Allergies are one of the most common ailments. They can be caused by a large number of substances. This includes animals, house dust or dust mites, hay fever due to pollen from trees or grasses, fungi, cosmetics, chemical additives in food and feedstuffs. The substance that causes an allergy is called an allergen. Allergy manifests itself in a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing attacks, watery eyes, rash or breathing problems. Quite a bit can be done against allergies with homeopathy and nutritional supplements.
Hypersensitivity to certain substances
People are allergic if they are sensitive to certain substances, including food . In fact, this can be anything and depends on your personal condition . This often only becomes apparent if you have been exposed to an allergen for a long time. Variety is necessary to combat food allergies.
Allergic reaction in various places
In one person the skin may be sensitive, in another the mucous membranes or a certain part of the brain . Something somewhere in the body swells and becomes irritated. Various ailments can be the result of an allergy. This applies to diseases such as chronic cystitis, schizophrenia, convulsions, asthma, runny nose, unexplained fatigue, diarrhea, constipation and migraines .
Allergic food addiction
Severe withdrawal symptoms often occur with allergic food addiction . For example, someone may have a morning mood that only disappears when drinking coffee, eating an egg or smoking a cigarette. An allergy is often involved. This could be these products, but could also be something completely different such as a deodorant, shaving soap, nail polish, a sandwich, etc.
Allergic to several substances
One is never allergic to one substance. People are often allergic to plants or animals from the same families at the same time . For example, a person can be allergic to tomatoes and at the same time to potatoes and tobacco (these three belong to the same plant family).
Which food(supplements) are good against allergies?
Because stress is an important trigger of allergic reactions, it is good to take nutritional supplements that work against stress. For example, vitamin C is extremely effective in relieving allergic reactions. Vitamin C increases the effect of cortisone, has an anti-histamine effect and detoxifies the body . For example, 3 to 5 grams of vitamin C works well against hay fever and other allergies. It is even better to take vitamin C in combination with pantothenic acid . Vitamin A is also an excellent remedy because it strengthens the mucous membranes . Also take good care of your digestion so that you can better tolerate foods. So yogurt is an excellent food. This also applies to bee pollen , although some people become allergic to it. Perilla also has an allergy dispelling effect. Hay fever can be reduced by methylsulfonylmethane MSM, vitamin C, vitamin E, coltsfoot, nettle and eicosapentaenoic acid EPA . Shiitake is used against allergies and asthma. Anyone who suffers from migraines will benefit from vitamin B3 in nicotinic acid form. Take 200 mg of B3 with each attack until you get a flush. The flush makes the headache disappear . Vitamin C accelerates this process.
