Allergies
Allergies occur when the immune system reacts excessively to substances that are normally harmless, such as foods, pollen, dust, animal dander or environmental triggers. These substances, known as allergens, can stimulate an immune response that leads to inflammation and a wide range of symptoms affecting the skin, respiratory system, digestive system and overall wellbeing.
Allergic symptoms may include sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, skin irritation, hives, digestive discomfort, headaches or fatigue, and can vary from mild sensitivities to more significant immune reactions.
Identifying underlying triggers and supporting immune health can play an important role in reducing symptom burden and improving quality of life.
