Light up diyas instead of fireworks. They’re not just traditional and beautiful; they’re also lung-friendly. Plus, your four-legged friends will thank you for a noise-free festival.

Befriend a few air-purifying plants. Snake plants, aloe vera, and spider plants don’t just green up your space; they actively suck out the toxins.
4. The Great Indoors
Plan indoor activities! Who says Diwali fun has to be outside? Indoor treasure hunts, family karaoke, or a Diwali-themed movie marathon can be your indoor bliss.

Invest in a good air purifier. It’s like having a personal bodyguard against the air-borne thugs trying to mess with your lungs.
6. Steam Power
Inhale steam with a drop of eucalyptus oil. It’s like a spa day for your respiratory tract and can help keep your airways clear.
