Spring is here đˇ
(and these two are so ready for it)
Whatâs been helping you breathe a little easier right now?
Around this time every year, we start hearing the same thing:
âI feel so stuffyâ
âI canât breathe through my noseâ
âI guess this is just how it is for a whileâ
But it doesnât have to be.
This time of year just means your nose (your air filter) is dealing with more than usual
Pollen, dust, everything floating around outside⌠it builds up fast
A few things that genuinely help:
Rinse your nose with saline when you get in from outside
(and again at night if youâve been out all day)
Use a neti pot or saline irrigation rinse when things feel really stuck
Shower before bed
Pollen hangs out in your hair and on your skin all day
Run an air purifier at night
Keep windows closed while you sleep
If you're really stuffed up, try the Buteyko unblock your nose technique. It works.
(just be mindful if you have any underlying health concerns)
If your nose feels blocked, itâs usually just asking for a little more support right now
