What Are Allergies?

Allergies are diseases of the immune system that cause an overreaction to substances called "allergens." Allergies are grouped by the type of trigger, the season, or by what part of the body is affected. There are several different kinds of allergies:

--Indoor/Outdoor Allergies, which are also called hay fever, seasonal, perennial or nasal allergies.
--Food or Drug Allergies
--Latex Rubber Allergies
--Insect Allergies
--Skin Allergies
--Eye Allergies

What Causes Allergies?

We are all exposed to allergens each day, such as pollen, food or pet dander, and those substances can get into our bodies in various ways. If the substance entering causes a reaction, that particle is considered an allergen and we have an allergenic reaction, or “allergies”. These antigens can be introduced by being:

--Inhaled into the nose and lungs (pollens, grasses, weeds, house dust, dust mite particles, mold spores, pet dander, latex dust, etc.)
--Ingested by mouth (strawberries, shellfish, nuts, prescription meds, etc.)
--Injected (prescription meds and insect, mammal or reptile bites.)
--Absorbed through the skin (poison oak, poison ivy, sumac and latex)

Are There Natural Allergy Remedies?

Gradual exposure to small doses of specific allergens builds resistance. The body's natural defenses adapt, no longer triggering allergic reactions. For people who are health-conscious and don’t want to ingest possible toxins from over-the-counter or prescription allergy medications, there are some natural and homeopathic remedies for these allergies, such as:
