In my last newsletter I talked about tackling allergies from the inside with good gut flora, anti-inflammatory foods and intestinal support. As well as this, it’s helpful to reduce your pollen contact when pollen levels are high (check daily pollen guide on weather reports):
- Keep windows closed when pollen levels are high
- Don’t hang washing out as it can attract pollen
- Stay in and don’t go walking through fields
- Don’t cut your own grass or rake your own leaves
- Clean your home by dusting with a damp cloth and washing bedding and cushions frequently at high temperatures
- Get someone else to groom pets who may have pollen on
- Shower before bed to wash away any pollen or allergens
- Always wash clothes that may have pollen on
- Try and get to the beach for holidays which is pollen free rather than woods or camping fields
