The word "allergy" means an altered or abnormal
tissue reaction after exposure to an antigen (also called
an "allergen"). The allergic reaction occurs if the body
tissues are sensitive to the allergen. The allergen may
reach the tissues by direct contact with the skin or
various mucous membranes of the organs or through
the bloodstream after absorption. Almost any part of
the body can be affected by allergies.
Allergic reactions are caused by a wide range of
substances and conditions. These include pollens, dust,
cosmetics, and animal hair; poisonous plants, serums,
vaccines, and drugs; physical agents such as heat, cold
and sunlight, as well as a variety of foods. The foods
that commonly cause allergic reactions are oranges,
milk,eggs, wheat, fish and other sea foods, chocolates,
tomatoes, and strawberries.

Allergic symptoms are manifested in various forms in different organs. These
include recurring headaches, migraines, dizziness, irritability, nervousness,
depression, neuralgia, conjunctivitis, eczema, hay fever, a stuffy or runny nose,
diarrhea, vomiting, asthma, shortness of breath, and swelling of the face and eyes.
The same substance can cause different symptoms in different people at different
times.
Allergy is an indication of disharmony caused by dietetic errors and a faulty style of
living. It is also caused by excessive consumption of refined and processed foods,
loaded with numerous chemical additives, many of which cause powerful reactions.
Emotional and psychological stress can also lead to allergies.
Lime Home Remedies for Allergy
lime is considered an effective remedy for any kind of allergy. Half a lime may be
squeezed in a glass of lukewarm water and sweetened with a teaspoon of honey. It
can be taken once daily first thing in the morning for several months. This remedy
not only flushes the system of toxins but also acts as an anti toxic and anti allergic
agent. However, those who are allergic to citrus fruits should not take recourse to
this remedy.
Nutrients for Allergy
Certain nutrients have been found beneficial in the prevention and treatment of
allergies. Often the intake of vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid brings great relief to the
sufferer. This vitamin may be taken in a dose of 100 mg daily for a month. In such
cases, liberal amounts of pantothenic acid helps even though the recovery takes
several weeks. A dose of 400 mg of vitamin E taken daily for four to six weeks is
also beneficial as this vitamin possesses effective anti-allergic properties.
Allergy Home Remedies with Vegetable Juices
A quantity of 500 ml carrot juice or a combination of carrot juice with beet and
cucumber juices, has been found beneficial in the treatment of allergies. In the case
of mixed juices, 100 ml each of beet and cue umber juices should be mixed with 300
mi of carrot juice to prepare 500 ml or half a litre of mixed juice. This should be
taken once daily.
Allergy Home Remedy with Bananas
One or two bananas a day are useful for those who are allergic to certain foods and
who consequently suffer from skin rashes, digestive disorders, or asthma. The fruit
does, however, cause allergic reactions in certain sensitive persons and they should
avoid it
