llergies are the sign of a hyper-reactive immune system – the cause an inappropriate response to what should be inert substances in the environment. We expect our bodies to aggressively attack an invading micro-organism, for example the bacteria responsible for causing strep throat. However, when something like cat dander elicits an exaggerated sneezing, itching, eye-watering response, it is a sign that the immune system is off balance. Anti-histamine medications are the staple of conventional medicine, but did you know that there are other natural ways to prevent and treat allergies?
