How to Prevent and Deal With Allergies



    Spring is here and so are the allergies.
    Try some preventative and natural remedies to prevent spring
    allergies this year.

  • Keep windows closed during spring allergy season to keep pollen and dust from blowing into your house. Change your sheets as often as possible.
  • Run your air conditioner and air filters to absorb the pollen and dust from the air in your home. Don't use window or attic fans, which can bring more pollen into the home.

  • Probiotics are good for helping the immune system break down the allergens.Probiotics are food and dietary supplements containing good bacteria found in our bodies. By restoring the balance of bacteria, many believe we can allow the immune system to fight back. Probiotics naturally occur in miso and other fermented foods, such as yogurts containing live, active cultures.
  • Take natural supplements to strengthen your immunity. Look for natural anti-allergy supplements which are a combination of herbs, enzymes, and nutrients which are designed to fight acute allergy attacks.
  • If you have red itchy eyes or red face maybe you should try acupressure. Each eyebrow can be massaged inside and outside, plus the point of your upper nose between your eyes. Hold your index fingers on the point between both eyes for 30 seconds at a time 3 times a day. The Eye Sinus Pac also provides soothing relief from siuns congestion, eye strain and headache pain.



  • Drink fluids during an attack. When you are having an allergy attack, while you wait for your allergy medicine to kick in, drink lots of fluids. You will lose a lot of fluids from a runny nose and watery eyes, so you will need to replenish the fluids in your body. In addition, drinking lots of water will help to flush the allergens from your body, and therefore provide sinus allergy relief.
  • If you want immediate allergy and sinus relief then expose yourself to steam. Fill up a pot of water, bring it to a boil, and turn the burner off. Stand with a towel over your head to block in the steam and breathe in as much steam as you can. This will loosen up your sinuses and make you feel much better.
