Dear Friends,
April showers bring May flowers....remember that from school? April showers also bring tree pollens, grass and plant pollens; maybe even mold from the leaky gutters. How about itchy eyes and sinus congestion and some coughing or sneezing? Ahhh, Spring is here at last and we are so glad! But what are we going to do about the allergens' effect on our bodies?
Practical advice includes:
- Stay indoors early mornings and twilight or on windy days when the irritants fly around the most.
- Wash hands and faces frequently to keep irritants from sensitive areas
- Refrain from laying on the bed or couch with outer clothing that may be covered in pollens.
- Use a Neti pot or saline spray to wash away irritants from the nose and sinuses. Think about using a homeopathic eye drop (no steroids or anti-histamines) to soothe eyes.
- Drink plenty of water to keep mucus membranes hydrated.
- And, most importantly, make an appointment to see Dr. Mania for a Chiropractic adjustment! Adjustments help to calm your overworked immune system, balance the nervous system and lower inflammation. We can help drain the sinuses, get your lymphatic system flowing and relieve the sore muscles from coughing and sneezing! Don't suffer unnecessarily...check in for a check up and get a jump on Spring!
All the best and we'll see you soon!
Carmel-Ann Mania, D.C.
