What eyes can’t see, allergy sufferers can feel.

Environmental allergies are nothing but the immune response to certain triggers that a person comes in contact with either through surrounding or inhale during daily activities.

Symptoms-

  • Itchy or watery eyes
  • Runny nose
  • Chest congestion
  • Laboured breathing

Both Adults and children suffer from seasonal allergies.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN ALLERGIC RESPONSE?  

After coming in contact with triggers by means of inhalation, swallowing, or direct skin contact, the body in response starts making a protein called IgE, which grabs onto the allergen and releases histamine and other chemicals into the bloodstream which is the cause of prevailing symptoms.

The conventional way of treatment – Block the release of Histamine

Disadvantage- These drugs can cross the blood-brain barrier, causing sleepiness and sedation which actually perpetuates allergies.

However, in the case of herbal therapies, there is no effect on the brain, and it also provides shield from histamine effects. 

Treatment with the right course of herbs can offer reliable relief from seasonal/environmental allergies.
