10 Natural Ways to Beat Allergies

The relief: Go outside between 2 and 3 p.m.
Why it works: Pollen takes a siesta in the afternoon, says Haig Tcheurekdjian, M.D., associate clinical professor at Case Western Reserve University. “Pollen is released from grass in the morning, and as the day heats up, it rises high enough into the air where you won’t have any contact with it,” he says.

The relief: A run. After allergy sufferers ran for 30 minutes, their symptoms all decreased by more than 70 percent, according to new research from Thailand.
Why it works: Cardio exercise may calm inflammatory proteins in the nasal passages, researchers say.

 The relief: Make the most of rainy days.
Why it works: Right after it rains, pollen is cleared from the air, so it’s a good time to be outside, says Dr. Tcheurekdjian.

 The relief: Turn on the A.C.
Why it works: A window air conditioning unit works like an air filter, decreasing the amount of pollen indoors, says Dr. Tcheurekdjian. Crank it up if you’re working out indoors or for a few minutes every day to clear the air

The relief: Wash your sheets once a week at 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
Why it works: If dust mites have you sneezing and sniffling, know their weakness: heat. Washing your bed sheets in hot water will kill them

The relief: Freeze your favorite pillow.
Why it works: Since you’re probably not going to throw a pillow in the washer and dryer—freeze it, says Dr. Jonathan Horbal, D.O., fellow of allergy immunology at University Hospitals in Cleveland. A 12-hour dip in the freezer every 1 to 2 weeks kills the mites—and doing it regularly keeps them from coming back, he adds

The relief: Cut down on dairy for a few days.
Why it works: It’s been suggested that up to 70 percent of people can’t tolerate dairy because they’re missing the enzyme lactase, says Steven Lamm, M.D., author of No Guts, No Glory. When you have a hard time with dairy, your immune system can go into overdrive, responding worse to relatively innocuous things like pollen

The relief: Hop in a hot shower.
Why it works: Humid, moist air will reach your sinuses and slowly clear your nose, offering relief, says William Schaffner, M.D., infectious disease specialist and chair of the department of preventative medicine at Vanderbilt University

The relief: Ditch old books for an iPad.
Why it works: If mold has you sneezing and sniffling, old books could be to blame, says Dr. Horbal. Keep them out of your bedroom to save your sle

The relief: Breathe through your nose, not your mouth.
Why it works: Your nose filters incoming air, helping keep allergens out.

Sunscreen Tips!

Some important tips to remember about sunscreen now that warmer weather is here:
Dangerous ingredients: Avoid products that include oxybenzone (found in 80 percent of chemical sunscreens), which can penetrate the skin, cause allergic reactions, possibly disrupt hormones, and may have a link to a risk of endometriosis and low birth weights. And retinyl palmitate, meanwhile, a form of anti-oxidant vitamin A that has been said to slow skin aging, should be avoided because it's been found to possibly speed the development of skin tumors and lesions when applied to the skin in the presence of sunlight. Safer options block sun with low-risk ingredients such as zinc oxide, avobenzone or Mexoryl SX. Find a complete list of chemicals and their risks here.
Finally, to make sure you're truly protected when the sun's rays are at their strongest, EWG notes, don't completely rely on sun lotions; instead, when possible, wear clothes. Shirts, hats, shorts, and pants provide the best protection from UV rays—chemical-free.
