Does your Christmas tree make you sneeze or cause shortness of breath?

It’s unlikely that you are allergic to the tree itself, but the fragrance may be irritating. Some trees may also be home to microscopic mold spores that trigger asthma or allergies, causing symptoms like sneezing or an itchy nose.

Use an artificial tree or, if you must have the real thing, let the tree dry in a garage or enclosed porch for a week and give it a good shake prior to bringing it inside.

Allergy care works best when it’s personal.

Dr. Humphries breaks down the three real ways to treat allergies: identify triggers, manage symptoms, and when needed, use customized allergy shots. No chemicals, nothing scary, just natural extracts tailored to each patient. It’s a longer-term approach, but it brings long-term relief.

Allergy season isn’t just a springtime thing!
Winter allergies are real, and they can wreak havoc indoors. Here’s why:⁠
⁠
Indoor dust & mold – Closed windows trap allergens inside. Regularly clean surfaces and use an air purifier.⁠
⁠
Dry air – Heated air indoors can dry out your nasal passages, making them more sensitive to allergens. Use a humidifier to maintain moisture.⁠
⁠
Pet dander buildup – Spending more time indoors with pets means more exposure to dander. Brush your pets regularly and vacuum often.⁠
⁠
Holiday decor – That box of holiday decorations? It might be full of dust and mold. Give everything a good wipe before bringing it inside.⁠
⁠
Keep your home allergy-safe this season!
