Fall has come around again and at this time of year, you may be one of the many people asking how to deal with fall allergies. Float Therapy can help alleviate the discomfort of sinus pressure, reduce inflammation and decongestion, and improve breathing.

Although many people associate seasonal allergies with springtime, they can arise at other times of the year. Spring allergies are most often caused by pollen from trees or grass. However, in autumn, the most likely culprits of seasonal allergies are ragweed and mold. 

Seasonal allergies, also known as hay fever or allergic rhinitis, can affect people of all ages including:

• Adults: Around 27% of American adults suffer from seasonal allergies. 
• Children: Around 1 in 5 American children have seasonal allergies.
• Contributing health problems: People with illnesses such as eczema or asthma are more likely to suffer from seasonal allergies.

Common Triggers For Fall Seasonal Allergies

Seasonal allergies arise when the immune system reacts to usually harmless airborne substances like pollen and mold spores. Here are the most common causes of fall allergies:

• Ragweed: Ragweed is the most common cause of fall allergies. The plant creates powerful pollen, with just one plant producing up to 1 billion pollen grains. Ragweed season typically begins in early August, peaks in mid-September, and doesn’t end until early November when the temperatures drop to below freezing for a few weeks.

• Mold: Mold allergies typically begin in the fall after the first frost, when other allergens like weed pollen are less prominent. Because fallen leaves trap moisture, they create an ideal environment for mold to grow. You can be exposed to mold spores when you step outside bring damp leaves inside on your shoes, or when your pets come in from outdoors.

How Seasonal Allergies Affect Your Wellbeing

When you have an allergy to a harmless substance such as pollen or mold, your body’s response begins long before you notice any symptoms. When the allergen comes into contact with the lining of your nose, your immune system begins to produce the antibodies. Next, an army of white blood cells is deployed to counteract the allergen attack. 

Your allergy symptoms are caused by the cells trying to expel the invading allergens. These cells produce histamines, often more than is needed, which can cause symptoms such as:

• Nasal congestion

• Dry nose and throat
• Sneezing
• Runny nose
• Wheezing
• Itchy, watery eyes

Common Treatments For Fall Allergies 

So, what helps fall allergies? Several over-the-counter treatments are available for uncomfortable allergy symptoms, such as oral antihistamines, nasal steroid sprays, and saline nasal sprays. Unfortunately, many of these treatments are not meant for long-term use and often lose effectiveness after a few days. Furthermore, repeated use of decongestant nasal sprays can result in “rebound congestion,” which can worsen your symptoms.

If you suffer from fall seasonal allergies and are tired of trying different treatments with little or no success, it may be time to try something new. Floatation therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that is now available for allergic rhinitis. This therapy offers the perfect solution to combat seasonal allergies without the need for medications.
