Our hearts are with those impacted by the fires. 💜
There are many simple ways to support your body during these smoky times.
🔥Staying well hydrated - helps your body process the exposure with more ease
🔥Keeping windows closed - helps reduce overall exposure, even better if you have an air filter or a DIY air filter running indoors
🔥Breath through your nose if or when you can - this is your bodies natural air filter
🔥Eye and sinus rinses - neti pots, saline rinses, saline drops all options, this helps keep the mucous membranes exposed to smoke less impacted by the exposure
If your body needs more support or feels extra sensitive to the smoke there are other treatments like anti-oxidant supplements (Vitamin C, NAC, Glutathione) and things like nebulized glutathione to support the lungs directly.
Recognize this familiar face nebulizing glutathione? Glutathione is the master antioxidant for the body that helps lungs heal and process exposures such as smoke. At OCH we offer this treatment in house and also can prescribe this for home use if this is the right treatment for you. Great for smoke, viral respiratory illness and other conditions. Its even being studied for firefighters as a way to recover from chronic smoke exposure! Ask your OCH provider if this may be a helpful addition to your plan.
We are here for support to navigate these times together.
