Allergies are a resultant inflammatory response that can give rise to benign symptoms like a runny nose to very serious symptoms like anaphylactic shock and sometimes even may lead to death. Any kind of immune reaction is known as an allergic one. Allergies are inflated reactions of one's immune system to substances that, in most people, cause no symptoms.

One may develop allergic symptoms if he or she is exposed to allergens that might be responsible for a particular allergic symptom. Some of the common allergic symptoms are given below:

1.Irritation in nose or nasal mucosa
2.Runny nose and sneezing
3.Redness and itching of the eyes
4.Wheezing, dyspnoea (asthma symptoms)
5.Skin rashes, eczema, hives, etc.
6.Pain in the ears, impaired hearing due to lack of drainage in the
Eustachian tube.
7.Head aches.

These are some of the most ordinary symptoms of allergy but the symptoms can be as serious as edema, bronchoconstrictions, asthma attacks, sever hay fever reaction, etc.

Allergies are often hereditary. You are most likely to develop allergic symptoms if allergies run in the family. A child may have the propensity to be allergic if either of the parents have allergies.

Some of the most common allergies are from: 1) Pollen, 2) Dust Mites, 3) Pets and their furs, 4) Chemicals, 5) Food allergies from eggs, prawns, etc. In addition to these, nuts, latex etc can also give rise to allergic symptoms

While allergies may not have a cure, there are various allergy relief medications available to relieve the miserable symptoms an allergy sufferer experiences.

There is no way to be completely accurate about what's the cause of a particular allergy. Medical allergy testing can tell you what you are allergic to, most of the time, but not much more. They can't really tell you why you have allergies and hence making it very hard to recommend the best allergy products for you.

Here are various natural remedy methods for allergy symptoms relief:

Acupressure: A traditional Chinese method that uses specific points on the body such as on the hand, fingers, palm and elbows to balance the energy flow in the body. It is believed to help many different conditions and diseases, including allergies.

Acupuncture: This is another ancient Chinese method of treatment. It is similar to acupressure as it uses the same pressure points but differs from it because very fine needles are inserted instead of pressure applied by the fingers. By stimulating the body's own defense system, the body can use it's natural healing process to relieve the allergy symptoms.

Reflexology: In reflexology, it is believed that the hands and feet mirror other parts of the body and applying pressure, stretching and moving them will have an affect on the body, depending on exactly where the pressure and movement is applied. Applying pressure or massaging the tips of the fingers and toes has had some success relieving sinus problems associated with allergies.

BioSET: It stands for Bioenergetic sensitivity and enzymatic Therapy, a simple biological process where techniques like enzyme therapy and detoxification are applied to the various organs. Applied Kinesiology or muscle testing is used to diagnose the allergy.

Don't panic, if you develop allergic symptoms. Change your environmental conditions and eating habits, doing this will definitely give you positive results and help you become allergy free. However, if your symptoms are more serious, then you can turn to the various allergy treatments available these days. With proper immuno-therapy you can certainly see the desired results.

Keep in mind, although allergies cannot be prevented, they can successfully be controlled and treated with the right allergy treatments and medication.
