Protect Your Family During Wildfire Season: Tips for Healthy Living

by Functional Medicine of Idaho

Wildfire season is a challenging time for many families, as the risk of smoke inhalation and its associated health issues becomes a significant concern. Protecting your family’s health requires a proactive approach to indoor air quality and overall wellness. Here are some essential tips to keep your loved ones safe and healthy during wildfire season:

Practical Tips to Reduce Smoke Exposure

  1. Close Your Windows: Keep windows and doors closed to prevent smoke from entering your home. Use weather stripping to seal gaps and reduce smoke infiltration.
  2. Run Your Air Conditioner on Recirculation Setting: Set your air conditioner to recirculate indoor air rather than pulling in air from outside. This helps maintain a cleaner indoor environment.
  3. Increase the Use of Indoor Air Purifiers: Invest in high-quality air purifiers with HEPA filters to capture fine particulate matter from smoke. Place them in key areas such as bedrooms and living rooms.
  4. Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps keep your respiratory system moist and can assist in flushing out toxins.
  5. Diffuse Essential Oils: Lemon and citrus essential oils can help purify the air and provide a refreshing scent. Diffusing these oils can create a cleaner and more pleasant indoor atmosphere.
  6. Use Supplements for Respiratory and Detoxification Support: Certain supplements can enhance your body’s ability to handle the stress and toxins from smoke inhalation.
