Answer:

Hayfever is a very general term. It usually refers to an allergy to pollen. Unfortunately there are literally millions of types of pollen in the world. Very difficult to pinpoint which ones you are sensitive to. Usually hayfever sufferers have difficulties at certain times of the year and need only be treated at those times. You can start with trying over the counter antihistamines like Claritin. If they are not effect, it is time to get to the doctor for something prescription strength. Good health.

any sort of pollen from flowers, trees, grass etc. This time of year it's mostly the tree pollen.

any kind of pollen causes hay fever.

it is kind of the pollen or some substance released from all kind of plants. even grass. I think it goes something like the substance enters your body easily through your nose, due to breathing. it inhabits our cells in that area or something like that and thus causing a reaction that in turn makes us react and suffer with symptoms like runny nose watering eyes and with it soreness in the area. I guess this the body's natural way to react to get get rid of what is I suppose a toxin to our bodies.

Try pranayam yoga (breathing exercises) to keep the whole airways in your body clean of toxins etc. it's supposed to work and it has other benefits as well and just doing the main ones with practice will take as little as 10-15mins a day.
