Sex could be ‘the cure for hayfever’ according to scientists
If you want to stop sneezing in spring, you need to spend some more time between the sheets.
A team of scientists from Iran reckon that upping your sex life will help fight the symptomps of hayfever. They say that sex constricts blood flow in the nose and eyes which, in turn, unblocks stuffy noses and stops eyes from running.
Not only that, but it’s more fun and cheaper too.
‘It can be done from time to time to alleviate the congestion and the patient can adjust the number of intercourses depending on the severity of the symptoms,’ said Sina Zarrintan, one of the neurologists behind the research.
Naturally, there are some drawbacks.
Mohammed Amin Abolghassemi Fakhree, also from Tabriz University, said: ‘There are some limitations in using ejaculation as a treatment of nasal congestion, such as not being applicable out of home and not having any sex partner.’
