3 Tips to Treat Your Hay Fever Without Medicine

While the Airofit breathing trainer might assist with respiratory issues, Airofit is not a medical device nor made for treating illness.

Do you know the desperate feeling of itchy eyes, constant sneezing, and runny nose during the pollen season? Your hay fever (a.k.a. seasonal allergy, pollen allergy, allergic rhinitis) causes inflammation of your respiratory airways and more mucus is produced to trap the pollen particles. Your airways narrow and it’s almost impossible for you to breathe. 

Your immune system is working overtime to relieve you from the symptoms. This may cause tension in your body resulting in crappy days with low energy levels, unstable mood, and lack of sleep. 

Say goodbye to your hay fever allergy symptoms

Do you in general feel exhausted? Are you losing the motivation to complete your favorite activities? Or do your emotions change unpredictably?

– Then you may be experiencing allergy fatigue. 

This is often a side effect of having a blocked nose, which goes hand-in-hand with poor sleep quality. Allergies that irritate your nasal passages compromise your ability to breathe, especially at night. You’ll end up breathing with your mouth and snoring, which significantly decreases your sleep quality. Being well-rested is what you need, especially during an allergy season.

Don’t worry! We’ve collected a few tips that can help you fix your allergy fatigue.

The answer is BREATHING

Dealing with allergies can be tough, and it’s not always easy to just avoid the things that trigger them. However, science tells us there is an effective, practical solution: focusing on your breathing.

Research shows that doing breathing exercises can calm your nervous system and reduce the release of histamines. Histamines are chemicals that cause allergy symptoms like itching and sneezing. One study showed that doing 20 minutes of daily breath training reduced allergy symptoms significantly.

Optimal, slow, and deep breathing can calm your nervous system down and give you the desired night’s rest. It can strengthen your lungs and keep them open. This boosts your immune system and gives you more energy. As a result, you can return to being active and happy.

Get rid of your hay fever allergic reactions with 3 tips

Simple, effective, and drug-free. Exercises and recommendations designed by the world’s leading breathing experts are awaiting you. 

1. Nasal washes

Naturally clean your nose before practicing a breathing exercise or when you feel nasal congestion or excess mucus. Dr. Mike Maric, in his book “The Science of Breathing”, shares a perfect drug-free recipe: 

“Boil half a liter of water and as it cools, dissolve a little less than a level teaspoon of cooking sea salt in it. Once the water has reached a temperature close to that of the body, 36°-37 °C, you can start irrigating the nostrils.

Use a small syringe without the needle to inject water into one nostril, and then the other.

2. Diaphragmatic breathing

Breathing from the “belly” rather than from the chest will help you strengthen the major breathing muscle – the diaphragm, decreasing your body’s oxygen needs and slow your nervous system down. That’s the key to relieving your hay fever symptoms. An optimized respiratory system will help you breathe easier, give you more energy daily, and let you sleep like a baby.

A smart trainer like Airofit will teach you how to practice diaphragmatic breathing effortlessly from the comfort of your sofa. Practice 5-10 minutes a day and treat your allergy in just a few weeks.
