Allergy Defense

    Seasonal allergies, often called hay fever, are symptoms that occur during specific times of the year.  This usually occurs at times when outdoor molds release their spores or when plants release tiny pollen particles into the air to fertilize other plants.  Allergies are an indication of a hypersensitive immune system and an inability to effectively metabolize histamine.  Seasonal allergies depend on what the individual is having a specific immune reaction to.  In the mid-Atlantic states, tree pollination happens between February and May.  Grass pollination happens in May – June and weeds from August – October.  Mold spores usually increase between mid-summer through the fall.  If you have stronger symptoms during one of these periods, it is an indication your body is struggling with that particular particle.   What is Allergy Defense?
