Many allergy sufferers are currently suffering because grasses distribute their pollen in all winds.
A miracle cure should help - it is available in every drugstore for little money.
It starts in spring and in July it celebrates the high season: the pollen count.
And much to the chagrin of many pollen allergy sufferers.
Puffy eyes, a puffy face and sneezing attacks not only spoil the mood, but also spoil the wonderful summer weather.
But is that not why you should go outside and look after the house?
Allergy sufferers do not want to come to terms with this and are always looking for new ways to alleviate their symptoms without medication.
A very banal home remedy is considered a silver bullet.

For little money: home remedies for hay fever relieve symptoms
Hay fever sufferers have often tried all the preparations from the pharmacy - and left a lot of money behind.
A tip is circulating on the Internet that is not only intended to slow down pollen allergy symptoms, but also to please the wallet: Vaseline
!
A layer of the ointment-like mixture of solid and liquid hydrocarbons from petroleum should simply be applied to the inside of the nostrils, as the British news portal Mirror reported -
so that the pollen does not even reach the mucous membrane
and cause an immune reaction there
.
A Twitter user is enthusiastic and writes: "It really works!"
and that the vaseline should be applied to the nostrils more often during the day:
Mel, Vaseline!
Light coating around the inside of your nostrils, traps the pollen before it gets into your system. Definitely first thing in the morning and keep re-applying as the day goes on.
It really works.

Controversial Vaseline: These alternatives contain herbal ingredients
Many also swear by the nourishing
effect of Vaseline
in the following areas
:
as lip care
as cold protection for the face in winter
as skin protection for buttocks and legs when cycling
as paw care for dogs, etc.
But petroleum jelly is also controversial because it is obtained from the residues of crude oil distillation and consists largely of crude or mineral oils, so-called paraffins - which dry out the skin and attack its protective function, as reported by the Utopia portal, which deals with topics around Sustainability is concerned.
Vaseline can also contain so-called MOAH or MOSH compounds, which are suspected of being carcinogenic
.
If you want to avert this danger, you can use petroleum jelly alternatives based on herbal ingredients.
There are paraffin-free petroleum jelly without petroleum components, organic milking fat with organic beeswax or creams based on beeswax
, which people allergic to pollen can also use in the fight against grass pollen.
