Chamomile tea
Herbal teas can bring many health benefits to your daily cuppa, such as cleansing the body of any harsh toxins, boosting the immune system and energy levels. However, did you know that some teas can help with those pesky hay fever symptoms too? Chamomile tea, praised for its’s mighty role as a powerful antioxidant and antihistamine, also contains flavonoids and acts effectively as an anti-inflammatory agent. Its potent, anti-allergenic effects help to inhibit the release of histamine from mast cells (a chemical that causes the typical symptoms associated with hay fever) so the higher amount of chamomile extract used, the stronger the anti-effects! Pukka’s chamomile tea can also be used as an eye compress to benefit swollen, red eyes by its superb cooling effects.
