Lets face it, those that have allergies dread this time of year; the constant runny nose and eyes, scratchy throat, and cold like symptoms can be quite severe for some.
Natural ways of dealing with allergies are available if you are not wanting to take medications to deal with your signs and symptoms. So here are a few tips that might make allergy season a little more tolerable.
- Try to avoid being outside for long periods of time especially between the hours of 5am and 10am, as well as in the early afternoon and evening. This is when the pollen count is at its highest.
- Shower after you are outside to wash off anything that has stuck to you or your clothing that may cause a reaction
- Get a good quality air purifier
- Cut back on foods that can increase inflammation within the body (dairy products and refined sugar) also drink lots of water to assist in decreasing this inflammation.
- Try a cold compress to help decrease the swelling and irritation to puffy eyes.
- Use local raw honey because it is made from the local flowers you may be reacting to. It will help to boost the immune system and potentially reduce your reaction.
