If you’ve noticed your allergies lasting longer or feeling more intense, you’re not imagining it. Across Australia (and globally), climate shifts are extending pollen seasons and amplifying allergen levels making nasal congestion, sinus irritation, and dryness more common than ever.
As temperatures rise, plants release pollen earlier and for longer periods. Combined with dry air and pollution, this creates a perfect storm for nasal inflammation and fatigue. For many professionals, that means disrupted sleep, brain fog, and reduced daily focus subtle signs that start with the nose.
Your nasal passages are your body’s first line of defense, filtering the air you breathe and regulating humidity and temperature. When they’re inflamed, everything from your mood to your energy can be affected.
So what can you do?
- Protect your nasal passages with gentle cleansing using sterile or distilled water.
- Soothe dryness or irritation with nasal barrier creams or hydration sprays.
- Monitor local air quality and reduce outdoor exposure during high-pollen or high-smoke days.
- Support recovery at night with humidifiers or breathing rituals that promote nasal flow.
At Nadu, we believe nasal health is frontline health especially in a changing climate.
By caring for how we breathe, we care for how we live, think, and connect.
