Don’t let allergies ruin your life!

How do you survive allergies and enjoy a beautiful day without a runny nose or itchy eyes? That is one of the most frequently asked questions by millions of Canadians suffering from allergic rhinitis every year. BOIRON Laboratories informs and helps you choose the best homeopathic treatment for your needs. Bless you!

WHY ARE WE ALLERGIC?

Some people have increased sensitivity to substances (allergens) that can trigger an allergy. Your body identifies the allergen and fights it the same way it would fight a bacteria or a virus.

The immune system releases chemical substance called histamine which causes the allergy symptoms:

• Sneezing,
• Tingling of the nasal mucosa,
• Itchy throat,
• Wheezing,
• Eye irritation.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ALLERGENS?

Allergens have various origins:

• Food: eggs, nuts, lactose, wheat, etc.
• Environmental: dust, mould, animal hair, etc.
• Seasonal: pollens from trees, flowers, herbs, and fungal spores. Allergic rhinitis or « hay fever » is the most widespread allergy.

WHICH SEASON IS TYPICAL OF ALLERGIES?

Allergic symptoms can feel the same as cold symptoms, but if they persist and always appear during the same seasons or under the same circumstances then it can be allergic rhinitis.

The following seasonal table of pollens in Canada can help you anticipate the pollen season in your region:
