“’There have been several studies supporting that allergy seasons have now run longer with more intense and higher pollen counts due to climate change,’ said Dr. Shuba Iyngar, co-founder and chief medical officer at Allermi. ‘The rising temperatures have resulted in changes to the pollination patterns, causing more intense as well as longer symptoms for people who suffer from pollen allergies.'”
“To use a personal steam inhaler, fill the water reservoir, and power on the device. This will heat the water, producing steam. ‘The steam then passes through a mask or mouthpiece, which can be held up to your nose and mouth, allowing the warm mist to be inhaled,’ says Shuba Iyengar, MD, allergist and cofounder chief medical officer at Allermi.”
“In addition to tackling reactions in vital organs such as the heart and lungs, ‘epinephrine also prevents the release of histamine and other chemicals that are responsible for out-spiraling of an allergic reaction,’ said Dr. Shuba Iyengar, MPH, co-founder and chief medical officer at Allermi.”
“Managing asthma symptoms allows you to have an active life and also helps prevent the disease from ratcheting up and landing you in the emergency room, says allergist and immunologist Shuba Iyengar, MD, MPH, co-founder and chief medical officer of Allermi.”
“We asked two allergists to weigh in on at home testing kits versus getting tested in a doctor’s office. Neeta Odgen, MD, medical advisor for Curex, and Shuba Iyengar, MD, co-founder and chief medical officer of Allermi, weighed in on the pros and cons of in-person testing versus at-home test kits.”Â
“What if you could mitigate the effects of hay fever first thing in the morning through what you eat for breakfast? Newsweek spoke to Dr. Shuba Iyengar, co-founder and chief medical officer at Allermi, an all-in-one allergy treatment, about the ‘most important meal of the day.'”
