The LI-11 pressure point or “QuiChi” has been traditionally used in Chinese acupressure in the treatment of allergies. It is located on the elbow, and the new hay-band has been developed primarily for the relief of hay-fever but is thought to also help other airborne allergies such as dust mites and animal dander.
What is hay-band and does it really work?
I suffer on a regular bases with hay fever, dust, animal, and other allergies and keep them in check with my diet and supplement routine, however I still find that in the worse months I need to take anti-histamine tablets at worst would be every day for seven days.
So… over the next month I’ll be testing the hay band.
I purchased mine from www.hay-band.co.uk for £11.50
Thanks to George who says if you goto www.qu-chi.com and type in green at the checkout you can get one for just £8!
Date: 25th June 2009 – Update on my experience
Well I have to admit that this really does work for me. I was skeptical but every morning recently I’ve been waking up full of sneezes and itchy throat/eyes etc. which lasts until I put on my hay band.
It’s not the most comfortable thing to wear which is why I tend to take it off over night and towards the end of the day when my allergies don’t seem do bad.
I still think that diet makes the most difference, after all we are what we eat, but I can’t knock the hay-band and I think it’s good value for money and has saved my health bank as I don’t need to take anti-histamines now.
