“Over 34 percent of women and around 27 percent of men in Germany suffer from allergies.” (1)
Allergies can have various causes and also manifest themselves differently from person to person. While person A may struggle with red, itchy eyes, person B may experience an asthma attack and person C may complain of a runny nose and sneezing.
If you suffer from an allergy, it is important to investigate the possible cause and eliminate it in order to to alleviate allergy symptoms in the long term. Because the good news is: allergies can disappear just as suddenly as they appeared!
Until then, OPC as an effective option for acute treatment of allergies highlighted.
OPC can help to inhibit inflammation, block histamine and reduce allergic reactions. Regardless of the cause, it is an ideal anti-histamine (2) with no side effects that you should definitely try.
But before we introduce you to the valuable effect of OPC on allergies, we would like to briefly show you how differently allergies manifest themselves and how you can get rid of your allergy in the long term without tablets.
What causes allergies and how do they manifest themselves?
Allergies are caused by a faulty immune system response to normally harmless substances called allergens. These allergens can take various forms, including Pollen, dust mites, metals, chemicals, animal poisons and animal hair or even certain Groceries (not to be confused with a food intolerance!).
Basically, any substance in our environment and food can become an allergen for us. If a person's immune system is sensitized, it mistakenly recognizes these substances as a threat and starts an excessive defense reaction.
This reaction manifests itself in a variety of unpleasant symptoms, which can range from mild to severe.
Typical symptoms of an allergy include:
- General itching
- Asthma (allergic asthma)
- runny nose (hay fever)
- Itchy and red eyes (conjunctivitis)
- Skin rash (mild rash up to neurodermatitis)
- Itching and burning in the mouth (in case of food allergies)
- gastrointestinal complaints (diarrhea, nausea)
- anaphylactic shock
If you are suffering from the symptoms listed and have not yet associated them with an allergy, then it is high time to take a closer look.
causes of allergies
The exact reasons why some people are more susceptible to allergies than others vary. Forget the classic culprits, such as environmental pollution or genetics, because you cannot influence these frequently mentioned causes.
But what you can have a lot of influence on is your Lifestyle and diet that have a significant impact on your general health and therefore your tendency to allergies.
Common allergy triggers that can affect you include:
- imbalance of good and bad bacteria in your gut
- A damaged and irritated intestinal mucosa
- nutrient deficiencies
- Excessive hygienic behavior with too much disinfection
- Unhealthy diet
- Exposure to pollutants and chemicals in the home and contaminated food
- Undetected infections
- Psychological factors / chronic stress
A holistic alternative practitioner or health and nutrition consultant can help you eliminate the cause of your allergy in the long term. With a strong body and a fit immune system, you may soon be able to say goodbye to runny nose, conjunctivitis or diarrhea.
However, it takes a little patience and perseverance until the body has regained a healthy balance. Until then (and regardless of this), we recommend that you take OPC for natural relief of your allergic reactions.
Fast, acute help with OPC
OPC (Oligomeric ProanthoCyanidins) is one of the best known and most effective antioxidantsOPC is mainly obtained from grape seeds or from the bark of certain pine species as pine bark extract.
In connection with allergies, OPC can help in several ways:
(1) Anti-inflammatory: OPC can help reduce inflammation in the body. In allergies, inflammatory reactions play an important role in causing symptoms such as skin rashes, stuffy nose and eye irritation. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, OPC can alleviate these reactions.
(2) Histamine binding: During allergic reactions, the body releases histamine, which leads to the typical symptoms such as itching, redness and swelling. OPC can help bind histamine and reduce its release, which can lead to relief of allergic symptoms.
(3) Antioxidant effect: OPC acts as a powerful antioxidant that can reduce cell damage caused by free radicals. This may help modulate the body's immune response to allergens and reduce the intensity of allergic symptoms.
(4) Strengthening the immune system: OPC can support and strengthen the immune system by reducing the production of inflammatory messengers. This can help make the immune system less sensitive to allergens.
It is important to note that the effect of OPC on allergies may vary from person to person.
