No, honey doesn't cure pollen allergies. But these home remedies do.
If you suffer from allergic rhinitis symptoms but aren't sure what you're allergic to or which seasons to worry about, the experts recommend seeing an allergist."We recommend keeping windows closed at all times inside the home and car to help limit exposure to outdoor pollen while inside," says Stukus. If it gets warm, crank the air conditioning — it can be very effective to help filter particles like pollen out and keep people cool when the windows are closed, says Stukus.
Parikh recommends washing your sheets weekly in hot water to help remove the allergens, and getting dust mite covers for your mattress."Exposure to multiple allergens can only make things worse," says Parikh.Stukus says an N95 mask can also help block pollen particles, so consider wearing one outside, especially when the pollen count is high or during any activities where you'll be exposed to lots of pollen, like mowing the lawn.
. Neti pots are a more powerful way to get the saline throughout the sinus cavities and clear out mucus, says Stukus."Don't underestimate the power of staying hydrated," says Stukus, adding that this can help keep the irritated mucous membranes moist. Drinking water is also a good idea for overall health. Exercise regularly
"I recommend caution with the humidifiers because they can get some mold built up over time," says Stukus. "The most effective medicine across the board for all of the symptoms are nasal steroid sprays," says Stukus. These are available over-the-counter, sold under brand names like Flonase or Nasacort. "They have to be used consistently on a daily basis to offer the most benefit, so you can't really do them as needed," says Stukus.
