No sinus headache today! It made a difference in a matter of hours!
I wish I had bought these years ago! I have so many allergies, my allergist MD said I had aced the skin prick test; also he said he'd hadn't had a patient like me for a long while. I'm allergic to everything outside all through the year, cats, dogs, and and dust. I started custom allergy shots, yes, plural b/c I get one in each arm at each visit. They couldn't fit all my allergen medication into one vial. I also take OTC, Rx allergy medication by mouth, nose, and eyedrops. I still suffer with frontal sinus headache due to my kids going in and out the front door several times per day. They bring in all kinds of pollen with them. I have ThearU cold masks to alleviate frontal sinus headache pain via cryotherapy, but those only provided very temporary relief. I enrolled in Botox savings program b/c I am considering getting Botox for my headaches. Yes, taking OTC pain meds also only provides temporary relief and I don't like putting that metabolizing strain on my liver and kidneys, not to mention the damage risk to my gut lining. I have a Levoit air purifier in my bedroom and I've noticed that really works to clean the air so well, the air in there smells different if I turn it on several house before bedtime. I recently thought to add air purifiers to the living room to capture those pollen spores at the source. Levoit air purfiers are expensive, so I shopped for alternatives. I found Airtok and liked they were made in America and had a 2 pack purchase option. I really liked their large room air purifier which can turn on automatically when it detects 'bad' air. But I opted for this 2 pack option b/c I wanted to put them in different areas within the living room. One is by the front door, and the other is in the opposite corner. They've been on for about 5 hours so far. The low fan setting is so very quiet, I can't hear it well. The medium fan setting produces a sound low enough I don't need to adjust the TV sound. Both settings are doing such a fantastic job, I've not had to take any OTC pain medication or use my gel masks b/c I haven't developed a headache! My daughter has commented twice now she loves the smell in the living room. I didn't use the scent pads and told her both times, that's clean air you're smelling! Now I am considering ordering two more to put them in one in each kid room, and maybe two more for the sunroom and basement. Since they have a steady-on setting, I'm wondering if I can plug the power cord into an Alexa plug. Just think of setting a routine to turn on and off the machines based on which rooms are being utilized! Set up of these Airtok air purifiers was super simple. The power cord is inside the machine so you need to twist off the bottom to get to it. Go ahead and buy the 2 pack bundle with refill filters like I did. You won't regret it! Update several months later: I'm back to buy more Airtok air purifiers for the kitchen and sun-room and I put them in family gift idea list to gift these for Christmas. Read more
