Proana Allergies - Tumblr Posts

Anas with allergies

This is my first real post so I hope it's ok!

If you're like me and get really congested during winter, you feel like crap for most of the day and don't want to do anything. Short of allergy medication, here are a few ways to get through this cozy congestion season we call winter!

-Hot Tea: if you're already drinking 3 or 4 glasses of green tea a day like me, heat it up! Hot tea breaks up the mucus and soothes your throat.

-Hot Soup: like the tea, it breaks up mucus and soothes the throat while also acting as a low cal meal. There are tons and tons of low cal soup or broth recipes here on Tumblr so find one you like and go for it!

-Shower (also baths): taking a warm to hot shower breaks up the mucus and allows you to breathe much better. So treat yourself to a luxurious shower and take time to do a long hair washing, body scrub, etc.

My dad is a retired physician so I always do this stuff in tandem with allergy and anti-congestion medicine, but these work pretty well on their own. And honestly these practices also make me feel like I have a more Autumn or Winter cozy vibe.

Have a great day and fight those allergies!

(also stay very far away from any kind of dairy, it thickens the mucus and will make you feel worse!)
