Hay Fever
Hay Fever

Hay fever is also known as allergic rhinitis. It is an allergic condition with hyper-sensitivity of eyes, nose, and throat and sometimes the skin. It is caused by grass and flower pollens in May and June. These and similar allergens cause the body to produce an excess of histamine which manifests as catarrh and nasal congestion.

 

Allergies are caused by an oversensitive immune system, which results in the immune system responding incorrectly to stimuli that generally would not cause a reaction, resulting in these allergy-response symptoms.

 

Plants that are generally responsible for causing hay fever include: trees, grass, flowers and ragweed.

 

When the allergens are inhaled they trigger an antibody production. These antibodies contain histamine. Histamine is the substance responsible for the allergy symtpoms.

 

Symptoms include: sneezing,  runny itchy nose and eyes and nasal congestion.

 

The most compatible and effective formula in the Fushi range is the Allergy Tincture. Its combination of herbs are specific for reducing the itchiness and sneezing, while at the same time helping to regulate the immune system's response to allergens.

 

The Bilberry Tincture is also ideal for those suffering from itchiness and redness of the eyes. Bilberry is one the most specific herbs for the eyes and it will assist in strengthening and supporting the functioning of the eyes.
