Summer has come to an end and Fall is definitely “in the air”. For some, this means cooler temperatures, changing leaves, and all things pumpkin! However, for the thirty-something million Americans who suffer from allergies, the change in season will also bring about sneezing, sniffling, and itchy eyes, more commonly known as hay fever.
Ragweed is a sturdy annual that can produce billions of pollen grains that become airborne and can travel great distances for long periods of time. This allergen’s season is now in full effect, reeking havoc and thus being the main culprit for hay fever and other allergy symptoms. When treating allergies, most people turn to medications like antihistamines, nasal sprays, and decongestants. But those aren’t the only options available.
For those who prefer a more holistic approach, consider one of our following spa treatments:
Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy has been used for centuries to alter a person’s mood and health. Eucalyptus oil is an excellent essential oil for battling allergies. When inhaled and/or applied, the oil can be a great decongestant. Eucalyptus oil is basically a natural vapor rub. It also contains anti-viral and anti-septic properties, making it a popular choice for many home remedies.
All About Me Facial
The steam used in this treatment softens the skin and opens the pores, but is nice for soothing the sinuses as well. The light facial massage will not only feel amazing, but relieve sinus pressure, too.
Luminous Eye Treatment
The soothing gel mask combined with chilled eye pads will treat puffy eyes caused by allergies.
