What if instead of medication, we can tell you about 3 plants that will keep your dreaded hayfever under control? Allergies are not a disease but a gathering of symptoms caused by a disproportionate immune system response. Your body notices a stimulus and therefore reacts to the allergen.
According to WHO, 1 in 5 people suffer at least an allergic episode in their lives. Especially in spring and late summer, when pollen, dust, insects can be especially problematic.
When a person is allergic they experience a variety of symptoms like nasal congestion, stuffed nose, sneezing, reddening of the skin, or even worse- an anaphylactic shock. This is often referred to as hayfever, and you can keep it under control naturally.
Spring allergies
Most people that suffer from allergies are more exposed during the spring when nature is blooming. This is because of the pollen, the highest allergen is at its peak.
Once the pollen particle enters the body (through nose or mouth) your antibodies cause a reaction. Histamine is released as a response to the most common allergens:
- pollen (grass, weeds, trees)
- food like peanuts, soy, lactose, eggs
- cat, dog, rabbit hair
- insects bites
- mold
- medicine
