What do you take to relieve symptoms of allergies?
Quoted from an online ezine article: Natural Herbs for Allergies
- Treat Allergies Without Medication by Willhelm Williams "Modern
medicine has made many advances over the years in treating allergy
symptoms. Sometimes the cure may be worse than the illness. Many
decongestants will lead to a dry mouth and a rise in blood
pressure. Antihistamines tend to make you drowsy and groggy. Are
there any natural herbs that will help treat the symptoms of
allergies without all of the unpleasant side effects? The good news
is that you can find many natural herbs for allergies that will
offer relief from your symptoms the holistic way. Natural herbs
that will actually help to prevent the symptoms rather than
treating them once they start. This can be an effective way of
managing many of the seasonal allergies that a number of people
suffer from. I have heard about antihistamines, but what are they?
Antihistamines prevent the body from producing histamines.
Histamines are a chemical by product when antibodies attack a
foreign substance in the body. For allergy suffers, the body has
mistakenly identified a benign substance to be a threat to the
body. The immune system has created an antibody to attack and
destroy this threat. Histamines create the allergy symptoms like
runny nose, watery eyes and coughing, so when your body cannot
produce as many, your symptoms are reduced as well." The above is
