How Do You Beat Allergy Season?

It’s like there’s not enough allergy medicine in the world, and it looks like we’ll be stuck with this “very high” tree pollen count at least through Friday. Here are some tips to help alleviate the sneezing a little bit:

• Clean everything. Wipe down and vacuum all the surfaces inside and outside of your home, and remember to wear a mask while you’re doing it.

• Clean yourself. You’re outside enjoying the beautiful weather, and by the time you get home your hair is full of pollen, so washing it at the end of the day can help.

• Clean your filters. If you’re closing up windows and running an air conditioner already, remember to change and clean the filters and vents often.

As for treatments, seriously, the over-the-counter stuff is not helping some of us at the moment. Can anyone recommend alternative treatments, like acupuncture at Third Root, the allergy tea at Sacred Vibes, or something else?
