Allergies! It’s the sneezing—ugh, excuse us, SEASON for sneezing, coughing, burning eyes, and irritation we’ve all come to loathe. Trust us when we say we understand your pain. You know what’s to blame for that? Pollen blowing through the air coming from trees, grass, and weeds! Once the pollen goes into the nose it can cause people to sneeze, cough, and, well, you know the rest.
This week we will focus on some brief reminders of ways to help relieve the effects of allergies. Do you remember the effects of aroma therapy? Pure mint is the end all be all for congestion. Using a neti pot or a bowl of hot, and we mean HOT, water pour a little mint extract or oil and inhale gently (keep your eyes closed). It can temporarily relieve the congestion. Ah, to breathe again.
It also wouldn’t hurt to soak in a little Calming Spa Seaweed (bath salts). It contains rosemary mint which may also help with decongestion while you detox everything else. Speaking of salt, salt can help temporally relieve soreness in the limbs and throat. Take warm water, not HOT, mix it with salt, and gargle with it—we wouldn’t recommend swallowing. Don’t use tap water, you want to make sure the water or steam produced by water is clean to avoid any other risks.
Staying hydrated is important in any season or time of the year. Not to mention, those of you who get special eye drops or nasal sprays, etc. stay on top of your stock and keep in touch with your doctor. As always do what is best for you. Check expiration dates, use clean hot/warm water, and try to stay relaxed! Stress won’t help make your allergy symptoms any better.
The EE 411: Don’t Forget your Tea when it Comes to Allergies
Folks tend to forget the natural benefits of tea! Well, don’t. Tea has a refreshing warmth that helps quell the congestion and please the pallet. It’s also that cool crispness needed to revitalize you on a sunny, hot day. Nevertheless, we realize tea is an acquired taste but if you haven’t had the pleasure, now’s as good of a time as any.
