Along with the flowering period comes the period of seasonal allergies. Instead of attacking pharmacies, choose a destination for rest that will not only improve or remove allergy symptoms, but also provide therapeutic support to the body with a long-lasting effect. If you still think that the only panacea for allergy sufferers is the sea, we will surprise you.

What is a non-allergic zone?

This is the name of the area, which is located at an altitude of more than 1,500 above sea level. The Carpathian direction can delight you with a variety of recreation on this border and above. Starting from the specified mark, the air is much cleaner. In such an area, ticks, dust, various feces containing allergic protein, harmful mushrooms, mold are reduced many times, and flowering changes dramatically. The air is dry and cool.

The healing properties of altitude do not end there. In just a few days, your blood circulation and heart work will improve, which positively affects the work of the whole body. An increase in erythrocytes in the blood saturates the body and brain with oxygen. This effect lasts for some time even after returning from rest. And a regular two-week rest in the Carpathian heights leads the body to stable improvement and healing. Diseases such as hay fever, chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma recede and a person feels a significant surge of strength and brain activity.

Travel hacks for allergy sufferers

People who suffer from seasonal allergies seem to freeze during spring and summer vacations, limiting visits to parks, botanical gardens, accumulation of dust and, in general, leaving the house, because the condition wants better. With our advice, you will be able to rest and feel freer in your movements.

  • If you know exactly which bloom or irritant you are allergic to, choose a vacation spot with a different plant map. In Ukraine, this is possible because the vegetation map changes in each region.
  • Check the pollen level in advance in the region where you want to relax.
  • Choose hotels with hypoallergenic policies and non-smoking rooms.
  • Find out whether animals lived in the room before you and whether the treatment was carried out.
  • Always have medicine on hand to help you quickly relieve swelling or decongest your nose.
  • Have water handy to wash off dust, pollen, and other irritants from your face (eyes, nose, and mouth).
  • If you're traveling by car, use air conditioning instead of open windows, at least until you've driven through your region.
  • If you travel by plane, take a moisturizing solution or drops, the air in the plane is very dry. Always get good health insurance before you fly.
  • If you have a food allergy, take the maximum amount of necessary products with you, and find out in advance whether you can buy something similar at the place of rest.
  • You can take a zippered dust cover with you to use in the hotel.
  • Take with you sprays, creams, gels against insect bites, especially when relaxing in nature.
  • Have an allergy medical bracelet on your arm in case of an allergy crisis.
