020. Natural treatments : allergies
Allergies are not just simple physical reactions; they are signals through which our body tells us it has encountered something it cannot process correctly. Whether it's food, dust, certain medications, or environmental factors, the body enters a state of 'high alert.' This defense, unfortunately, translates into moments of profound discomfort: from skin irritations and unbearable itching (pruritus) to swelling or respiratory difficulties.
Some species of medicinal plants or teas improve the symptoms of the disease, especially those of hives:
Herba Violae tricoloris (Wild Pansy Herb).
Infusion of one teaspoon of the plant to a cup of water; drink 2-3 cups a day. Infusion of 4 tablespoons of the plant to a cup of water; take one tablespoon every 3 hours.
Flores Millefolii (Yarrow flowers).
Infusion of one tablespoon of flowers to a cup of water; drink 2 cups a day.
Herba Agrimoniae (Agrimony herb) is recommended in the treatment of allergies manifested by hives.
Infusion of one tablespoon of the plant to a cup of water; drink 2-3 cups a day.
Radix Inulae (Elecampane root) is recommended in the treatment of allergies manifested by skin rashes accompanied by itching.
Decoction of 3 tablespoons of roots to a cup of water; take 3-4 tablespoons a day.

Important Note: While nature provides extraordinary resources for supporting health, you must obtain a diagnosis from a licensed physician before choosing any natural treatment. Even when risks are low, any treatment must be approved by the specialist who diagnosed you to ensure it does not conflict with existing medication or pre-existing conditions. Nature supports healing, but only a doctor can correctly identify the illness and provide the appropriate therapeutic guidance.
