Lhasa Apsos can be described as exotic, elegant, and serenely well-balanced. The lavishly coated Lhasa Apso is a thousand-year-old breed that served as sentinels at palaces and monasteries isolated high in the Himalayas. Smart, confident, and complex, Lhasas are family comedians but regally aloof with strangers.

Standing less than a foot high at the shoulder, Lhasas are small but hardy dogs of aristocratic bearing. They are famous for their gorgeous coats that can grow long enough to reach the floor. If you do decide to keep their coat long, they'll need baths at least every two weeks, and plenty of brushing in between!

Fun fact: The original name of the Lhasa was Abso Seng Kye, the "Bark Lion Sentinel Dog."

Make sure to talk with Dr. Aminian to see if this can be an option for you!

November in Fresno brings cooler weather, fall leaves, and the start of the holiday season. However, it can also bring new allergy and asthma triggers. As we head indoors and prepare for gatherings, it’s important to stay mindful of what might affect your symptoms.

Dr. Aminian shares a few tips to help you breathe easier this month:
🍁 Mold and leaf piles go hand in hand. Raking leaves can stir up mold spores and dust. Wear a mask and gloves, and shower after yard work.
🏠 Indoor allergens increase. As windows stay shut, dust mites, pet dander, and indoor mold can build up. Use HEPA filters and clean regularly to keep air quality in check.
🕯 Holiday scents can irritate airways. Scented candles, wood-burning fireplaces, and potpourri may trigger asthma or allergies. Stick to unscented products when possible.
🍽 Be mindful of food allergens. Holiday meals may contain hidden ingredients. If you or your child has food allergies, communicate clearly with hosts and bring safe options.

If seasonal changes are impacting your symptoms, schedule a visit with Dr. Aminian to stay ahead of fall and winter flares.

Halloween should be fun for everyone, including teens with allergies or asthma. A little prep can go a long way in keeping things safe. Here are four quick tips:

1. Steer Clear of Smoke - Smoke from fog machines, bonfires, or vapes can trigger asthma. Encourage your teen to avoid it and keep their inhaler handy.
2. Bring Safe Treats - Candy without labels can be risky. Pack allergy-friendly treats or host a party with safe snacks.
3. Watch Costumes and Makeup - Some face paints and materials contain allergens. Choose hypoallergenic options and avoid latex if needed.
4. Be Ready - Make sure your teen carries their inhaler and epinephrine if needed. A charged phone and informed friends help too.

Final Tip - If allergies or asthma are making Halloween stressful, we’re here to help. Contact Dr. Aminian’s office to update your teen’s care plan.

For many, allergies and asthma aren't just physical conditions. They can take a real toll on mental health, too. Chronic allergic diseases like atopic dermatitis, food allergies, and asthma can lead to anxiety, depression, and emotional strain.

Dr. Aminian encourages patients and families to recognize that managing allergies and asthma means addressing both physical and emotional well-being. Here are some insights found and published from the ACAAI’s scientific journal:

🧠 Atopic dermatitis can lead to depression and anxiety due to sleep loss, social stigma and isolation. Open conversations with your allergist can help.
🌍 Asthma care should include environmental and behavioral factors, especially in communities facing health disparities.
🍽 Exposure therapy techniques, like in-office proximity challenges, may reduce food allergy anxiety.

If you or your child is feeling overwhelmed by allergy or asthma symptoms, support is available. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Aminian to talk about your full health picture, mind, and body.

October brings cooler mornings, harvest festivals, and Halloween fun, but it can also mean trouble for allergy and asthma sufferers here in the Central Valley. As air quality dips and mold spores rise, fall can bring on symptoms for some individuals.

Dr. Aminian shares a few key tips to help you stay well this October:
🎃 Watch out for mold. Damp leaves, hay bales, and outdoor decorations like pumpkins can harbor mold, which is a strong fall allergen. Wear a mask while decorating or raking, and wash up afterward.
🔥 Spare the Air days are common. Cooler temps mean more fireplaces and poorer air quality. Check daily AQI reports and limit outdoor activity when pollution levels are high.
👻 Costumes can cause flares. Some costumes use irritating fabrics or latex. Check labels and pre-wash costumes and masks to reduce exposure to potential allergens.
🌾 Harvest season means more dust. Fresno’s ag activity kicks up dust and pollen. Keep windows closed and use a HEPA filter indoors to reduce airborne irritants.

If allergy or asthma symptoms are creeping in this season, schedule a visit with Dr. Aminian for relief that lasts beyond Halloween.

September signals back-to-school season and the official start of fall, but it can also bring a wave of allergy and asthma flares. As the weather shifts and routines change, it's essential to stay ahead of common triggers that can make this month challenging for individuals with allergies and asthma.

Dr. Aminian shares these helpful tips to keep you breathing easy this September:
🍂 Ragweed is in the air. Ragweed pollen peaks in September and is one of the most common triggers for fall allergies. Keep windows closed on high-pollen days and rinse off after spending time outdoors.
📚 Back-to-school allergies. Dust mites, classroom pets, and chalk dust can all spark symptoms. Make sure children have updated allergy and asthma action plans in place and medications ready to go.
🏈 Asthma and fall sports. Cooler air and increased activity can lead to flare-ups. Use a rescue inhaler as directed before physical activity and let coaches know about your child’s asthma.
🕯 Fall scents can irritate. Candles, air fresheners, and even pumpkin-scented cleaners may trigger symptoms. Choose unscented or hypoallergenic options whenever possible.

If fall allergies or asthma are interfering with your daily life, schedule an appointment with Dr. Aminian to get back on track with a personalized treatment plan.
