Spring allergies are no fun for anyone. Whether you are reacting to pollen in the air or dust in your home, allergies can make life difficult to manage. If you feel like allergies are getting the better of you, but you don’t want to take medication, here are some natural remedies from ingredients that many people have in their Mountlake Terrace apartments that might bring some relief.
1. Drink Apple Cider Vinegar
Do you have some apple cider vinegar in your kitchen? This is a surprising remedy for allergies. Swallowing a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar can reduce mucus production and cleanse your lymphatic system, which will reduce the impact of allergies.
2. Utilize a Neti Pot
A neti pot helps clear out the sinus cavities of gunk that can hide inside, which often includes allergens like dirt and pollen. Flushing the nasal passages will remove the mucus and some of the dirt and pollen that may make your allergies worse. While this won’t cure your allergies, it can relieve your symptoms and help you feel a little better.
3. Take a Probiotic
Allergies occur because of the immune system, and when the immune system is not balanced, your reactions to allergens become more intense. Probiotics are helpful in making your immune system respond as it should. They promote beneficial bacteria in your body that can fight some of the symptoms of allergies, helping your immune system function properly and reducing your symptoms.
4. Use the Power of Bees
Bees interact with pollen when they collect nectar from flowers to make honey. This means that honey made in your local environment contains trace amounts of pollen. Taking a tablespoon a day will teach your body’s immune system that the pollen is not a danger. You can also use bee pollen to introduce small amounts of pollen to your immune system to reduce its effect on your body. The key to effectiveness is to use honey or bee pollen from local sources.
With these natural remedies in hand, you will be ready to enjoy the outdoors. Come visit the Mountlake Terrace, WA apartments at Taluswood to enjoy amenities like a natural creek walk that make enjoying the outdoors easy.

A visit to the hot tub at your apartments in Mountlake Terrace is about more than just having fun. A dip in this swirling pool of warm, soothing water can actually rejuvenate your mind and body. You can go once a month, weekly or even daily to reap the rewards. When you commit to daily soaks in the hot tub, here are a few benefits you might enjoy.
Decreased Stress Levels
With every minute you spend soaking in the hot tub, you can feel the stress of the day melting away. The hot tub achieves this feat by relieving the tension in your body, allowing your mind to relax at the same time. As stress slips away, you can make better decisions in handling the problems you face to remain stress-free in the long run.
Relief of Muscle Pain
The jets' moving the warm water around acts as a massage of sorts to help relieve muscle pain. The pleasant water temperature also helps relieve muscle tension and reduces pain. As the water heats your muscles, more blood flows to those areas, promoting healing and keeping pain levels down for good. Unlike many pain-relief medications, you can use the hot tub on a daily basis without worry about side effects and other complications.
Boosted Sleep Quality at Your Apartments in Mountlake Terrace
With the stress relief and relaxation benefits that come with chilling in the hot tub, you also can enjoy a boost to your sleep quality. You will need to time your visits to the hot tub at your Mountlake Terrace apartments in the evening hours. The later visits can prepare your mind and body for the process of falling asleep. By the time you arrive back at your apartments, you will likely be able to fall asleep quickly and stay asleep all night long.
If you cannot easily go for a dip in the hot tub at your apartments, consider finding an upgrade that will best suit your needs. To learn more, simply call (855) 450-2838 and ask our team at Taluswood Apartments about our available floorplans.

Winter wellness is important! During the cold and flu season, many people are exposed to viruses that can keep them down and out for days. Focusing on wellness at this time of year can help you stay healthy. These four tips can help you fend off illnesses at a time when they're prevalent.
1. Wash Hands Frequently
You already wash your hands throughout the day, but in winter it's smart to wash your hands more often, especially after touching doorknobs, garbage can lids and other surfaces that are touched by other people. Keep hand sanitizer on your desk at work, in your purse or on your dresser at home. Use it frequently!
Keep lotion on hand as well. Frequent hand washing and hand sanitizer can be drying for the skin.
2. Exercise
Exercising helps your body stay strong. It also helps you keep the weight off! Establish an indoor exercise routine to help you stay fit throughout the long winter. If the building where you live has stairs, walk the stairs many times each day to exercise your leg muscles. Do extra cleaning inside to keep your body moving, and buy a pair of lightweight dumbbells that you can lift while you watch television.
If you have a dog, take your pet for extra walks on mild winter days! You'll both benefit from the extra activity.
3. Get Enough Sleep
Sleep deprivation can compromise your immune system. Most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep every night. If you're not getting enough sleep, rearrange your schedule to go to bed earlier in the evening. Not sure if you're getting enough sleep? Start tracking how much you're getting. Then, evaluate how you feel throughout the day; you should have energy!
It's helpful to know the symptoms of sleep deprivation. Symptoms include depression, forgetfulness, clumsiness, and impaired judgment.
If you suffer from insomnia, consult with your physician. Sleep deprivation can have serious long-term effects, so take care of this problem soon.
