Hay Fever


As a longtime hay fever sufferer myself, I searched for ways to manage my own symptoms. Over the years, I've discovered natural techniques that have provided significant relief to both me and my patients.

I now teach these techniques to patients in a series of two classes.

Below is a natural technique you can try immediately; my patients have found this exercise to be very effective.


Dr. Chan's Hay Fever "Stair" Exercise
This exercise is good for clearing congestion (a major symptom of hay fever). It has been very well received by my clients, especially because it produces the immediate benefits of Sudafed or Actifed without the actual drug.

Find an available flight of stairs, and just start climbing the stairs while holding your breath. Usually the nose clears with one flight. Otherwise, keep going up and down until the nose clears.

Exercising while holding the breath produces multiple benefits, even though most people can hold their breath no more than one minute. My experience is that only 10 percent of patients need more than one flight to clear the nose. Decongestion usually lasts a few hours. Another set of this stair-climbing exercise can prolong the benefits.
