The three weeks after Halloween are when the gloves come off and most of us get serious about the holidays that loom ahead. Whether you are entertaining at home or going over the river and through the woods to grandmother's, or homes of other relatives, it's never too early to start to focus on allergy management. Doing the following 5 things will help you enjoy the season.

Say Yes To Vitamins---Giving your body the nutrients it needs by taking water soluble vitamins daily can drastically improve your physical and emotional health. These help your body to be more able to fend off infections and deal with symptoms caused by irritants.

Vitamin Stress B, C, D, E, and Coq10 will increase your stamina and overall feeling of well being. They are water soluble, and taking them consistently is the key.

If you ever skip a day you'll notice the difference in how you feel immediately. The way you feel in their absence will make a real believer out of you.

This suggestion is not meant to take the place of medical advice, so as always, consult your physician to make sure a professional thinks it's a good idea as well.

Choose Your Company---You will probably receive a ton of invitations. Consider the circumstances carefully before you accept. Consider the triggers that cause your allergies to flare and avoid gatherings where you know they will be present.

Homes with pets, smokers, and/or even an overabundance of scented candles can set you back for weeks. Flare-ups are hard at any time of the year and can be particularly stressful for you and those who love you when you are together for the holidays.

Be Prepared---Sometimes regardless of how many precautions you take, you will feel your allergy symptoms start to take control. Always travel with a "Plan B" in mind. For you that may be over-the-counter antihistamines, or a prescription prescribed by your allergist to stop symptoms before they become unmanageable.

A HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filter, several pre-filters and carbon cloth should be a part of any cleaner that is to be effective.

Filter Your Air----Even with all of the technological advances that have been made in science, one of the most reliable ways to experience allergy relief is still to avoid whatever triggers the symptoms.

Using an air purifier that can effectively eliminate airborne particles and gaseous pollutants is one of the most effective, yet non-invasive ways to help you avoid the stuff that causes flare-ups.

Filter Other People's Air---If your plans including visiting over night away from home, having an air purifier that is portable enough to travel with you is a good idea. That means that clean air is always as close as the nearest outlet wherever the holidays find you.
