digestion.

It’s formulated based on Traditional Persian Medicine principles of organ support and temperament correction. You can drink it daily for prevention or during flare-ups for relief.

Sometimes I double brew it if my nose is acting up. And yes, I’ve even used the cooled tea as a compress over my eyes on really puffy days.

You can also support your body’s detox pathways with Sefidab® Body Detox Skin Peel to gently clear external congestion.

Healthline confirms that inflammation and histamine overproduction can be eased with certain herbs—especially those that support liver function.

Final Thoughts

What I’ve Learned from My Own Hay Fever Journey

I never thought hay fever would be part of my life. But it’s taught me to be more in tune with the seasons, my own body, and the importance of prevention.

I still have a pack of Benolyn in my bag—but it’s not my first line of defence anymore.

Traditional Persian Medicine has given me the tools to step into each season with curiosity, not dread.

What about you? What’s worked for your hay fever symptoms—and what have you noticed about your body in spring?

Let’s keep learning together.
