13 Ways to Stop Allergies Immediately With Home Remedies
Pollen, grass, mold, cedar, ragweed, and even some chemicals are inhaled as airborne agents (also known as pathogens or allergens). When allergens enter our bodies, they begin to cause havoc. The immune system misidentifies pollen as a threat and produces antibodies that target the allergens, causing histamine to be released into the nose, eyes, and lungs. Histamine is designed to fight and eliminate toxic substances from the body. Histamine causes inflammation as one of its principal effects.
