Tips for Dealing with Seasonal Allergies
If
you're one of the 35 million-plus people in the U.S. who suffer
from seasonal allergies, your nose - and eyes, lungs and sinuses!
- are probably telling you that we are now entering the height
of the spring allergy season.
Experts predict this allergy season will pack a punch due
to last winter's heavy rains and higher-than-normal temperatures,
which ushered in higher-than-normal amounts of airborne pollen
and mold spores.
Here are five tips to deal with this over-the-top allergy
season:
- Watch
the pollen count, and act accordingly. If the pollen count
is high, you shouldn't spend too much time outdoors. That
may mean trading in your evening walk around the neighborhood
for half an hour on the treadmill, but your lungs and
sinuses will probably thank you for it.
- Get
cleaning! If you suffer from any type of allergy, it's
important to wash all bedding at least once a week - and
in the mean time, try not to bring pollen into the bedroom
with you. Washing your hair before bed will get rid of
the excess pollen that gathers there throughout the day.
- Give
the dog a bath. Many allergy experts suspect that people
who think they are allergic to their cats and dogs, in
addition to airborne pollens, are probably just allergic
to the pollen in their pets' fur. Give Fido (or Fifi)
a bath and see if it improves your allergy symptoms.
- Get
a good night's rest. Allergy symptoms often affect your
quality of sleep, and exhaustion can exacerbate allergy
symptoms, creating a vicious cycle. If you have trouble
falling asleep or staying asleep, consider trying VÄXA
Nite-Rest, a safe and effective
homeopathic medicinal specifically formulated to help
you get a good night's sleep without feeling groggy the
next day.
- Consider
natural allergy treatments - and leave the side effects
behind. If you want to feel better without feeling the
drowsiness or jitters associated with over-the-counter
allergy medications, VÄXA Aller-Sine
may be the right allergy treatment for you. Aller-Sine
is a homeopathic medicinal that safely gets to the root
cause of allergic reactions.
