Everything you need to tackle allergy season and more.

Spring has sprung and that means the dreaded allergy season is upon us. If you suffer from seasonal allergies, put your FSA or HSA dollars to good use this month on products that will help alleviate your symptoms and have you feeling better in no time.

A common mistake with those who have FSA or HSA funds is letting money go to waste simply because they don’t realize just how much is actually eligible for coverage. In addition to typical medical expenses like co-pays for doctor’s visits and medication, many products already sitting in your Amazon cart may be covered. And in case you didn’t know, you can save your FSA/HSA card info in your Amazon profile to easily use.

So if you have FSA or HSA money to use, here are our top picks on how to spend it this month.

Vicks Personal Steam Inhaler

One of the most effective treatments for sinus congestion is steam, which helps to break up the mucus and allow it to drain out through your nose. This Vicks Personal Steam Inhaler has over 4,000 five-star ratings on Amazon. One happy reviewer shared, “10/10 recommend this product if you suffer from Acute [Sinusitis] and allergies! I have used this product for three days and I have felt a sense of relief in my nostrils. I do it right before I go to bed and it helps with my nose not getting irritated by the dry air due to the heater.”

To buy: Vicks Personal Steam Inhaler $42 (was $45); amazon.com

Tivic Health ClearUP Sinus Headache Device

If you are prone to sinus headaches, you know just how painful and debilitating they can be. The Tivic Health ClearUP Device is an all-natural, drug-free alternative to decongestants. According to the company, the device works with your body’s natural electricity by “emitting low-current electrical stimulation to the sinus nerve fibers.” The waves calm sinus nerves and shrink swollen tissue in the sinus cavity.

One Amazon reviewer who left a 5-star rating shared that they were initially “skeptical” but finally tried it for their “debilitating sinus migraines” and a month later can now say they “haven’t felt this good in year.”

To buy: Tivic Health ClearUp Sinus Headache & Decongestant Device $170; amazon.com

Breathe Right Nasal Strips

Trying to sleep when you’re congested from allergies or a cold can feel impossible, which is why we love these Breathe Right Nasal Strips. The strips work to physically open your nasal passage, allowing you to breathe easier through your nose. (They work wonders on snoring partners, as well.)

To buy: Breathe Right Nasal Strips $11 (was $17); amazon.com

Comfier Large Heating Pad for Back

If you tend to hold tension in your shoulders, this large heating pad that wraps around your neck and shoulders is perfect. It heats up fast and has an auto-shut off after 90 minutes of use. The snap design also allows you easy mobility so you can feel free to relax in comfort without needing to continuously adjust it.

iBYWM Neck Stretcher Cervical Traction Device

If you’ve found that your neck, shoulders, and upper back often hurt and feel stiff after long hours spent hunched over your computer or phone, you likely suffer from “tech neck.” According to New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Tech Neck is “the act of stressing muscles while using phones, tablets, and computers, resulting in neck and shoulder pain, stiffness, and soreness.”

Cervical traction devices such as this one work to restore the natural curve in your neck as well as relieve tension in the muscles. They’re also said to help relieve pain associated with TMJ.

To buy: iBYWM Neck Stretcher Cervical Traction Device $20 (was $30); amazon.com

Vicks Sinex Moisturizing Nasal Balm

Have you ever blown your nose so frequently while sick that your nose becomes dry and cracked? This Vicks Sinex Moisturizing Nasal Balm is designed to treat that sensitive skin around your nose with Vitamin E and aloe while the light Vicks Vapors help keep your passages clear.

To buy: Vicks Sinex Moisturizing Nasal Balm $10; amazon.com

It also won’t clog your pores, so it’s great for sensitive and acne-prone skin.
