Do air purifiers actually work for allergies?

In this episode of Allergy Actually, your bestie allergist moms – Dr. Kara Wada, Dr. Amber Patterson, and Dr. Meagan Shepherd – dive into the world of portable, in-home air purification.

Learn why they are particularly helpful for airborne allergens like pollen, mold, and pet dander, but less so for heavy allergens like dust mites. The doctors also share their preferred air purifier brand, Molekule, explaining its advanced PECO technology and user-friendly features.
