Spring allergies

With spring allergies on in full swing now, many of us turn to allergy meds or shots to reduce our symptoms but what if there was another way?

If you are already taking your Vitamin C, then the other option is to introduce a neti pot. You can buy a neti pot at your local Walmart for around $5. It is fairly simple to use, just add lukewarm water, salt, and drain each nostril. I know, sounds gross but it is super effective and you’ll be able to see results from this fairly quickly. I do this twice a day when I have allergies along with taking my Vitamin C and definitely feel better.

However, if this natural option doesn’t work for you, do ask your pharmacist about alternatives like Flonase and Claritin as they may help you. Finally, a good tip that I find works is wearing sunglasses while outside as less chances of irritants entering my eyes and causing redness. I wish I could wear a face mask while out and about like you see people doing at the airport but I don’t want to stand out unnecessarily especially if other alternatives exist.

Allergy sufferers do Google natural options and ask your doctor which treatment method might be best for you!
