Although antihistamines and other medications are readily available for
allergy sufferers, it is still safer to resort to natural means when
trying to alleviate symptoms of allergy. Pills can have negative side
effects; and the results are always temporary too. With natural
remedies, on the other hand, the body is not constantly exposed to
harmful substances that can lead to complications and other illnesses.
Neti Pot and Saline Rinse Treatment
Neti Pot and Saline Rinse Treatment
You can use a neti pot filled with saline solution to relieve the
symptoms of allergy quickly. The process involves the use of a special
device (a neti pot) so that you can pour saline rinse into one of your
nostrils. As the solution is drained out from the other nostril, the
sinuses will be flushed out of allergens and dust that can trigger
allergy attacks. You can buy a ready mixture of saline rinse in
drugstores and improvise your own neti pot device too. You can also make
a homemade saline solution by mixing a teaspoon of sea salt or table
salt with a cup of warm water.
Showering and Bathing
Taking a hot shower or a hot bath can soothe one’s nasal passages and sinuses. The importance of taking showers and baths, however, is particularly stressed during springtime when pollens are dominating the environment. When coming in from any outdoor activity, it is advisable to remove one’s clothing at once since dirt, dust and pollens are surely attached to your clothes. And since allergens can also attach to the skin and hair, taking a quick shower or a bath can help control the situation too.
