ZHL Rajasthan - Keeping allergies in check during festival season
                     ZHL Rajasthan - Keeping allergies in check during 
festival season
With increased pollution levels and firecrackers during 
Diwali, there will inevitably be more smoke in the air. When 
this is combined with the oily and rich foods served at 
celebrations, many of us are bound to develop allergies. 
The use of large quantities of flowers, which can easily 
release pollen into the air and cause a variety of skin and 
respiratory allergies, is another factor that contributes to 
an increase in allergy cases during festivals.
 
One of India's top providers of healthcare services, 
Ziqitza Healthcare Ltd., lists down some home remedies for 
dealing with allergies and keeping them at bay during the 
holiday season.
Vacuum your carpets and furniture with steam
It's likely that a lot of you are cleaning your homes for Diwali. 
Cleaning for Diwali has never been easier, thanks to the abundance 
of cutting-edge tools. Cleaning the house, on the other hand, can be 
a difficult task for allergy sufferers. They are covered with a lot of tiny 
dust mites that could be the source of your allergy. Always steam 
vacuums your carpets and furniture.
For Sinus and Colds
Greasy food, puja smoke, and firecracker smoke almost 
always cause allergies. But there are some strategies you 
can use to keep them out of your home this holiday. 
According to Ziqitza, drinking herbal or lemon tea 
frequently will help to clear your sinuses and ward off the 
common cold. Both black tea and ginger tea with honey 
are great choices for easing dry coughs and chronic 
sneezing. Ziqitza Healthcare claims that doing this clears 
your throat and flushes out toxins. Steam or warm baths 
are also beneficial. Dehumidifiers reduce humidity, which 
can occasionally irritate your sinuses. Purchasing one is a 
good idea.
For Boosting Immunity
Diwali is synonymous with rich food and ghee-laden 
sweets. Ziqitza Rajasthan advises taking it easy on the 
delicacies and being mindful of what and where you eat. 
Due to its antiseptic qualities, lemon juice is 
recommended by ZHL Rajasthan to be added to salads 
and other foods. It also suggests drinking vegetable soups 
this season to stay away from calorie-laden foods and 
boost your immunity. Other seasonal foods to boost your 
immunity this season include til laddoos, nuts, bajra, and 
nachini roti, dates, lentils, and sprouts. To avoid allergies, 
Ziqitza Limited recommends flavouring our foods with 
herbs and spices such as garlic, pepper, and cinnamon.
For Skincare & Skin Breakouts
Our immunity is not the only thing that suffers during this season. Our 
skin, too, necessitates special attention. 
The experts at Ziqitza Limited Rajasthan recommend using a 
gentle face wash, body wash, and moisturiser. Using malai 
(cream) or aloe vera gel on your skin is also a good option, 
according to Ziqitza. To reduce the possibility of inflammation, 
splash rose water or cold water on your face as soon as you come 
in from outside. At Ziqitza Healthcare, we recommend always 
wearing sunscreen with at least SPF 30. 
 
This season is prone to zits and acne due to pollution and smoke. 
Ziqitza Health Care Limited recommends treating it with 
sandalwood or turmeric paste. You could also use anti-
inflammatory orange juice or papaya extract. ZHL also suggests a 
face mask made of masala dal powder, milk, and turmeric. Leave 
it on for 10 to 15 minutes before washing it off. Ziqitza 
recommends using honey as an astringent for irritated skin. 
Honey has tightening properties as well.
For Respiratory Issues
The amount of air pollution significantly increases 
during Diwali. Asthma attacks as well as allergic 
reactions in the skin, eyes, and nasal cavity are 
triggered by these high concentrations of residual 
and suspended particulate matter. According to 
Ziqitza Health Care Limited, people with bronchitis 
and asthma should take more medication during 
this time to lessen the negative effects of the dust, 
smoke, and chemicals in the air.
