How to Avoid the Flu Season

At ACP our wish for you is a healthy new year. And whether you’re trying to ward off catching the bug going around the school or office or you’re already feeling under the weather, we’ve got some top recommendations for finding relief.

Sinus Rinses: Nasal and sinus irrigation has been around for thousands of years and many of us probably didn’t think much about it until Dr. Oz demonstrated the Neti Pot on Oprah a while back. Using a saline sinus rinse can help flush out allergens, bacteria, mucus, viruses and more for a healthy preventative tool and for soothing relief when you’re suffering from a cold, congestion or sinusitis. 

Face Mask: A face mask can be really helpful, especially if you choose a mask such as the AllergyZone N95 mask which is certified by the Center for Disease Control and was a recommended mask for protection from SARS. If you saw Dancing with the Stars during this fall 2009 season when the celebs and dancers were coming down with the flu, they were wearing masks when practicing and none of the partners seemed to get sick. 

Humidifers and Steam Inhalers: If the cold and cough have started up, a humidifier and/or a steam inhaler will give you soothing relief for dry airway passages. A humidifier will help alleviate dryness in a room, whereas a steam inhaler can be good for personalized steam therapy to soothe the throat and help reduce congestion. Some steam inhalers include medicated pads to release menthol or eucalyptus vapors for added relief.   

Remember to wash hands frequently as the best way to ward off exposures to germs and viruses!

    Hello,

    Eyes are the most precious gift given to us by God. Without doubt we cherish them and take enough care of the. Despite being alert, sometimes due to some external factors we might develop eye allergies. Going to the doctor might not be immediately possible; therefore some home remedies are worth knowing by heart.The common symptoms for eye-allergy include regular itching, blurred vision, pain, water discharge and redness.

    Thanks

  3. Great blog! In our office, Tuttle Chiropractic, we know that getting an adjustment boosts the immune system and our patients have found that if they come in while feeling sick they get better quicker because their immune system has been stimulated. We always encourage our patients to get adjusted as much as possible at the first sign of a cold or flu to make sure that their immune system is functioning at 100% and they are able to avoid sickness.

  4. I’m impressed, I must say. Actually rarely do I encounter a blog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you’ve hit the nail on the head. Your thought is excellent; the issue is something that not enough individuals are speaking intelligently about. I’m very glad that I stumbled across this in my seek for one thing relating to this.
