Safe Products For Allergy Sufferers

Safe Products for Allergy Sufferers

The best allergy kitchen & bathroom cleaning start with preventing reactions, and one of the most effective ways to do that is to avoid contact with the allergen responsible for your reaction. But that can be challenging with the plethora of cosmetic products marketed as “natural,” “hypoallergenic” or “fragrance-free,” with no set standards or guidelines to govern their use.

Allergies can be very disruptive, and they can affect your entire day. But you can take steps to reduce your allergic reactions by using the right cleaning and beauty products, and by creating a healthy home environment with good air quality.

Why One-Time Cleaning Is Worth It for Every Homeowner

You can also improve your allergies by taking medications to help ease symptoms. Antihistamines can relieve sneezing, itching and runny nose by blocking the release of histamine by your immune system. Examples of oral antihistamines include cetirizine (Zyrtec Allergy), fexofenadine (Allergra Allergy and Congestion) and loratadine (Claritin, Alavert). These are considered safe for daily use, but talk to your health care provider about whether they’re right for you.

Nasal sprays can also reduce congestion and inflammation in your nasal passages by blocking the release of substances that cause swelling and irritation. Examples include cromolyn sodium (Singulair) and corticosteroid nasal sprays like fluticasone propionate (Flonase Allergy Relief), budesonide (Rhinocort Allergy Relief) and triamcinolone (Nasacort Allergy 24 Hour).
