Troubles With Allergies
It seems to be that time of year when the air really dries out, so if you are like me, you tend to get stuffy. Here are some things that seem to help me. First of all, I have a great humidifier. It’s large enough to be used for the entire house. If you use a humidifier, be sure to change the filter on a regular basis. One filter usually lasts me through the winter. Next, make sure to get rid of any pet dander or dust that get caught in heat vents. Regular vacuuming the heat vents and air ducts on a regular basis. Finally, I use a saline solution of sea salt and distilled water to flush my sinuses of any allergens that may have collected in there throughout the day.
Once the flu season hits any everyone seems to be fighting a cold, I’ll start using more rosemary and eucalyptus infused sinus packs. There is something very soothing about a warm pack placed directly on the forehead.
