What Causes Allergies?
Allergies occur when the immune system identifies a harmless substance as a threat, triggering inflammation and a host of symptoms. In many cases, this hypersensitivity is caused by:
- Underlying energy imbalances
- Toxic overload from environmental factors
- Weakened immunity or poor digestion
- Stress or adrenal dysfunction
Common allergens include:
- Dust, mould, pet dander
- Tree and grass pollen
- Eggs, milk, shellfish, peanuts
- Perfumes, makeup, and cleaning agents
Symptoms of Allergic Reactions
Common Allergy Symptoms:
- Runny nose and nasal congestion
- Postnasal drip and sore throat
- Itchy, burning, or watery eyes
- Coughing and chest tightness
- Headaches and fatigue
- Skin rashes or hives
- Asthma or breathing difficulties
- Ear infections
Less Obvious But Related Symptoms:
- Digestive issues like heartburn or ulcers
- Joint pain and arthritis-like symptoms
- Mood swings or hyperactivity
- Learning difficulties in children
- Irregular weight and appetite changes
- Urinary tract issues or heart palpitations
- Seizure-like responses in extreme sensitivities
