Blocked Nose Can Be  One Of The Factors That Changes Our Entire Lives…

 

You know things have gone wrong when you read an article about how important it is to breathe thru your nose, but when you try – it is almost completely blocked!

Then you read about “slack-jawed mouth breathers”, and once again you have the choice of mouth breathing or suffocating.

Sneezes start to appear, first one or two – then dozens.  Eyes water and itch.  Slight dizziness.  Misery.

So – what can be done for blocked nose?

Because if we can reduce the blocked nose – the rest of the allergy trouble should reduce, right?

Two Angles Of Attack

The first approach is to use medication to reduce the allergic response of our bodies – ie to help unblock our nose so we can breathe thru it.  This usually means nasal sprays, or oral medicines.  They can include antihistamines and steroids, and sometimes just saline to rinse the allergens away.

The second part of the strategy for blocked noses is to reduce our exposure to the allergens – whether it is dust, dust mites, cat hair, certain smells, or whatever bothers you.

It makes sense to deal with these strategies in a certain order.  Given that the first thing you allergist is going to recommend is that you stop or at least reduce your intake of your trigger factors – it is logical to start with cleaning them out of the air you breathe.

 

One way to do this is to go and live on the top of a mountain surrounded by only naturally perfect, healthy air.  Good for you if you can do that.  Otherwise your next best bet is to get an air purifier.   I saved up and got the best one I could find – which is IQAir HealthPro Plus.   I got it because it can do my whole apartment.  It was a bit expensive, but my thought were that it pay for itself pretty fast if it reduced the amount of cash going to the drugstore for nasal sprays.  Click here for Info on the HealthPro Plus This is an affiliate link – I am happy to recommend it – and it will help pay for my replacement cartridges (So please buy one!)    I like the fact that the air in my flat is as clean as I can make it.

Each week I will post about different Blocked Nose and Allergy treatments and things that I find helpful.
