Allergy HEPA Filter
A high-efficiency particulate air, or HEPA filter, works by forcing air through a very fine mesh trap, where pet dander, dust mites, or pollen are trapped. HEPA filters are used in air purifiers and can also be used in vacuum cleaners. It is important to use a HEPA filter in a vacuum cleaner because the particles are trapped instead of being circulated back into the room.
Allergy Saline Sprays
A saline rinse can gently wash away the pollen from your sinuses which will reduce the allergies that your body is being exposed to. Saline sprays work by moisturizing the nasal passages and reducing the inflammation of membranes. You can purchase saline sprays at any drug store, or you can make your own solution at home.
