As spring has already come I have considered useful writing this article as a lot of us have to deal every day with seasonal allergies and could use some advice on how to keep them away.
Most of us have spring allergies due to pollen. As flowers, grasses and trees start blooming these sunny days, our allergies also start bothering us more and more. Itchy eyes, running nose, sneezing, and irritation of the skin are only a few of the symptoms we allergic people have to bare all spring long.
Other people have an outburst of their allergy due to the spring house cleaning process that makes them inhale dust, and all kind of house allergens.
Here are a few things we can do in order to keep allergies away from us:
1. Wash yourself before going to bed.
Try to take a shower every evening before going to sleep. Your hair should also be washed too as pollen can accumulate inside of it during the day. If you do not like to wash your hair daily then at least sleep with your hair done in a ponytail so that it does not reach your face over the night.
2. Wear a protection while cleaning the house.
Most of the house allergens are inhaled during the process of house cleaning. If you are allergic this does not mean you should not clean your home any more. Just wear a mask and gloves when dusting around the house. Also, try to vacuum your home twice a week, in order to keep dust away from you.
3. Remove allergens keepers from the house.
In case you did not know house allergens hide in carpets and rugs, long and heavy drapes, and any other objects or materials that might look like dust stockers. By removing those objects from your house you will be one step ahead seasonal allergies.
4. Use indoor air purifiers.
Special devices that will maintain the indoor air clean are most needed in your case. Change the filters from the air conditioning devices and try to open your windows as less as possible during these spring months.
5. Use allergy medicine.
If you know you have terrible crises of allergy during spring then it is best to go to the doctor and ask for some preventive treatment. Antihistamines are the most suitable drugs to help you overcome spring. Nasal steroid sprays are also helpful.
I hope these few tips will help you as at least in my case they have proven their efficiency and the quality of my life has definitely improved since adopting these easy methods in my daily habits.
Good luck and don’t let spring take away your smile!
