Spring brings many upsides – longer days, warmer weather, sunlight, budding flowers and more outdoor fun. However, if you are a seasonal allergy sufferer, this season can also cause discomfort in the form of sneezing, itchy nose, congestion, coughing. In Spring, the main allergens are pollen from trees and grass. Mold can cause allergy symptoms any time of the year.
The good news: you can take steps to reduce your symptoms and get back to enjoying Spring!
- Avoid coming in contact with outside allergens
- Keep windows and doors closed at night or when pollen count is high
- Avoid outside activities early in morning
- Wear protective clothes for lawn maintenance and gardening
- After being outside, wash your hair and/or clothes to remove pollen
- Add indoor air filtration with HEPA filters
- Be Preventative! Take daily vitamin D and C to boost your immune system (available in office)
- Natural D-Hist supplements can be used preventatively or for symptom relief (available in office)
- Acupuncture is an excellent treatment option to help boost your immune system and provide symptom relief
