Are you overwhelmed by the symptoms of your allergies? Are they keeping you awake at night and making your days impossible to live comfortably? If you do, you aren’t the only one. Millions of others all over the world, suffer right along with you. Fortunately, there are many different options available for anyone who is ready to face their allergy symptoms head-on. Below are some excellent tips that have been successful for others.
Shower and shampoo your hair prior to going to bed. Pollen gathers on the skin and in your hair. This can cause allergy symptoms while you sleep. A quick rinse before bed can make a big difference in your life.
Dust mites can be hard to avoid. These mites dwell in pillows and mattresses, and they feed off flakes of skin. They can’t be seen easily, but they are there and contribute to allergies for some people. Create a hostile environment for mites by purchasing zippered hypoallergenic cases and covers for your pillows and mattress. Wash your bedding once a week in hot water to eradicate dust mites.
Have you heard that your allergies can actually be caused by your own body? This is the truth! Pollen and other allergens can cling to your clothing, your hair and any exposed body parts as you perform your daily routine. By bedtime, you have collected enough allergens to cause difficulty breathing properly while you sleep. That’s just one of the many good reasons to go to bed clean and wearing fresh pajamas.
If you have pets and struggle with allergies, you may not know whether your pet is adding to your troubles. Ask your doctor to give you an allergy test to determine if animals are one of your allergies. You won’t have to give up your pet, but you will have to make certain changes to your lifestyle.
As mentioned at the start of this article, most Americans spend a lot of time outdoors even though more than half of us suffer from some kind of allergy. Hopefully, this article has given you useful information so you can better manage your allergies, whether indoors or outdoors.
