The first step, of course, is to figure out what you're allergic to. Then a step by step approach of limiting exposure to these allergens by simple avoidance can have a dramatic effect on your health.
Pollen is just the icing on the cake for a lot of people.
Often the real culprits are the year-round allergens found inside your home. Mold, animal dander, and house dust contain substances that can put our immune system into overload. A common misconception made by allergy sufferers is that if you can't avoid all allergens all of the time, there is no point trying to avoid any of them. But the truth is, breathing in these air-borne allergens is a cumulative problem. Think of your immune system as a glass.
