Hay fever & allergies
About Hay Fever and Allergies
An estimated 12 million people in the UK—roughly one in five—are affected by allergies, with hay fever being among the most common.
Also known as allergic rhinitis, hay fever can cause significant discomfort, with symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, itchy eyes, and sinus pressure.
Allergic reactions occur when the immune system overreacts to a normally harmless substance, known as an allergen. The most common airborne allergens include pollen, dust, mould spores, pet fur, and fibres, but allergies can also be triggered by foods, insect stings, or certain medications. Over time, repeated exposure to allergens can worsen symptoms and, in some cases, contribute to the development of other conditions, such as asthma or sinus infections.

How often should you come
For long-term relief from allergies or hay fever, a course of 15–20 sessions is generally recommended, depending on age and the severity of symptoms.
Sessions are most effective when scheduled 2–3 times per week. For individuals with more persistent or irreversible conditions, additional sessions may be needed to maintain benefits.
Most patients notice significant improvement after completing a full course, with airways becoming clearer and symptoms significantly reduced. Treatment effectiveness is estimated at 75–98%. To sustain results, many clients return for 1–2 full courses per year, with occasional “top-up” sessions as needed—particularly when symptoms flare up or at the onset of a cold.
