Spring is here and pollen is in the air!

Lots of patients have been suffering from seasonal allergies recently.

Today, our pollen levels are moderate in Cottonwood. You may be noticing symptoms currently if you are sensitive to juniper, mulberry or ash.

Here are a few tips from Dr. Amy to help you enjoy spring with less sneezing and sniffling:

💧 Use a humidifier - adding moisture to the dry, desert air helps dust and pollen fall to the ground so it is less likely to irritate your airways.

💨 Vacuum frequently to remove irritants from your environment.

🛏️ Change your bedding weekly. Change pillowcases a few times per week.

🌬️ Change your household air filters at least every 3 months.

🌳 Find out which pollens aggravate you to help limit exposure. Check pollen.com to see what pollens are active in your area. Then identify and try to remove the aggravating plants from your surroundings.

👃 Nasal irrigation is a great way to rinse pollen and irritants from your nose and sinuses. Try a neti pot or a Navage nasal irrigation device.

🥗 Eat nutrient dense food to supply your body with the ingredients it needs to function properly.

💦 Proper hydration will help thin mucus secretions so the mucus can be excreted from your body.

🍭 Avoid added sugars, artificial sweeteners and processed sugars. Keep eating fruits and veggies!

🥛 Dairy is a glycoprotein (sugar/lactose + protein/casein). It contains the exact ingredients your body needs to make mucus. Avoid milk if you are dealing with excess mucus.

👩‍⚕️ Schedule an appointment with Dr. Amy! There are plenty of options for natural relief of allergy symptoms. We can run tests to identify what substances are irritating you. Nutitional supplements, acupuncture and chiropractic care can help manage symptoms.

Have you been dealing with a stubborn cold, chronic cough or mucus congestion? 🤒 😷 🤧

Try a cold wet sock treatment!! 🧊 💦 🧦

“What!?! That sounds crazy!”

Hear me out ….

The wet sock treatment is an old-school hydrotherapy treatment that alters your blood flow while you sleep, providing more opportunities for your blood to filter through your organs for detoxification.

The treatment is safe for most patients, effective and unlikely to have negative side effects. Patients typically wake rested, with warm feet, dry socks and less sinus congestion.

Instructions:
🛀 Take a hot bath or shower before bed.
🧊 Soak a pair of thin cotton socks in ice water.
💦 Squeeze the excess water out of the socks and put the cold damp socks on your feet while your body is still warm from your bath or shower
🧦 Put a second pair of dry wool socks over the top of the cold wet socks. Make sure to cover the wet socks completely with the dry wool socks.
🛌 Go to bed ASAP

Here’s how it works:
🥶 Your body notices that your feet are cold, so the vessels dilate and blood flows down to your feet.
🥵 Before long, your feet warm up, the socks warm up and your body notices that your feet are getting hot. So, the vessels in your feet constrict and the blood returns to your core.
👣 Eventually your feet get chilly again and the cycle repeats.

If you want to feel better naturally, schedule an appointment with Dr. Amy at Apothedoc!
