5 Ways to Avoid Monsoon Allergies Monsoon season brings relief from the scorching summer heat, but it also ushers in a host of allergies that can affect your health and well-being. Increased humidity and moisture during the rainy season create a perfect breeding ground for mold, dust mites, and other allergens. Here are five effective ways to keep monsoon allergies at bay, inspired by the advice from Dr. Yogesh Chavan, MD (Ayu. Kerala), from Ayushman Bhava Ayurveda Panchkarma Clinic in Nashik. 1. Dust & Clean Your Home Frequently Maintaining a clean home is crucial during the monsoon. Dust and allergens accumulate more easily in damp environments, so make it a point to dust and clean your home regularly. Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to trap dust mites and other allergens effectively. 2. Avoid Using Carpets or Rugs in Moisture-Prone Areas Carpets and rugs tend to absorb moisture, creating an ideal environment for mold and mildew to thrive. In areas prone to moisture, it's best to avoid using carpets or rugs. Opt for easily washable floor mats or area rugs that can be cleaned and dried quickly. 3. Take a Shower After Spending Time Outdoors After being outdoors, especially on rainy days, take a shower to wash away any allergens that may have clung to your skin or hair. This simple practice can prevent the spread of allergens inside your home and reduce your risk of allergic reactions. 4. Keep Windows & Doors Shut During Windy Days Windy days can carry pollen and other allergens into your home. To minimize exposure, keep windows and doors shut during such weather conditions. Use air conditioning or dehumidifiers to maintain a comfortable indoor environment without inviting allergens inside. 5. Change Out of Wet Clothes Immediately Wearing wet clothes for extended periods can lead to skin irritation and provide a breeding ground for fungi and bacteria. As soon as you come home after getting wet in the rain, change out of your wet clothes immediately and take a warm shower to stay clean and dry. Implementing these practical tips can significantly reduce the chances of experiencing monsoon allergies and help you enjoy the rainy season without discomfort.
