Allergies are a type of immune response that occurs when the body’s normal defenses against infection or other allergens are overreacted.
Symptoms can vary, but most people know that they have an allergy when they experience symptoms after exposure to something that is normally harmless. Common allergens include dust mites, pet dander, grass, and feathers. They cause symptoms that can make life difficult, and in some cases, dangerous.
Allergies can be caused by a variety of things, including food, environmental factors, and medications. There is no one solution to fixing allergies, but often people must try different things to find relief.
They can also lead to other problems, such as rash, hives, and anaphylaxis. Allergies can be very serious.
Osteopathy is a form of complementary medicine that uses gentle manipulation of the musculoskeletal system to support a wide range of conditions.
It is particularly effective for supporting allergies, as osteopaths are well-trained in the care of inflammation and immune dysfunction. By relieving pressure on the airway and reducing inflammation, osteopathy can help reduce symptoms of allergies.
Osteopathy can be used to support respiratory illness because it can help relieve congestion, improve breathing, and improve overall health.
One of the most popular uses of osteopathy for allergies is to help relieve symptoms such as congestion, runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes and asthma attacks.
