Hay fever

Hay fever is an allergic reaction to pollen – with sneezing, itching, watering eyes and a running nose. It is well treatable. At the Kyborg Institute we additionally classify the theme on a soul-related level.

Factual: a pollen allergy

With hay fever, the immune system reacts excessively to flower pollen (see also allergies). Effective are the avoiding of triggers, medication and, if needed, a desensitisation; if shortness of breath is added, allergic asthma may lie behind it, which should be checked by a doctor anyway.

Some people experience allergies also as a “defensive stance” towards something that burdens them. No one is to blame for this or behaves wrongly.

What does that mean in practice?
