SEASONAL ALLERGIES & HOMEOPATHY

SEASONAL ALLERGIES ON THE RISE IN CANADA & ABROAD
Allergic or seasonal rhinitis was once known as hay fever because farmers would develop an allergic reaction during haying season. Today it refers to a collection of symptoms that are caused by all kinds of pollens.
Seasonal rhinitis usually starts in the Spring – February on the Canadian West coast & early April in Eastern Canada – when plants first bloom, and runs through autumn until frost:
•    Trees primarily pollinate in the spring
•    Grasses pollinate in the spring and summer
•    Ragweed in late summer and run until the first frost
Recent surveys show that eight million Canadians compare to five million in 2004 will manifest allergic rhinitis (AR)^1,2,3.
Seasonal allergies are on the rise worldwide and many experts suspect this growing epidemic has several potential explanations. They think that our sanitation methods and widespread use of antibiotics have reduced the childhood exposures to the various gut bacteria and flora proven to be critical to immune system development^4,5.

ANATOMY OF AN ALLERGY: HOW THEY WORK
Like the people who suffer from them, every allergic reaction is unique. A substance that is harmless for one person may provoke an allergic reaction in somebody else; to “protect” the body, the immune system produces IgE (or immunoglobulin E) antibodies to that allergen.
Those antibodies then cause certain cells in the body to release histamine, which affects the eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and/or gastrointestinal tract and causes the symptoms of the allergic reaction. Future exposure will trigger a response: every time the allergic person comes into contact with that allergen, an allergic reaction will follow.

SNEEZE AWAY YOUR ALLERGIES WITH HOMEOPATHY
Homeopathic medicines are a solution to treat allergies that provide effective relief without causing drowsiness.
