Sneezing and rubbing my itching eyes on a hot and windy day, I asked an Indian doctor visiting Britain to name his favourite hay fever cure. His response surprised me. “Don’t worry about it, and, with luck, it may stop troubling you,” he said. I took his advice, focusing my mind on other matters, and it worked for me very quickly. No more tablets or soggy handkerchiefs for the past 15 years!
However, if this idea doesn’t work for you, some people recommend splashing your face and eyes with cold water at every opportunity. Also gargling and clearing your nostrils with cold water, placing your head under a cold water tap or shower, and drinking plenty of cold water to help discharge pollen from the body.
