Probiotic Yoghurts ‘May Help’ Hay Fever
Is yogurt the secret to easing hay fever? Probiotics can ‘relieve sneezing and itchy eyes’,” the Daily Mail reports. New research found initial, but not definitive, evidence that probiotics may offer some relief from this common allergic condition for some people.
Hay fever affects around one in five people, causing frequent sneezing, a runny nose and itchy eyes. It happens when an allergic irritant sets off an immune response in the mucosa of the nasal passages, causing an allergic reaction. Most often, people are sensitive to seasonal allergens such as pollen, hence the name hay fever. However, some people can get symptoms all year round (this is known as allergic rhinitis).
There has been a lot of interest in whether probiotics – ”healthy” bacteria that live in the gut – can relieve symptoms.
