Allergies

The word allergy is derived from the Greek words "allos" meaning ‘other than’ and "ergon" meaning ‘reaction’.
An allergy is caused when our body reacts violently (sneezing, coughing, congestion, headaches and rashes) when it comes into contact with an allergen (pollen, dust, pollution, etc)
For example, if dust causes your system to overreact then it is said you have a dust allergy.
SinusWars has produced an amazing natural product – SinusWars1 that can be used for both the treatment and prevention of allergies to molds, dust, pet hairs and pollen. It also helps by strengthening the immune system against future allergy attacks.

How does the immune system work?

Our immune system is usually a well-trained biological warfare unit for the body. The immune system is able to identify and destroy many foreign invaders, as well as cells that are infected with viruses.
The immune system sometimes overreacts to allergen which results in a hypersensitive immune system. When this happens the immune system misidentifies a harmless substance as harmful, and then attacks the substance with ferocity far greater than required resulting in inflammation and swelling of the nasal passages and the airways. This is the reason why allergies are referred to as an immune system disorder; it raises a defense against harmless intruders.
It is usually difficult to tell the difference between a cold and an allergy attack, due to the symptoms can be very similar in nature. If your symptoms persist for more than 2 weeks, you may have allergies.
General symptoms:

Although allergies can mimic almost any sickness, the following symptoms may still represent some form of an allergic reaction. If you or your child experience a combination of the following symptoms, you might have allergies:
- Nasal congestion
- Itching
- Sneezing
- A runny nose
- Headaches
- Coughing and wheezing
- Congestion
- Dizziness
- Itchy, scaly rashes and hives
- Sensitivity to certain chemicals, perfumes and paints
Don't wait or expect these symptoms to vanish. See your physician for a proper diagnosis.
Common Allergens

Some of the common allergens include -
- Dust mites (tiny insects that live in dust)
- A protein found in the dander (dry skin human/pets)
- Pollen (grass, flower and Tree)
- Mold and mildew
- Foods (milk, wheat, soy, eggs, nuts, seafood, peas, beans and peanuts)
Although most of us may be born with a genetic susceptibility which can be traced back to your parents, we are not automatically allergic to certain allergens. There are several factors that may result in allergic sensitivity -
- The specific inherent biological genes.
- The exposure to one or more allergens to which you have a genetically programmed response.
- The extent and degree of exposure.
While most risk factors for allergies are out of your control, it is possible to reduce your allergy symptoms by limiting your exposure to known allergens. A healthy lifestyle and exercise can further strengthen the immune system and help avoid unwanted reactions.
