Allergy Treatments

An allergy treatment is used when the diagnosis of an allergic reaction has been determined and the cause and effect has been established; avoidance is the best allergy treatment. Allergies can be commonly recognized by frequent bouts of itchy, watery eyes, sneezing, wheezing, coughing, runny nose, skin irritation, bumps or rashes. When these symptoms do not result in a cold, or flu-like symptoms, an remedy may be needed if the person has been diagnosed with having allergic reactions. Since the best remedy is avoidance, it is imperative that the allergic reaction sufferer should determine what his allergies are, and what they are allergic to in order to eliminate it, if possible, from his daily living routine. Flowers are often the culprit for people with allergic reactions. When a person is sneezing every spring because of them, there is little comfort in the Biblical references to the beauty of springtime. "The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;" (Song of Solomon 2:12)

Many treatment methods revolve around the taking of medications and vaccinations to alleviate the symptoms of various allergic reactions. Fortunately, there are other alleviation methods. These relief methods could be as easy as keeping a clean house free from mold and dust. Some people buy expensive whole house filtration systems, but they should be a last resort. Using soap and water to constantly keep the home clean is one of the most effective relief methods. Those with allergies will also want to keep the temperature in their home between 68 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit.

The humidity in the homes of people with allergic reactions should be around 40%-50%, and the homeowner should have a good ventilation system in place. Clothes washing should be done very hot, at over 130 degrees Fahrenheit to completely kill dust mites in bedding and clothing. When vacuuming, a good allergy treatment is to use a bag and a filter that is cleaned out after each use. Some doctors suggest replacing carpet in a home with hardwood floors, as that remedy eliminates over 90% of dust mites. If carpet must be used, be sure it is "low pile".

Refrain from purchasing ornate furniture with many grooves making it hard to keep clean and allowing too much dust to settle in the cracks. Also stay away of upholstered furniture or cushions on dining room chairs, etc. Keeping clothes in drawers and closets instead of on dusty furniture and floors help the person with allergies breathe easier. There are many allergy treatment methods and they should all be discussed as potential options with an allergist or physician. First the allergist must be able to determine what the allergy is from, that is the only way to avoid allergic reactions in general.
