Allergies are the immune system's exaggerated response to a
foreign substance.
Exposure to what is normally a harmless substance, such as
pollen, causes the immune system to react as if the substance is
harmful. Substances that cause allergies are called allergens.
Obtaining natural allergy relief and allergy cures by taking
herbs and vitamins are the best route to take without incurring
side effects.
Environmental elements such as dust, pollen, and mold
seep into your sinuses.
Your body perceives these substances as harmful and reacts by
producing histamines.
These histamines come in the form of itching eyes and an
itching, runny nose.
One of the most common sinus allergy afflictions is due to
hay fever and ragweed. Hay fever is an allergic reaction
to your environment.
Hay fever is a chronic condition characterized by sneezing,
nasal congestion, runny and itching nose, ears and eyes.
Doctors call it allergic rhinitis.
Most people know it as hay fever and if you've got it - - as
22 million Americans do - - you're likely to be plagued
during the spring and fall seasons by such annoying symptoms
as sneezing, congestion, runny nose, itchy throat and red,
watery eyes.
Hay fever is basically an allergic reaction to pollens from
trees, weed and grasses.
Unlike garden flower pollen, which is carried by insects, the
dry lightweight pollens which cause allergic rhinitis are
generally spread by wind currents which make them difficult to
avoid.
Signs and Symptoms of Hay Fever :
* Itchy, red eyes
* Clear discharge from the nose and eyes
* Sneezing
* Fatigue
* Nervousness, irritability
* Sleep loss
Nutritional Supplementation for allergy cures:
* Quercetin stabilizes the membranes of the cells that release
histamine. * Echinacea is a natural health remedy to boost the
immune system.
* Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory. Take daily, or as
needed for symptoms.
*Placing sliced cucumbers on the eyes will help relieve red,
itchy eyes.
*Nettle leaf reduces tissue swelling.
* A steam inhalation treatment of basil, peppermint, eucalyptus,
or pine can help ease congestion.
* Tiger Balm (available in most stores) contains a blend of
beneficial herbs in a wax base. Apply liberally to the chest and
neck to help alleviate nasal congestion.
General Recommendations:
* Stay indoors as much as possible during the "allergy season."
Keep windows shut and use the air-conditioner when possible.
Especially avoid going outdoors in the afternoon, as this is
when allergens are at their worst.
* Avoid tobacco smoke.
*Shower and change when you come indoors after spending time
outside. Pollen can stick to your hair and clothing.
* Keep pets either inside or outside.
* Try using an air purifier and filter in your home. Make sure
and keep the filters to your heater/air conditioner clean (or
replace them regularly).
* A study at the University of California-Davis found that
eating yogurt every day significantly reduced the incidence of
hay fever attacks.
