I hate being a baby about this as many are facing it far worse now
Anyone know of herbs or remedies for smoke?
Especially for feline friends. We are stuck in unsafe breathing elements. 2 air purifiers and fans are all we have to clear it but the taste is vile.
I feel bad for my boys and all babes right now. These guys are wonderful but they aren't complainers so I wouldn't know. Now they are watching tropical birds, to relax them o tv. They are very healthy but if us 2 leggers can taste the fire, I feel horrible for our poor 4 legged friends. And also the winged ones. I'm so disheartened for our neighborhood who has birds.

I have a headache that is relentless. :/

For you and the taste in mouth, try brushing your teeth several times a day. And stay hydrated. Keep some flavorful gum in your mouth. Could even keep a mask on, in the home, to help further filter your own mouth's air.

The animals are probably doing fine (re taste in the mouth).

awww. Poor little birdies and their tiny lungs!! They probably benefit from being around the air-flows an air-filters. So sweet that your Critters are symbolically "watching" TV scenes of birds/creatures with clean air??? ha. awww.

I thought you could place drops of essential oil on your filters/fans-- BUT no, because once you apply it, you're stuck with it if that particular scent doesn't happen to mix well with the smoke-smell in the air. Has to blend with it.. make a good-match.

Some strong-scented candles {from metaphysical shops} would probably help change or disguise the smells?-- but be careful of your health using those.
e.g.
Sweetgrass smells great, but can also exacerbate/irritate lung-lining sensitivities you could have, even if used in larger (but enclosed) areas.

If you're into it, take supplements that help support the function of mucous lining in your lungs/sinuses?
.. Be careful with extra Vitamin E though, because that can 'mess' with your blood pressure (if tendency is to go 'low' BP), and, Vit E and A are 'not' water soluble in body (can go toxic after a certain point).

Maybe try steaming face? Breathing in moister air into your mouth and nasal passages, if it helps wet and move that smoke-taste along. A little Eucalyptus?

Energetically/spiritually -- Imagine that whole geographic area being 'cleansed'-- The purification of vibrations using the tool of prevailing Fires right now. Even as though it is a huge 'ritual-smudging' of the west coast.

Fire .. There have been all those property-destroyers and looters who came to attach selves to the BLM-protests; while policing troops there also agitating the Fires of HATE energies... Funnel those energies of negativity-- those demonic agents of agitations and DESTRUCTION, directed spiritually TO these fires. Whatever is Not 'peaceful'-- energetically has to leave.

Energetically.. try telepathically directing {i.e. pray} the negative-spirits in the air be swept up to throw themselves INTO the purification-Fires; {fires made into sacred-element and higher nature-entities by your inner powerful call and direction, using the rudder of intentions by mind/heart}.

Stay Safe!

Again,,,,, this is only 'an idea' to explore.

Do your own research.
Lots of youtubes on use of herbs, for humans AND animals.
Careful about any kinds of toxicity.

The idea of adding herbs to water, or even of taking drops into your mouth, is to help change the 'taste' and/or bring health-support to your mucous membranes-- nose throat lungs.

I read quickly your first response. Need to read more thoroughly. I do so very much appreciate your kind advice Mirage.
My eyes tire so quickly. Otherwise I could be more timely. The index is over 500 and the purifier we last bought was delivered. The coworkers around my hubby eagerly asked sbout it. He doesn't know them well.
This is like MadMax but not with gas.
Sorry, went off in tangent . I'll better respond once I read your messages. 🌸💓🌸

*Eyes are drowsy*

Chanterelle, thank you.
  Excellent advice too.
I hope to not need to worry of this again but I'll
keep this under hat if needed.

 I'm not as clear as I'd like and happen to have
chamomile,  I'm brewing some now. Mint helped me through this. Kits loved the c.nip.
Broadleaf plantain, wonder if that's the leaf from plantains?  It's good to have all of this on hand.  I'll
see where they can be obtained. 

  My boys are playing and happy.  This place needs a good vacuuming, my sinuses too. lol
A lot to do here. Never dull moment in 2020.

.. .. ..

It slipped my mind, sorry this is a haze to the mental powers. Doing my best.

Maybe try dissolving the baking soda in vinegar, then adding some liquid soap? That’s what a neighbor taught me when my dog got sprayed by a skunk. Not so much a spray-around-the-room thing, but like a pre-wash treatment for clothes, sheets, etc. about an hour before putting them in the washing machine.

Thank you Chanterelle. ♡
That's great idea. I will try that out if I have this occur again. Although I strongly hope it won't .

That's good info PhoenixRising. thank you! Wish I had known that before my neighbor had to leave. Our area was terribly effected by these smokes.
