Allergy, Iching, Nasal Congestion, Natural Anti-Histamine

An allergic reaction is a process of inflammation caused by a disorder of the immune system. The body comes in contact with a substance (an allergen) that it perceives as harmful—even though it is harmless. The body releases histamine in an attempt to fight the allergen and it is the histamine that triggers the symptoms common to allergies: inflammation, sneezing, runny nose and itchy eyes.

The body releases histamine in an attempt to fight allergens (non-harmful items viewed by the body as harmful) and it is the histamine that triggers the symptoms common to allergies (sniffles, sneezing, rashes, hives, sinus congestion, etc).

Many individuals suffer from allergies caused by a hypersensitivity reaction of the immune system to certain allergens in the environment. Some common allergens which trigger this reaction are dust, pollen, pet hair, bee stings, and certain foods. When these antigens enter the body, the immune system tends to overreact and antibodies quickly cause the release of histamine, which results in an allergic reaction. These reactions differ in severity and may include itchiness, hives, rhinitis, and in more serious allergies, swelling of mucous membranes such as in the nose and throat, leading to potential difficulties and anaphylaxis.

The immune system is an immensely complicated and intricate system, and like all systems in the body, it needs to be in top condition to perform optimally. For our immune systems to flourish, we need to ensure that we care for both our physical and emotional health-- therefore it is essential that we adopt the necessary lifestyle, nutritional and hygiene changes that help our bodies to function at optimum levels.

There are a number of ways to support the immune system and to ensure that it remains balanced, while protecting the body against invading organisms-- yet not becoming overactive. Regular exercise, sufficient sleep, a healthy balanced diet, stress management and good hygiene habits (such as regular hand washing) are all recommended. In addition, there are many herbal and homeopathic remedies that have been shown to have a very positive effect on immune system health while maintaining balance between body systems.

It is easy to spot an individual with a healthy, balanced immune system. Clear shining eyes, easy breathing, glowing skin and healthy energy levels all point toward an immune system that is working well.
