(Jangsu Wang) Our home allergy relief tip is to drink kudzu bean tea!!! When in a hurry, use Abamis Nasal Spray! And also take care of your bedding.

Rhinitis refers to inflammation of the mucous membrane inside the nose.
Rhinitis can be broadly divided into non-allergic and allergic types, with non-allergic rhinitis being...
It refers to infectious rhinitis caused by viruses or bacteria, commonly called "cold."

As a result, symptoms such as tearing, runny nose, sneezing, and itching begin.

Histamine also increases blood flow to the affected area of the antigen, which causes inflammation.

Stimulating the thin mucous membrane of the nose accelerates the immune response and produces more mucus.
It seems that nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing are getting worse.

Antihistamines are the most representative medications that alleviate the symptoms of rhinitis.

Furthermore, cases of side effects from antihistamines can be easily found.

It not only affects sleep but also influences attention deficit, arousal, and motor performance impairments.

In the long run, antihistamines don't seem to be a good option.

So we also only use nasal spray when it's really severe and try to find the underlying cause.

I also discovered kudzu root tea about 6-7 years ago and have been brewing and drinking it.

My in-laws, including my sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and nephew, all have severe rhinitis, and about 2-3 years ago, I saw them boiling and drinking kudzu root.

Job's tears contain flavonoid components, which are water-soluble constituents.

It is said that brewing and consuming it allows for more effective intake of the nutritional components of the sword bean.

Not only the seeds, but the shell of the sword bean is also rich in nutrients, so it is sliced whole without peeling and then dried.

The benefits of Job's tears tea include flavonoids and histidine components.

Flavonoids, as antioxidants, help reduce inflammation in the body, and

Histidine, an essential amino acid, is said to help manage conditions related to the nose.

A detailed look at the benefits of the sword bean

It helps with respiratory diseases.

Many recommend Job's tears tea as a good remedy for rhinitis, mainly because it contains a large amount of nutrients that boost immunity, such as various vitamins, proteins, calcium, fiber, and magnesium.

It is said to help with respiratory diseases such as sinusitis, otitis media, rhinitis, bronchitis, asthma, and suppurative conditions.

Good for arthritis or osteoporosis

Calcium contained in the sword bean helps with bone health, making it beneficial for arthritis and osteoporosis, and it also promotes growth, which is good for children in their growth stages.

- Helps with gastrointestinal diseases.

Consistent consumption of sword bean tea helps keep the stomach warm, which benefits indigestion, gastritis, stomach ulcers, enteritis, hemorrhoids, and blood circulation.

It has excellent anti-inflammatory effects that eliminate inflammation.

A protein called concanavalin A, which is abundantly contained in the seeds of the sword bean, has detoxifying and anti-tumor properties, and is said to have anti-cancer effects by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.

It is good for improving kidney function.

Hemp seed tea with detoxifying properties protects the intestines and stomach, warms the internal organs, and helps improve kidney function.

It is good for improving periodontal disease.

Globulin protein canavanine contained in sword bean has an anti-inflammatory effect, which helps improve periodontal diseases such as swollen gums or bleeding. Additionally, it is also effective in preventing bad breath.

- Good for dieting

Kudzu beans contain saponins, which help delay fat absorption and suppress weight gain.

It is good for preventing constipation.

It is rich in dietary fiber and is good for preventing constipation.

It is effective for improving vision.

Compared to regular soybeans, it is rich in vitamin A and vitamin C, which helps prevent night blindness, improve vision, strengthen immunity, and recover from fatigue.

I only knew it was good for rhinitis, but the benefits... there are so many!

Not only rhinitis but also vision improvement, gastrointestinal diseases... being able to alleviate some of the illnesses our family members have!

I resolve to drink more consistently.

There are also disadvantages, so you should never consume it blindly.

People with high body heat and high blood pressure may experience side effects.

People with weak intestines should avoid it, and eating it raw is strictly prohibited.

And when eating the jujube bean itself in moderation, it should be limited to fewer than 10 pieces.

And because of its diuretic effect, it may cause frequent urination.

Instead of drinking water, you should drink about one or two cups of sword bean tea a day and also consume a bit more water.

The photo below shows whole sliced and dried jicama pod shells.

I roasted this job's bean shell 4-5 times in a frying pan (they said it's not called roasting but "deok"ing the shell).

Brew in boiling water, let it cool, then put it in the refrigerator.

They heat it in the microwave to drink it warm or cold.

 

 

This is really hard to endure, but I found it and bought a jagged bean tea bag to drink conveniently.

Inside the tea bag, roasted kidney bean pods are finely ground so they can be easily brewed and enjoyed.

I also bring it to the company and try to drink it once a day.

 

While drinking job's tears tea, my son, who used to sniffle and struggle every morning, has definitely improved.

Both the groom and I have experienced fewer episodes of difficulty due to rhinitis compared to the past.

 

 

And the second...

 

My husband, myself, and our son all definitely struggle every morning with sniffing and sneezing while drinking job's tears tea.

Although the symptoms of rhinitis have improved, during spring when fine dust or pollen levels are high,

My allergy rhinitis symptoms have worsened and are very distressing...

In situations like this, I inevitably rely on Avamis nasal spray containing steroid ingredients.

This is a nasal spray for rhinitis that can be used by children aged 2 years and older up to adults.

It is a medication that treats seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis symptoms.

Still, knowing the side effects of steroids... I only apply them when the symptoms are really severe~~

When it's severe, twice a day—morning and evening. When it's milder, just before bed in the evening.

In the case of my son, if it gets severe, he goes to the hospital to get a prescription for his rhinitis medication.

You need to spray this morning and evening for it to settle down.

In pediatrics, it is also recommended to apply consistently for about a month during severe spring seasons.

If you have severe rhinitis and don't take the medication because it's strong, it's said that it will be even worse.

When it's really severe, you need to take medication to sleep well and maintain focus during the day.

Prevention of the root cause is prioritized as much as possible, but depending on the symptoms, consultation with a doctor and medication prescription may also be necessary.

 

 

And third!!

Wash bedding once a week~ Pillowcases must be washed once a week!

I try to wash the bedding at least once every two weeks.

 

 

I have also posted an article.

The proportion of allergic rhinitis caused by house dust mites has increased.

Comparing the characteristics of domestic allergic rhinitis patients over approximately 10 years

Patients who have the allergen of a type of house dust mite called Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus.

It is said that it increased from 63% ten years ago to 73% ten years later.

The proportion of people with house dust mite antigens has significantly increased in recent years compared to 20 years ago.

Patients with the allergen of the major house dust mite, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, account for approximately 63% to 73%.

The large leg dust mite has increased from about 67% to 70%.

Additionally, the proportion of patients caused by indoor allergens such as cockroaches, yeast mold, and other indoor dust mites.

It is said to have increased by more than three times.

 

The reason why house dust mites have become more resilient is because indoor living has become more common.

As indoor lifestyles become more common

Carpets, fabric sofas, beds, and other household items have become environments where dust mites can easily thrive.

 

For patients with allergic rhinitis, it is said that "cleaning and laundry are the most important."

Especially for severe patients, it is better not to use futons or carpets.

Bedding is also a major habitat for house dust mites, so it is recommended to wash it frequently.

It is generally known that household bedding is inhabited by more than 10,000 house dust mites.ㅠㅠ

It's terrible, isn't it?

 

The Korean Atopic Dermatitis Society suggests ways to prevent dust mites from occurring.

Maintain indoor temperature at 20°C and humidity below 50%.

Refrain from using carpets, sofas, blankets, and similar items.

▲It is recommended to regularly wipe furniture and floors with a damp cloth.

 

To eliminate existing house dust mites, wash bedding at a temperature above 55°C once a week.

It is said that house dust mites die off, and their bodies and excretions also disappear.

Changing pillow covers frequently is also important.

There is also research indicating that pillows have the highest amount of house dust mites.

 

So, try to do laundry as often as possible once a week!

Since I am a busy working mom, I try to do laundry at least once every two weeks.

At least I have a dryer~ I'm so relieved. Haha

 

 

Our home's tips to get rid of rhinitis!

 

1. Drinking Job's tears tea~

Use Ambis nasal spray in severe cases.

3. Clean the bedding every week~

 

I want to gradually escape from the exhausting hay fever by consistently and diligently trying.
