What It's Like Being COVID-Conscious in 2024 - Published Aug 26, 2024

Aug. 26, 2024 – On a warm July evening, Raleigh Rivera, 29, went to see a band play a backyard show in East Los Angeles. The audience – around 40 people – wore KN95 or N95 masks, tested for COVID beforehand, and agreed that they would excuse themselves from the rest of the crowd if they needed to take off their masks for any reason. Before they played, the band showed their negative test results to the attendees and asked their permission to perform without masks. They were lit with far-UV lighting, which has been shown to safely kill airborne viruses.

This might sound like a scene from three or four summers ago, when taking COVID precautions was encouraged by most health officials, policymakers, and community members – but it happened this summer. For Rivera and the rest of the crowd – who identify as COVID-conscious – life hasn’t gone “back to normal,” as it has for so many others.

Rivera and other COVID-vigilant people have cause for alarm: At the beginning of August, the percentage of people testing positive for COVID reached its highest level since January 2022, according to CDC data. The public health agency’s wastewater testing tracker shows “high” or “very high” virus levels in most U.S. states.

Many studies have shown that properly masking gives you an extra layer of protection against COVID. But Rivera, like others in the COVID-conscious community, is usually the only person wearing a mask in any given setting.

“Continuing to think and live this way kind of feels like you’re living in an alternate reality all the time,” she said. She has POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), a chronic blood disorder that can cause your heart rate to jump if you stand up. Along with masking wherever she goes, Rivera and her husband have air purifiers throughout their home and use a saline nasal rinse and an antimicrobial mouthwash before heading outside.

Despite her vigilance, Rivera caught COVID in the fall of 2023. She got on Paxlovid right away, yet she was hit with crushing fatigue that incapacitated her for a few weeks, she said. After she recovered, her POTS symptoms – which can include fatigue, lightheadedness, and nausea – worsened. She is just starting to get her appetite back, almost a year later.

“Everything is still a risk calculation, wherever I go. But at this show, I felt like my body could finally relax,” she said. “I felt very present and a part of something in a way that I haven’t been able to experience in a long time.”

Local governments in places like New York City and Los Angeles have considered imposing mask bans – mostly in response to protesters wearing masks at rallies to conceal their identities – regardless of the summer increase in COVID case numbers.

“It takes a lot of confidence,” said Rivera. “It gives up a piece of my social currency. I know there are places I’m no longer invited to because [wearing a mask] either weirds people out or bums them out that I’m going to keep this reminder of the pandemic on my face.”

For Rivera and others, much of the onus of community protection seems to fall on those with weakened immune systems. One of their biggest concerns is the lack of masking in medical settings. While some health systems have brought back masking policies since numbers have started to climb again, many have not done the same.

Aaron Friedberg, MD, a professor and internal medicine doctor with a specialty in long COVID at Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, wears a mask in every clinical setting, even though the hospital no longer requires it.

“There are still some people who get very sick from COVID, even though it’s much less common now,” he said. “To me, wearing a mask is a relatively easy thing I can do to improve their health. It’s an important way of showing respect for your patients, to protect them.”

Bernard Camins, MD, an infectious disease specialist at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, also understands this worry. The hospital still sees plenty of patients with COVID, he said, but the vaccinated and boosted hospital staff does not tend to see transmission of the virus because they continue to wear the right personal protective equipment.

Olivia Belknap, an associate marriage and family therapist in the Los Angeles area, is COVID-conscious and sees many clients with similar concerns. She said there is a lot to what it means to be COVID-conscious.

Nowadays, many might consider taking COVID precautions to be extreme, but Belknap herself (who was also diagnosed with POTS after a COVID infection) and some of her clients are not yet comfortable getting on an airplane or eating outside on a restaurant patio. She sees clients who aren’t willing to step indoors almost anywhere that isn’t their own home.

“A majority of [my clients] have sought me out because they know that regardless of what levels of precautions they’re taking, I’m not going to pathologize them for it or discourage them from doing those things,” said Belknap. “It’s more about finding meaning and connection in your life while still doing things in a way that is safe for you and makes you feel comfortable.”

Belknap said it’s not her place to tell people they’re being too prudent or too lax in their precautions. Sometimes, she works with clients who are anxious about taking the first steps in loosening their own restrictions; other times, she’s talking to people struggling to come to terms with what it means to have a substantially smaller social circle for what could be the rest of their lives.

Although it seems like the rest of the world has moved on, the worry is valid for those whose lives may be upended by a post-viral reaction from a COVID infection, Camins said.

“It may not be death, but it’s still debilitating. You’re alive, but it’s not a fun way to live life,”

While protecting yourself against what could be life-altering long COVID symptoms is more than justified, Camins said there is a potential downside for those with weakened immune systems: They might get sicker from other viruses than they would have before.

“The only thing I worry about for this community is that, since they’re very careful about COVID, they’re probably not getting exposed to other viruses that their bodies can build immunity against,” he said. “At some point, if you let down your guard, you’re going to get sick a lot.”

There are times when Rivera wants to give up on masking altogether, like when she attends a wedding. She still goes to many of them, and she puts in the time to do her makeup, despite knowing most people won’t see her face for most the night. She’d like to be able to take her mask off indoors, eat inside without worrying, or have a drink with friends.

There could be a future for Rivera that doesn’t include the same level of precautions she’s currently taking – but that comes with conditions.

“There are some places that I know I will continue to wear a mask forever, like in medical settings or traveling,” she said. “But I also know that there will be no more weddings for me if I am permanently and significantly more disabled than I already am, and that’s very possible with another infection.”

an amusing fact: i finally sucked it up and used saline nasal rinse to make my nostrils functional again (it's SO DRY this year god this is TMI but my sinuses get SO swollen and I have SO MANY NOSEBLEEDS...) and I actually like. breathed 2% more oxygen than normal last night:

so, hm. I guess the minor agony of saline rinse is...tragically....worth it.

[myfriendskickass]

we still need to clean the house (still doing basement maintenance) and i need to find adhd friendly ways to clean frequently enough to eliminate all my OTHER environmental allergies first bc i am allergic to cats technically but if/when i get a new cat i cant just LEAVE THEM smh

@vergess does this sound like mcas to you

brief allergy history overview for context:

allergic to dust, pollen (esp ragweed), cat and dog dander, mold, cigarette smoke apparently?? a couple of other things supposedly idr i got dx'd in 1999

was on allergy meds of various kinds from age 5 to present plus allergy shots starting every 2 weeks graduating to every month. meds i REMEMBER taking (remember i started at age 5.): zyrtec twice a day rx until it went otc (idr dosage), rhinocort (idr if rx or otc). stopped that at some point idr when or why. rx patanol twice a day. saline nose spray twice a day. allergy shots never make me react more than some itchiness.

got the cat in 8th grade. allergist was NOT happy about it. reaction was itchy eyes for like 2 weeks that eventually stopped.

went to college in early 2010s. allergist said i dont need shots anymore. no access to allergist meant i stopped using the patanol unless my eyes got SUPER itchy because at the time it was rx only. continued to take otc generic zyrtec 10mg twice a day. (i was on liquid until like high school bc i couldnt swallow pills so when i switched to pills i continued the same dosage which...is HONESTLY pediatric now that i think about it, but even at 18 it still worked? i was still very skinny though)

then 3 years into college i started getting acid reflux so bad i couldn't eat plain lettuce. got an endoscopy done. got dx'd with eosinophilic esophagitis. got put on 40mg sodium pantoprazole (insurance would not cover nexium.) once a day. (COINCIDENTALLY GAINED A LOT OF WEIGHT AFTER THIS HMM)

went back to same allergist i have been seeing since i was 5. got a skin test done. was told i was MORE reactive (especially to cat :() than i was in 1999...all from 3 years without allergy shots? at least on the skin test. started shots again. got blood tested for food allergies. results seem to fluctuate whether i ate that thing before testing (ie whether it comes up as higher than what the bloodwork calls "level 0/equivocal") two constant and consistent results are hazelnuts and carrots (which have ALWAYS given me acid reflux)

i go back to gi with these results. they tell me i might have GERD. (allergist, when told of my eosinic dx, says "ugh i hope not, you need a liquid diet to deal with that."). second endoscopy after a month on the proton pump inhibitor. acid damage is healing. they tell me its safe to stay on pantoprazole long term.

fast forward to today, 9 years later. i take 10 mg of zyrtec otc twice a day. i tried flonase, did nothing. allegra is too hard to swallow. getting monthly allergy shots. rinse my nose out with saline when i remember to. take otc patanol extra strength once a day (package says to and its easier to remember than twice a day). i skip pantoprazole until the acid reflux gets very bad because 1. makes me gain weight 2. unsure about how safe it is long term 3. i just forget sometimes. i stopped eating all food allergens EXCEPT dairy because whether whey shows up as an ige allergy seems to fluctuate and also i love cheese. i am working on it.

SYMPTOMS, though: constant post nasal drip. (no change from childhood.) nose is stuffier but managed with saline. general constant low level cold symptoms (stuffy nose, very rare slight cough) eyes water only if i forget to use eyedrops. sometimes i get itchy but no hives, no redness. acid reflux when i skip the ppi or eat carrots. i gave up nutella entirely because nut allergies can apparently get worse out of the blue very fast. ragweed season gives me watery eyes and stuffy nose almost 24/7 but no wheezing or breathing issues. ANIMAL DANDER, my biggest concern, gives me itchy watery eyes DEPENDING on how clean the environment is. (i was completely fine in a small house for 12 hours with 4 cats and 3 dogs, fine in my sister's house for 6-8 hours with a shibe, but not fine in a house with 3 cats thats never vaccuumed, and not fine in my sister's car that had no shibe in it.) (not fine is still just minor eye symptoms)

cat died in 2017 so i no longer have long term exposure but dander supposedly stays in the house right? towards the end of his life, we let him in my previously off limits room that had a knockoff hepa filter running 24/7 with no issues. he was not in my room 24/7. currently i have a purezone i think??? hepa filter running 8-6 hours a day because the blue light is required for it to function. i try to change it every 3 months but sometimes i forget.

i really want another cat...even though my allergist is of the "you shouldn't be exposing yourself to any allergens on purpose" mentality. she DOES think mcas exists. she also said its safe to take 10mg cetirizine hcl 4x a day. people tell me allergies can get worse with exposure over time but then how would allergy shots work?

things i wonder about and will ask her next appointment: i am no longer 18 and 90lbs soaking wet- is 10mg of zyrtec once a day enough? did i build a tolerance? should i go back to twice a day?

my current goals:

i will use saline more often. vaccuum and dust more. keep my air filter running 24/7. IF i get a cat, no access to my room ever. i will feed it that purina food scientifically proven to lower the amount of allergen in their dander.

my big fear is 1. i have mcas which makes any allergy exposure a risk 2. people are correct unfortunately and allergy exposure DOES make it worse and that getting a cat now will give me anaphylaxis in the future :( (but then how do allergy shots work???)

i have never experienced anaphylaxis. i have never needed an epi pen. i never needed benadryl.i still don't react to the allergy shots. reactions to pet dander are mild annoying itchy eyes that depend on how clean the area is and also don't always last for the entire time i am exposed anyway. but my bloodwork shows inflammation a lot but no doctor has ever been concerned.

is this mcas??? it kind of looks more like i got sloppy with cleaning and med taking and also possibly built up a tolerance to zyrtec/gained enough weight that 10mg/a day is not enough anymore? allegra did nothing when i switched but i was also taking it 1x a day

my PLAN was get on top of every other allergen so that cat dander is the only thing i am exposed to on a daily basis BUT if this looks more like my allergies overall are just getting worse, i don't want to risk getting a cat just to have to rehome it.

lol sorry this adhd ramble was prompted by pc advice

i am NOT asking for medical advice! i am asking 1. what to ask my doctor in a way that wont make her fire me as a patient for getting a cat (right now she just says "its different when you own one" but i had one for 11 years with no issue so???) 2. does this match your experience as somebody with mcas

Jal Neti is a yogic cleansing practice that involves rinsing the nasal passages with lukewarm saline water. This ancient technique is an integral part of Hatha Yoga, aimed at purifying the nasal and sinus passages. To perform Jal Neti, a specially designed pot or container called a Neti pot is filled with saline water, and the practitioner tilts their head to allow the water to flow through one nostril and out the other. It helps remove mucus, dust, and pollutants from the nasal passages, relieving congestion and promoting clear breathing. Jal Neti also enhances mental clarity, concentration, and is a valuable practice for overall well-being.

Jal Neti kriya offers several benefits for those who practice it regularly:

1. Nasal Cleansing: It effectively clears mucus, dust, and pollutants from the nasal passages, promoting easy and unobstructed breathing. 2. Sinus Relief: Jal Neti can alleviate sinus congestion and reduce the frequency of sinus infections, providing relief from sinus-related discomfort. 3. Improved Mental Clarity: Cleansing the nasal passages can enhance mental alertness and concentration, as it is believed to stimulate the nerve endings in the nasal area. 4. Allergy Management: It may help individuals manage seasonal allergies by removing allergens from the nasal passages, reducing allergy symptoms. 5. Enhanced Respiratory Health: Jal Neti can strengthen the respiratory system, improving lung function and reducing the likelihood of respiratory issues.

[lotus-tower]

from the People's CDC website. check out their resources!

how to construct a corsi-rosenthal box, a homemade DYI filter that can rival expensive HEPA filters in performance

some people also recommend a disinfecting nasal spray/a saline nasal rinse and a saltwater mouth gargle after going out and being in contact with many people

y’all do NOT go out next week unless you have to and wear your best masks and tape the edges down bc it’s just not worth it

[fractallogic]

I used to sing and my vocal coach recommended it to me

My mom used to recommend it to me along with a saline nasal spray (idk tho that feels like I’m being waterboarded)

I was told to do this after I got my wisdom teeth out

I refused because hey there were other remedies!! I’m fine!! Warm salt water is GROSS!!

And finally, on day 4 of this cold with a particularly nasty sore throat, I can confirm that FINE, even just rinsing my mouth out with warm salt water feels nice (because actually gargling makes me gag), EVEN NICER than warm tea because the effects last longer

After I started doing it yesterday, I woke up today with basically ZERO sore throat. I just. What the hell.

HOW.

Home Remedies for Combating Seasonal Allergies

The symptoms of seasonal allergies, which are frequently brought on by pollen, mold, and other environmental factors, can cause problems with day-to-day activities and include sneezing, itchy eyes, and congestion.

These allergies, which can cause painful and even fatal symptoms, are caused by our immune system's reaction to allergens in the air during particular seasons.

Home remedies provide a natural, side-effect-free method of effectively managing allergy symptoms, while over-the-counter medicines provide relief.

Home Remedies for Combating Seasonal Allergies

Symptoms of Seasonal Allergies

You can differentiate seasonal allergies from other medical disorders by being able to recognize their symptoms.

Sneezing, a runny or clogged nose, watery or itchy eyes, a sore throat, and fatigue are typical symptoms.

These symptoms are made worse by higher concentrations of pollen and other allergens in the air during the spring and fall seasons of the year.

Finding relief begins with addressing these symptoms.

Benefits of Using Home Remedies for Allergy Relief

Without the negative effects of generic medications, home remedies provide a gentle yet efficient means of relieving allergy symptoms.

Natural remedies often lack the same side effects as allergy medications, such as dry mouth or drowsiness.

To offer an extra degree of alleviation, they can also be used in conjunction with conventional therapies.

You might find it simpler to consistently and sustainably control your symptoms if you choose natural solutions.

Saline Nasal Rinse - A Simple Way to Clear Nasal Passages

A tried-and-true method for clearing allergies from your nasal passages is to use a saline nasal rinse.

Pollen and other material can be removed by rinsing with a saline solution, which can ease congestion while helping breathing.

Rinsing the sinuses with a neti pot or saline spray can help to reduce mucus accumulation and inflammation.

A readily available treatment is saline nasal rinses, which can be performed at home using a basic solution of salt and water or a premade solution.

Honey - Nature’s Sweet Solution

The body is believed to develop a resistance to local pollen by consuming local honey.

According to one idea, continuous exposure to trace amounts of local pollen found in honey may gradually desensitize your immune system, hence lowering allergy symptoms.

During allergy season, consuming a tablespoon of local, raw honey daily may help reduce symptoms.

To take advantage of honey's natural, sweet advantages, try adding it to your tea or smoothies, or just eat a tablespoon every day.

Herbal Teas - Soothing Relief with Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Some herbal teas, such as chamomile, peppermint, and ginger, can offer calming relief from allergic symptoms.

These teas can lessen inflammation in the throat and nasal passages because they have anti-inflammatory and antihistamine qualities.

Breathing difficulties and congestion can also be improved by drinking warm herbal tea.

Try chamomile for its relaxing and anti-allergic qualities, peppermint for its congestion advantages, and ginger tea for its anti-inflammatory effects.

Apple Cider Vinegar - An Antihistamine Boost

As a natural antihistamine, apple cider vinegar is a well-liked home treatment that may help lessen allergy symptoms.

This vinegar is believed to promote lymphatic drainage and aid in the breakdown of mucus, which can reduce congestion and help with breathing.

Try drinking a glass of water with one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar once or twice a day to see if it helps with your symptoms.

Honey can be added for taste and additional health benefits.

Essential Oils for Allergy Relief

Essential oils that induce relaxation and reduce allergy symptoms include lavender and eucalyptus.

While lavender oil contains relaxing and anti-inflammatory properties that may lessen discomfort, eucalyptus oil functions as a natural decongestant.

For aromatherapy advantages, try adding a few drops to a warm bath or using them in a diffuser.

Breathing becomes easier when eucalyptus steam is inhaled to relieve congestion.

When utilized properly, essential oils can be a very effective tool for treating allergies.

Probiotics - Strengthening the Immune System

Your immune response may be strengthened by a healthy gut, which may lessen the intensity of allergy symptoms.

The immune system and the body's reaction to allergens may be balanced by probiotics, or "good" bacteria.

The immune system can be strengthened by eating foods high in probiotics, such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and others.

During allergy season, if you dislike eating foods high in probiotics, think about taking a good probiotic supplement.

Include Vitamin C and Quercetin in Your Diet

Strong antioxidants like quercetin and vitamin C can naturally lessen allergy symptoms by lowering histamine production.

Citrus fruits, berries, and leafy greens are good sources of vitamin C, which functions as a natural antihistamine to reduce runny nose, itching, and sneezing.

Apples, onions, and green tea contain quercetin, which stabilizes histamine-releasing cells.

By including these items in your diet, you can strengthen your immune system and lessen the impact of allergy symptoms.

Unbearable Sinus Tooth Pain Home Remedies: Fast Relief and Natural Solutions

Are you suffering from unbearable sinus tooth pain? 😫 Don't worry, we've got you covered with some effective home remedies that can provide quick relief! 🌿 Welcome to Natural Home Remedies, where we explore natural solutions for common health issues.

Understanding Sinus Tooth Pain

Sinus tooth pain occurs when your sinuses become inflamed, putting pressure on the roots of your upper teeth. This can cause intense discomfort that's often mistaken for a toothache. Before we dive into the remedies, let's quickly understand why this happens:

Sinus infections

Allergies

Changes in air pressure

Nasal polyps

Now, let's explore some natural ways to alleviate this pain and get you feeling better fast!

Steam Inhalation: Your First Line of Defense

One of the most effective remedies for sinus-related tooth pain is steam inhalation. This simple technique can provide immediate relief:

Boil water in a large bowl

Add a few drops of eucalyptus or peppermint essential oil

Drape a towel over your head and lean over the bowl

Inhale the steam for 5-10 minutes

The warm, moist air helps to open up your nasal passages and reduce inflammation, easing the pressure on your teeth[1].

Saline Nasal Rinse: Flush Out the Problem

A saline nasal rinse can work wonders for sinus congestion and related tooth pain:

Mix 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of baking soda in 8 ounces of warm water

Use a neti pot or nasal spray bottle to flush your nasal passages

Repeat 2-3 times daily

This solution helps to thin mucus and flush out irritants, providing relief from sinus pressure[2].

Hydration: Nature's Decongestant

Staying hydrated is crucial when dealing with sinus issues. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to thin mucus and reduce congestion. Warm herbal teas, especially those with ginger or turmeric, can be particularly soothing[3].

Spicy Foods: Clear Your Sinuses Naturally

Believe it or not, spicy foods can be your ally in fighting sinus tooth pain. Capsaicin, found in chili peppers, acts as a natural decongestant. Try adding some cayenne pepper to your meals or sipping on hot and sour soup to clear your sinuses[1].

Elevate Your Head While Sleeping

When you lie flat, mucus can pool in your sinuses, increasing pressure. Use an extra pillow to keep your head elevated while sleeping. This simple adjustment can significantly reduce pain and congestion overnight[2].

Apple Cider Vinegar: A Potent Elixir

Apple cider vinegar is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Try this simple remedy:

Mix 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of warm water

Add a tablespoon of honey for taste

Drink this mixture twice daily

The acetic acid in apple cider vinegar can help break down mucus and provide relief from sinus pressure[3].

Essential Oil Massage

Gently massaging your face with diluted essential oils can help relieve sinus pressure:

Mix a few drops of peppermint or eucalyptus oil with a carrier oil

Gently massage your forehead, cheeks, and bridge of your nose

Repeat several times a day for relief

The menthol in these oils can help open up nasal passages and reduce pain[1].

Warm Compress: Soothing Relief

Applying a warm compress to your face can help alleviate sinus pressure and tooth pain:

Soak a clean cloth in warm water

Apply to your face, focusing on your cheeks and nose

Leave on for 5-10 minutes, repeating several times a day

The warmth helps to loosen mucus and reduce inflammation[2].

Remember, while these home remedies can provide significant relief, persistent or severe pain should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. Sinus infections sometimes require medical treatment.

Top 5 Ayurvedic Treatments for Holistic Healing at Home

In today's fast-paced world, the importance of holistic healing cannot be overstated. Ayurveda, an ancient Indian system of medicine, emphasizes the balance between body, mind, and spirit to promote overall well-being. With the rising interest in natural remedies and self-care, many individuals are turning to Ayurvedic treatments for their holistic healing properties. In this blog, we will explore the top five Ayurvedic treatments that you can easily incorporate into your home routine. If you’re looking for professional guidance, consider visiting an Ayurvedic home care treatment center in Thiruvalla or an Ayurvedic home care treatment center in Pathanamthitta for personalized care.

1. Ayurvedic Herbal Teas

Herbal teas play a vital role in Ayurvedic practices. They are not only soothing but also provide numerous health benefits depending on the herbs used. Here are some popular Ayurvedic herbal teas you can prepare at home:

Tulsi Tea: Known for its adaptogenic properties, tulsi (holy basil) tea helps in reducing stress and enhancing immunity. Brew fresh tulsi leaves in boiling water for 10 minutes and enjoy its aromatic flavor.

Ginger Tea: Ginger is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent. Drinking ginger tea can help with digestion, relieve nausea, and reduce cold symptoms. Simply steep fresh ginger slices in hot water and add honey for sweetness.

Peppermint Tea: This refreshing tea aids digestion and relieves headaches. Brew fresh or dried peppermint leaves in hot water, and enjoy it hot or cold.

Incorporating these herbal teas into your daily routine can promote hydration, boost immunity, and improve digestion, making them an essential part of holistic healing at home.

2. Ayurvedic Oil Massages

Oil massages, or Abhyanga, are an integral part of Ayurveda. They not only relax the muscles but also nourish the skin and improve circulation. Here’s how to perform an Ayurvedic oil massage at home:

Choose the Right Oil: Depending on your body type (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha), select an appropriate oil. For example, sesame oil is great for Vata, coconut oil for Pitta, and mustard oil for Kapha.

Warm the Oil: Slightly warm the oil before application to enhance absorption.

Massage Technique: Use circular motions on the joints and long strokes along the limbs. Spend extra time on areas of tension. Aim to massage for at least 20 minutes.

Regular oil massages can reduce stress, improve skin health, and enhance overall well-being. It’s a practice that promotes self-care and connects you with your body.

3. Nasal Irrigation (Jala Neti)

Jala Neti is an ancient Ayurvedic practice for cleansing the nasal passages and promoting respiratory health. It involves using a neti pot filled with warm saline water to rinse the nasal cavities. Here’s how to do it:

Prepare the Solution: Mix a teaspoon of non-iodized salt in a cup of warm distilled or boiled water.

Perform Jala Neti: Tilt your head to one side over a sink, insert the spout of the neti pot into the upper nostril, and allow the saline solution to flow through. Repeat on the other side.

This practice can help alleviate sinus issues, reduce allergies, and improve overall respiratory health. It’s particularly beneficial during allergy seasons or for individuals living in polluted areas.

4. Ayurvedic Dietary Practices

Ayurveda places a significant emphasis on diet and nutrition as a means of achieving balance and health. Here are some dietary practices you can adopt for holistic healing:

Eat Seasonal Foods: Consuming seasonal fruits and vegetables ensures that you get the nutrients your body needs while minimizing toxins. For example, enjoy light foods like salads in the summer and hearty soups in winter.

Incorporate Spices: Spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander have anti-inflammatory and digestive properties. Use them in your cooking to enhance flavor and health benefits.

Mindful Eating: Practice mindful eating by paying attention to your food, chewing slowly, and avoiding distractions. This approach aids digestion and promotes satisfaction with smaller portions.

Implementing these dietary practices can significantly enhance your well-being and help you achieve a balanced lifestyle.

5. Meditation and Pranayama

Mental health is as crucial as physical health in Ayurveda. Meditation and pranayama (breath control) are powerful practices for achieving mental clarity and emotional balance. Here’s how to get started:

Find a Quiet Space: Choose a calm environment where you can sit comfortably without distractions.

Meditation: Close your eyes and focus on your breath or a mantra. Start with just 5-10 minutes daily and gradually increase the duration.

Pranayama Techniques: Simple pranayama techniques like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) can help reduce stress and improve lung capacity. Inhale through one nostril and exhale through the other, alternating for several minutes.

Regular meditation and pranayama can lead to reduced anxiety, improved concentration, and a deeper connection with your inner self.

Conclusion

Incorporating Ayurvedic treatments into your home routine can lead to significant improvements in your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. From herbal teas and oil massages to nasal irrigation and mindful eating, these practices can provide a holistic approach to health. If you're interested in personalized Ayurvedic care, consider visiting an Ayurvedic home care treatment center in Thiruvalla or an Ayurvedic home care treatment center in Pathanamthitta for expert guidance.

By embracing these Ayurvedic treatments, you not only enhance your health but also foster a sense of balance and harmony in your life. Start your journey towards holistic healing today!

How Can Yoga Help with Sinus Issues?

Yoga can be highly effective in alleviating sinus issues by promoting better breathing, reducing congestion, and enhancing overall respiratory health. Sinus problems, often caused by allergies, infections, or environmental factors, can lead to discomfort, headaches, and difficulty breathing. Specific yoga practices, including poses, breathing exercises, and cleansing techniques, can help relieve sinus congestion and improve airflow.

1. Breathing Exercises (Pranayama)

Pranayama, or breath control, is particularly beneficial for clearing the nasal passages and reducing sinus congestion.

Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing): This breathing technique balances the left and right nostrils, promoting clear nasal passages and reducing sinus pressure. It helps to improve airflow and alleviate congestion by gently opening the sinuses.

Kapalabhati (Skull-Shining Breath): This energizing breathing exercise involves rapid exhalations that help expel mucus from the nasal passages, clearing blockages and improving sinus function. It also boosts circulation and helps detoxify the respiratory system.

2. Yoga Poses for Sinus Relief

Certain yoga poses can help reduce sinus congestion by improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and promoting drainage.

Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana): This gentle backbend opens the chest and sinuses, encouraging better airflow and drainage. By elevating the chest, it helps reduce sinus pressure and improves breathing.

Standing Forward Bend (Uttanasana): This forward fold allows the head to hang below the heart, encouraging sinus drainage and reducing congestion. The increased blood flow to the head and face helps alleviate sinus pressure.

Fish Pose (Matsyasana): Fish Pose opens the throat and chest, promoting deep breathing and relieving sinus pressure. The pose stretches the muscles around the neck and head, which can help ease sinus-related headaches.

3. Cleansing Techniques (Kriyas)

Yoga also includes specific cleansing techniques, known as kriyas, which can help clear the nasal passages and reduce sinus issues.

Jala Neti (Nasal Irrigation): This traditional yogic practice involves using a neti pot to rinse the nasal passages with saline water. Jala Neti helps remove mucus, allergens, and pollutants from the sinuses, promoting clear and healthy nasal passages. It is particularly effective for those suffering from chronic sinusitis or allergies.

4. Mindfulness and Relaxation

Stress can exacerbate sinus issues by contributing to inflammation and immune system dysfunction. Incorporating mindfulness practices like meditation and Yoga Nidra into your routine can reduce stress levels, which in turn may lessen the severity of sinus problems.

Incorporating online yoga classes for sinus into your daily routine can significantly help manage and reduce sinus issues. By improving breathing, promoting drainage, and reducing stress, yoga offers a natural and holistic approach to maintaining sinus health.

5 Common Seasonal Allergy symptoms and How to manage them?

Seasonal allergies, also known as allergic rhinitis or hay fever, are caused by the body’s immune system reacting to allergens in the environment. Common triggers include pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds, as well as mold spores. When these allergens are inhaled, the immune system perceives them as harmful invaders and releases histamines and other chemicals to combat them. While some people may only experience symptoms during specific seasons when certain allergens are prevalent, others may have perennial allergies that persist year-round due to indoor allergens like dust mites, pet dander, or cockroach droppings. Here are some of the common symptoms of seasonal allergies and how to handle them well:

Sneezing

Sneezing is a reflex that helps clear the nasal passages of irritants like pollen and dust. When allergens enter your nasal passages, they can trigger this reflex, causing frequent and sometimes intense bouts of sneezing. Here are 3 methods that can help you manage sneezing;

Saline Nasal Sprays: Use these to rinse out allergens from your nasal passages.

Close Windows: Keep windows shut during high pollen counts to prevent allergens from entering your home.

Avoid Outdoor Activities: Stay indoors when pollen counts are high, especially during the early morning when pollen levels are typically highest.

Runny or Stuffy Nose

A runny or stuffy nose, also known as rhinitis, occurs when allergens irritate the lining of your nasal passages, leading to increased mucus production and nasal congestion. One way to handle a runny or stuffy nose is through the use of nasal sprays. There are various nasal sprays that are available to use over the counter including intranasal corticosteroids or intranasal antihistamines. Our allergists in Denton can help you come up with a regimen that works best for you!

Itchy or Watery Eyes

Allergens like pollen can irritate the conjunctiva, the membrane covering the white part of the eyes, causing itching, redness, and excessive tearing in your eyes. Watery eyes is a common seasonal allergy symptom. You can minimize this irritation by using antihistamine eye drops which can relieve allergy symptoms like itching and reduce redness. Wearing sunglasses outdoors will also protect your eyes from allergens. Finally, avoid touching eyes and refrain from rubbing your eyes, as this can worsen irritation.

Coughing

Coughing can result from post nasal drip, where excess mucus from the nasal passages drips down the back of the throat, causing irritation and a persistent cough. This is a very common seasonal allergy symptom in Denton, TX that a lot of folks deal with. 3 ways you can manage cough symptoms are:

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to help thin mucus and ease coughing.

Throat Lozenges: Use lozenges to soothe throat irritation.

Air Purifiers: Use air purifiers to reduce indoor allergens and improve air quality.

Wheezing or Shortness of Breath

For some individuals, allergens can trigger asthma-like symptoms, causing wheezing, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing. Methods to alleviate shortness of breath include the following:

Prescribed Inhalers: Use inhalers as directed by your doctor to relieve symptoms.

Avoid Strenuous Activities: Limit outdoor exercise during high pollen counts.

Consult a Doctor: See a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management.

By recognizing these common seasonal allergy symptoms and using the appropriate management strategies, you can significantly reduce discomfort and improve your quality of life during your allergy season. Please contact an allergist near you if allergy symptoms persist. Always consult with a healthcare professional if symptoms persist or worsen, to ensure you receive the best possible care.

Idk what the latest on this is but there's also been some research that using those little nasal saline thingies helps prevent infection! Even if you inhale covid a nasal rinse may be enough to disrupt the infection from taking root in your system!

(From Monkeys on Typewriters’ newest article.)

Really important things I wish more people kept in mind. Reducing infection risk isn’t all-or-nothing. Masking 80% of the time is better than masking 50% of the time, which is better than masking 0% of the time. Breathing in less virus is vastly preferable to breathing in more virus. Wearing a surgical mask is better than wearing no mask.

But it’s exactly because real, tangible measures to reduce infection risk exist that we should be fighting to have those measures implemented in settings like healthcare, schools, and workplaces.

Five Sense Organs Features, Common Diseases, Cure, and Maintenance Practices

The human body is a remarkable creation, and at the heart of our experience of the world are the five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. These senses are our windows to the world, enabling us to perceive and interact with our environment through eyes, nose, ears, tongue and skin.  

These vital sense organs require essential maintenance practices to ensure they continue to serve us well throughout our lives. 

Eyes for Sight

Our eyes are arguably the most complex and intricate sense organs. They allow us to perceive the world in vibrant colors and intricate detail. Common eye diseases include myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), cataracts, and glaucoma. Regular eye check-ups, wearing prescribed eyeglasses or contact lenses, and protecting the eyes from harmful UV rays are essential maintenance practices for maintaining healthy vision. 

Ears for Hearing

Ears enable us to connect with the world through sound. They consist of the outer, middle, and inner ear. Common ear problems include hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and ear infections. Protecting your ears from loud noises, avoiding the use of cotton swabs to clean the ear canal, and seeking medical attention when experiencing hearing issues are crucial for maintaining good hearing health. 

Nose for Smell

The nose is responsible for our sense of smell, which plays a significant role in our perception of flavors and detecting potential dangers like spoiled food or gas leaks. Common nasal issues include sinusitis, allergies, and loss of smell. Proper hygiene, avoiding smoking and exposure to pollutants, and using saline nasal rinses can help keep the nasal passages healthy. 

Tongue for Taste

Our tongues are responsible for our sense of taste, which allows us to enjoy a wide variety of flavors and influences our dietary choices. Common tongue issues include taste disorders and conditions affecting the taste buds. Maintaining oral hygiene through regular brushing, avoiding excessive sugar and acidic foods, and staying hydrated are essential for preserving your sense of taste. 

Skin for Touch

The skin, the body’s largest organ, provides us with the sense of touch, allowing us to feel textures, temperatures, and pain. Common skin problems include acne, eczema, and skin cancer. To keep your skin healthy, maintain good hygiene, protect it from excessive sun exposure, and moisturize regularly. 

Conclusion 

Our five sense organs are indispensable to our daily lives, enriching our experiences and keeping us safe. To ensure they continue to serve us well, it’s essential to be aware of common diseases and to practice proper maintenance. Regular check-ups with healthcare professionals, adopting healthy habits, and protecting our senses from harm are all vital steps in preserving our ability to see, hear, smell, taste, and feel the world around us. Take good care of your senses, and they will continue to be your faithful companions throughout life’s journey.

Dr Jenica Yong - Living with Allergic Rhinitis in Singapore: Tips for Managing Symptoms and Reducing Allergen Exposure

Allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever, is a prevalent condition affecting many individuals in Singapore. It has symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and itching of the eyes, nose, and throat. 

Expect that there is an allergic reaction to certain substances, known as allergens, which are found in the environment. While there is no cure for allergic rhinitis, there are several strategies you can adopt to manage your symptoms and reduce exposure to allergens, allowing you to lead a more comfortable life in the vibrant city of Singapore.

IDENTIFY AND AVOID COMMON ALLERGENS:

One of the first steps in managing allergic rhinitis is to identify and avoid the allergens that trigger your symptoms. Common allergens in Singapore include pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mould spores. 

Monitor the daily pollen count, especially during high seasons, and try to stay indoors when the count is high. Use air purifiers with HEPA filters to remove allergens from the air in your home, and regularly clean your living space to reduce dust mites and mould growth.

KEEP WINDOWS CLOSED AND USE AIR CONDITIONING:

Singapore's tropical climate means that open windows can easily let allergens into your home. Keep your windows closed, especially during pollen season, and use air conditioning to keep the air inside your home clean and cool. Regularly clean and maintain your air conditioning units to prevent the buildup of allergens and ensure optimal performance.

USE NASAL IRRIGATION:

Nasal irrigation, also known as nasal rinsing or saline irrigation, can help alleviate nasal congestion and reduce the frequency of symptoms. Use a saline solution or a nasal spray to flush out allergens and irritants from your nasal passages. This simple and natural method can provide relief and improve your overall nasal health.

PRACTISE GOOD HYGIENE:

Maintaining good personal hygiene can also play a significant role in managing allergic rhinitis. Wash your hands regularly, especially after coming into contact with potential allergens, such as pets or outdoor surfaces. Shower before sleeping to remove any allergens that may have accumulated on your skin and hair throughout the day.

MANAGE YOUR STRESS LEVELS:

Stress has been known to exacerbate allergic rhinitis symptoms. Engage in stress-reducing activities such as yoga, meditation, or regular exercise to help keep your symptoms under control. Additionally, getting enough sleep and maintaining a balanced diet can contribute to overall well-being and improve your body's ability to cope with allergies.

CONSULT AN ALLERGIST OR ENT SPECIALIST:

If your symptoms persist or significantly impact your quality of life, consult an allergist or ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist. They can conduct specific allergy tests to identify triggers and provide appropriate treatment options tailored to your needs. Numerous healthcare professionals specialise in sinusitis treatment and allergic rhinitis management in Singapore.

CONSIDER IMMUNOTHERAPY:

Immunotherapy, also known as allergy shots, is a long-term treatment option for allergic rhinitis. It involves regular injections of small allergens to desensitise your immune system. This treatment can help reduce the severity of your symptoms over time and is especially beneficial if you cannot avoid your allergens.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Living with allergic rhinitis in Singapore can be challenging, but with the right strategies and support, you can effectively manage your symptoms and enjoy life to the fullest. By identifying your triggers, avoiding allergens, practising good hygiene, and seeking professional help when needed, you can significantly reduce the impact of allergic rhinitis on your daily life. Take control of your allergies today and take steps towards a healthier, symptom-free future.

Remember that if your symptoms persist or worsen, consult Dr Jenica Yong. They are a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment options.
