An allergy is an inappropriate response by the immune system to a substance that is not usually harmful.  The immune system is a majorly complex defense mechanism that is necessary for fighting infections.  It does this by locating foreign invaders and mobilizing the body’s white blood cells to fight them.  The allergic response can cause the immune system to wrongly identify nontoxic substances as an invader, causing white blood cells to over-react.  This causes more damage to the body than the invader.  Some common allergic responses are nasal congestion, coughing, wheezing, itching, shortness of breath, headache, fatigue, and hives and other skin rashes.

By feeding the body nutrients that can help boost the immune system we can successfully reduce the allergy or eliminate it all together.   Fortunately, natural vitamins and herbs can help boost the immune system and do just this.  One such vitamin is called quercetin which is a bioflavonoid.  Quercetin can help the body block the release of histamine by cells in the body and reduce the immune response in response to histamine.

Natural quercetin is available in capsule and tablet forms at your local or internet health food store.  Always look for name brands like Quercetin from Solaray or Source Naturals to ensure quality and purity of the product you purchase.
