To naturally treat allergies, consider incorporating remedies like saline nasal rinses, quercetin-rich foods, probiotics, and certain herbs and foods. However, experts agree that the best solution is to lessen your exposure to allergens. Here’s how:
• Stay indoors on high-pollen days: Avoid outdoor activities during peak pollen counts, especially on dry, windy days.
• Clean your home regularly: Dust, vacuum, and wash bedding frequently to minimize dust mite and pet dander exposure.
• Use air filters: Install a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter to remove airborne allergens.
• Close windows: Keep windows closed during high pollen periods.
• Shower and change clothes: Rinse off pollen and allergens after spending time outdoors – especially before going to bed.
• Avoid allergens: Identify and avoid specific allergens, such as certain foods, pet dander, or mold.
• Drink plenty of water, as dehydration can worsen allergy symptoms.
• Use Steam Inhalation, research shows that steam can help clear nasal passages and relieve congestion. You can add essential oils like eucalyptus or peppermint for added benefits.
