To combat seasonal allergies with natural remedies it is good to start “preparing the ground”, providing nutrients and principles to stabilize those mediators that capture the allergen.

The proposals of the pharmacy of Nature against seasonal allergies

Here are the tips from Naturopathy to help relieve ailments related to seasonal allergies .

Manganese

Manganese is often associated with Copper in trace elements (Mn_Cu) and is a regulator of allergic diathesis. It acts as a catalyst, it is indicated for problems of urticaria, allergic oculorinitis, asthma . They are commercially available in single-use vials and can be taken for 3-4 months.

Omega 3

Omega 3 fatty acids are able to reduce histamine release reactions , in addition to the countless other benefits linked to the contrast of free radicals and tissue regeneration.

Omega 3s should be regularly integrated into our diet. On the market there are packs in granules, easily taken.

Ribes Nigrum

A precious phyto-element, black currant is considered a natural cortisone . It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic action, thanks to its ability to stimulate the right responses in our body. In fact, it reduces the production of immunoglobulins when the allergen is stimulated and modulates the release of histamine by mast cells.

Flavonoids

An apple a day keeps allergies away , apart from paraphrasing an ancient saying, foods rich in flavonoids , especially quercetin such as apples, onions, tomatoes, green tea, ginko biloba, are able to regulate the immune response.

Aromatherapy with its essential oils can also be a valid support to counteract the ailments caused by seasonal allergies .

Cross allergies, what are they?

Seasonal allergies: natural and non-natural antihistamines

Being aware of what happens in our body and knowing what imbalance has been created is always the first step to intervene in an intelligent and respectful way towards ourselves and our disorder.

The allergic reaction is very complex and should not be underestimated. In severe cases, specific drugs are our lifesavers!

In the periodic chronic situations we are dealing with, we can simplify the process in these terms: when an allergen ( pollen , spores, but also certain foods, etc …) comes into contact with a sensitive receptor, it passes a warning message in the connective tissue where reside mediators (mast cells) that pick up the message and in response release various substances including histamine .

Some effects are the contraction of the bronchial smooth muscles, the vasodilation, the formation of edema, the persistence of the waking state. The antihistamine acts to the rescue on histamine receptors and inhibits their activity.

The “fight” is direct and immediate between symptom and antagonist and the most evident side effects are exhaustion, difficulty concentrating and sleepiness.

Natural antihistamines, on the other hand, work on the ground , on our disposition to allergies, respecting the natural reaction times of our organism, helping it to face the encounter with the allergen in a softer way and to contain the release of histamine.

When resorting to natural cures it is important to remember that you enter the field of prevention , education for well-being, therefore the “fight” cannot be direct and immediate as it happens with the drug , but it is a preparation, made with attention, awareness and advance.

In fact, at least two months before the critical seasonality for allergies it is necessary to undertake a real prophylaxis with natural remedies with a broad spectrum of action.
