An allergy is a type of immune reaction. Normally, the immune system responds to foreign microorganisms or particles by producing specific proteins called anti-bodies. These antibodies are capable of binding to identifying molecules, or antigens, on the foreign particle. This reaction between antibody and antigen sets off a series of chemical reactions designed to protect the body from infection. Sometimes, this same series of reactions is triggered by harmless, everyday substances such as pollen, dust, and animal danders. When this occurs, an allergy develops against the offending sub-stance (an allergen.) Can ayurvedic or herbal treatments Treat or Cure Allergy? Which herbal products or Treatment methods are available for Allergy Cure? Some Essential Oils like Peppermint oil are used in the herbal treatment of allergy. Peppermint oil can be applied on the throat, back of the neck, crown of the head and the temples for headaches. Inhaling a drop of the oil from cupped palms has been known to release tension, headaches and stuffiness within minutes. According to Ayurvedic belief, certain changes in atmosphere are the main cause of allergies. change of weather, change of place, change of water, air pollution & climates are the main causes of allergy. Allergies occur when an unchecked immune system misidentifies and attacks innocent substances in the body. Children's allergies can be the result of many factors, and it is far better to correct the cause of the problem than simply to relieve the symptoms. In the case of food allergies, the cause is most likely undigested proteins, such as those found in milk, eggs, some processed foods and even wheat. The more a child eats food to which he is allergic, the worse the allergy usually becomes. Unfortunately, the very foods that children like the most are often the ones to which they are allergic. Various herbal supplements have been used in the treatment of allergies and asthma, some showing benefit. Many medications used to treat various medical problems are derived from plants and herbs, including theophylline. Chamomile and peppermint and echinacea provides the immune system with discretion in dealing with foreign substances. You will probably not see the effects of these herbs immediately, since it usually takes time to correct food allergies, but they are safe for long-term use.
