Itchy eyes? Runny nose? Sneezing? Oh no! It's hayfever time again!!

Fear not, Palmers will help you survive the season.

Hayfever us an allergy to pollen, which can be identified by when your hayfever occurs.

Tree pollen occurs during late March to mid-May. Grass pollen is mid-May to July and W**d pollen, end of June to September.

Although it is very difficult to avoid exposure to pollen, there are a number of measures you can take that will help you to minimise exposure & ease the severity of your symptoms.

• Keep windows closed when at home & overnight. Most pollen is released in the early morning & falls to ground level in the evenings when the air cools.

• When outdoors, wear wrap-around sunglasses to keep the pollen out of your eyes. For any outdoor tasks, such as gardening, hayfever sufferers should wear a mask.

• Some people find smearing your nostrils with vaseline to capture pollen helps.

• Avoid drying clothes outside when pollen counts are high. If you do, shake items before bringing them inside.

• Keep car windows closed when driving and fit a pollen filter to reduce the impact of pollen spores. Ensure your air conditioning is set to circulate the air inside.

• When indoors, vacuum & clean surfaces with a damp cloth. The British Allergy Foundation have a list of approved anti-allergen vacuums on their website.

• Avoid bringing fresh flowers indoors.

• Don't allow smoking in the house as this will irritate the lining of your nose, eyes, throat & airways, making your hayfever symptoms worse.

• After being outside, shower & wash your hair to remove pollen.

• Grooming & washing pets more frequently at this time of year, to remove trapped pollen from their costs, can be helpful too. Pollen levels tend to be higher on warm, dry days.

• The met office offers a useful 5 day pollen forecast so you can prepare for high pollen days.

If you suffer from hayfever & need help to control your symptoms, there are various treatments including antohistanine tablets, nasal sprays and eye drops. Visit us today to find the right treatment for you.

, or , may sound scary, but it's very common & easily treated. If you do get BV, remember you're not alone. BV is the most common cause of va**nal infections in women of childbearing age.

Your va**na is normally acidic which helps prevent bad bacteria from growing & maintains the level of good bacteria. If the pH balance becomes less acidic however, this can affect the health of your va**na.

Different factors can affect the pH balance of your va**na, including getting your period, taking antibiotics, over-washing, using an IUD, & semen if you have s*x without a condom.

The main symptoms of BV include:

• an unpleasant odour
• watery/greyish discharge
• worsening of the above after s*x or during your period

Many women mistake BV for thrush but they are two different infections; BV is bacterial & thrush is fungal. This is important as the treatment is different for each. If you are unsure which you have, there is a test kit which will tell you in 10 seconds if you have BV.

If you are suffering from BV for the first time or if you are pregnant, make an appointment to see your doctor.

Once diagnosed you can use a 7 day course of an internal gel which helps to regulate the pH of the va**na.

If you get recurring bouts of BV, a va**nal probiotic may also be useful to think about.

For more information and treatments for BV, get in touch today!

is important for keeping our ears clean and healthy, however, sometimes problems can arise when the ear produces too much wax.

So what is ear wax?

Ear wax is produced naturally by tiny glands in the ear canal, and normally forms a thin film as part of the ear’s natural cleaning system. Ear wax is important for keeping our ears healthy and clean, protecting against infection.

What are the symptoms?

Build up or hardening of ear wax can make our ears feel blocked and uncomfortable. It can sometimes cause difficulty in hearing. In severe cases, the ear canal can become painful, with temporary hearing loss, dizziness and loss of balance as a result. When this occurs, the ear may need syringing by a medical professional.

Who suffers?

Anyone can suffer from problematic ear wax, but it’s more common among people aged 40+. The good news is that it’s usually simple and painless to treat, and is certainly nothing to worry about.

Things to avoid

When ears feel waxy or blocked, there is a temptation to reach for cotton buds but this should be resisted; they will only make the condition worse by impacting and pushing the wax further in. Using cotton buds may also cause serious damage to the ear. Instead clean the outside of your ear with a damp cloth.If you choose to use cotton buds, don’t insert them into the ear canal. Use an earwax softener to soften earwax for easier removal.

Today we are talking Magnesium!

is a mineral vital for the proper functioning of your body.

Magnesium serves many functions in the human body & is important for:

• protein synthesis
• healthy bone formation
• regulating blood pressure
• maintaining heart health
• energy production
• nerve function
• blood sugar control
• electrical conduction in the heart

Your body can’t make it, so you need to obtain it from your diet.

To get enough of this essential nutrient, it’s recommended that men & women get 400–420 mg and 320–360 mg per day, respectively, depending on age.

You can achieve this by eating magnesium-rich foods, such as nuts, leafy greens, legumes & seeds, or by taking supplements.

Magnesium supplements may improve a number of health markers, such as blood pressure & blood sugar control. It may also reduce your risk of health conditions such as heart disease, migraine, & depression

Though magnesium supplements are generally considered safe, you should check with your healthcare provider before taking them — especially if you have a medical condition.

The mineral supplement may be unsafe for people who take certain diuretics, heart medications, or antibiotics.

To see if a magnesium supplement will be suitable for you, come in and visit us today!
