How To Treat And Prevent Common Winter Allergies?


An allergy is a common health issue that is experienced by many people, especially those who have weak or oversensitive immune system. If you are allergic to pollen, you may have a sigh of relief when the atmosphere gets cold. However, if you have allergies due to dust mites or mold in indoors, especially during winter months, your complaints may aggravate and trouble you.

Allergies can occur due to oversensitive, weak or underdeveloped immune system. There are certain triggering factors (allergens) that give rise of allergies. When the atmosphere gets cold and your heating furnace kicks on it, your internal environment is polluted with dust, molds and pathogens (viruses). They can accumulate into your nasal passages, giving rise to allergic reaction. These allergens are found in bedding, mattresses and furniture, which become airborne, producing allergic symptoms.
