Why nasal health should be a priority this season
The holiday season is often painted as the most joyful time of the year - but for millions, it’s also the sneeziest. From artificial trees to scented candles, our festive traditions can create an unexpected storm for nasal health.
What many people don’t realise is that holiday allergies are just as real as spring allergies. Winter environments introduce triggers such as:
✔ Dust from stored decorations
✔ Mold from real trees and wreaths
✔ Dry indoor heating
✔ Holiday fragrances (yes - your cinnamon candle might be guilty)
When nasal passages dry out or become inflamed, we’re more susceptible not only to allergies but also to seasonal viruses circulating at gatherings and travel hotspots.
How to protect your nasal health:
- Keep nasal passages moisturized with saline spray or rinses
- Clean stored holiday decor before bringing them inside
- Use humidifiers to combat dry indoor air
- Be mindful of fragrance sensitivity in shared spaces
Good nasal health isn’t just about comfort - it's about supporting your immune system during one of the busiest social seasons of the year.
If you want to breathe easier during the holidays, consider making nasal care part of your wellness routine. Your nose might just thank you.
