With spring and the cherry blossoms in full swing in the DMV area, so is allergy season. With nearly 50% of Americans suffering from seasonal allergies every day, many are looking for ways to alleviate their symptoms. Here are a few helpful tips to help put a stop to seasonal allergies so that you can breathe easy and enjoy the beauty DC can offer!
Eat Local
Studies have recently proven that if you eat local honey, it can help to combat seasonal allergies. The bees transfer pollen from flower blossoms to honey, so if you eat a little honey every day you’ll gradually become immunized against the irritating effects of pollen. Add honey to your tea or use honey instead of sugar in your morning coffee to add a little boost to your morning buzz.
Clean Your Electronics
Similar to preventing colds and the flu, wiping down your telephone handset and everyday electronics and help reduce allergens in your office. Washing jackets, scarves, and sweaters frequently will also reduce your exposure to allergens and prevent symptoms from flaring up.
Shower Each Day
