It is estimated that between 10 and 15 million allergy in Spain. Dr. Thomas Chivato, president of the Spanish Society of Allergology and Clinical Immunology (SEAIC) states that “14.7% of allergy clinics are motivated by drug allergies.”

Fortunately, “Spain has a recognized group of experts at the forefront in the study and understanding of these diseases,” explains Dr. Chivato. In addition, we must highlight the research being conducted around the new techniques that improve the diagnosis of drug allergy.

An allergy is an immunological reaction to any foreign substance to the body (pollen, dust mites, food …). In most cases, the patient produces antibodies to class E (IgE or IgE) to allergens (foreign substances). The antibody, when in contact with the allergen and cells called mast cells and basophils, causes an inflammatory reaction in the body accompanied by itching, redness, or asthma.

polen of the most common allergic, reactions to the grasses are the most hours of consultations occupies. Second, it places the pollen of Arizona and finally to the banana and olive trees. In coastal areas, the most abundant is allergic to dust mites.

Gabriel Sosa, allergist allergy chief of the Hospital La Zarzuela and member of the Society of Madrid and Castilla La Mancha of allergy, explains that “the agents that cause allergies are called allergens. And, unfortunately, thousands of them in the environment (pollen, mites, fungi …). However, there are certain pollens are more allergenic than others. For example, among the animals, is much more likely to become allergic to cat fur dog that and, moreover, are more intense attacks.

The most common allergic diseases are allergic rhinitis and asthma. Dr. Miguel Angel Weaver, Head of the University Hospital Allergy Alcorcón Foundation, says that these diseases “are caused by our immune system response to a wide variety of substances, whose importance in each region depends on conditions that favor its presence: pollen continental climate, warm and humid climate in the case of house dust mites.”

The discomfort of the symptoms
conjuntivitisLos main effects of allergy problems are manifested in the airways. Among them, one of the most disabling is allergic rhinitis, consisting of sneezing, itchy nose, watery runny or blocked nose. Much of the population suffers from allergic symptoms in most cases can be very annoying.

Along with rhinitis, eye diseases also tend to make an appearance. The allergic cojuntivitis, the most frequent, manifests in redness, itching and watering of the conjunctiva. What’s more, the grass can also cause asthma (dry cough and repetitive, wheezing, shortness of breath).

How is it?
Dr. Sosa explained that respiratory allergies tratran with “antihistamines for hay fever, nasal sprays, eye drops, and inhalers for asthma.” There is also a technique known as “immunotherapy” which “involves the subcutaneous injection or oral intake of the allergen causes, progressively. This is desensitizing treatment, ie, eliminate allergy symptoms. It is the only treatment source of the problem and has to be done under the observation of a specialist in the field and controlling the treatment, “said the expert.

With respect to natural remedies, some naturopaths claim that the plant provides the same effects petasia antihistamines, and that infusions of dried nettle or Sambucus nigra improve symptoms. However, Dr. Weaver explains that “there are no controlled studies showing that they are effective.”

Who will be affected?
Dr. Sosa family’s words: “any person may have an allergy, but at least in food and respiratory allergies are much more likely in people with a family history of allergy, as there is a clear genetic component.”

It can appear at any stage of life in people who have never suffered. In fact, usually the case. People are born with genes that predispose to allergy. But why five years appears or 40 is a fact that is still unknown.

Symptoms appear in a drug allergy are varied and can affect different body systems. A skin redness or inflammation accompanied by respiratory and digestive problems are often manifestations of this problem.

However, the picture is more severe anaphylaxis. At this point the question arises: which is anaphylaxis? It is the most serious allergic reaction may occur. This usually begins 30 minutes after taking the drug with severe progressive symptoms from itching, hives, difficulty breathing, asthma, blood pressure dropping, and ultimately, dizziness and unconsciousness. This situation needs urgent treatment as it can endanger the patient’s life.

We must also take into account a phenomenon known as ‘Cross-Reactivity’, which appears when a patient allergic to a drug, you are given a similar, usually from the same family and identical symptoms after ingestion.

Avoid self-medication and drug abuse

at present, it is still unknown why a patient becomes allergic to a medication. However, it is known that a direct relationship between abuse and self-medication and drug reactions, especially in the treatment of respiratory diseases.

For example, when there is a viral disease, the use of antibiotics may be useless, and, conversely, the continued use of the drug can cause an allergic reaction in the patient.

Medical Consultation Drug
the ‘Desensitisation’, a solution

unlike the rest of allergenic substances, reactions to the drugs do not have specific treatment. On certain occasions may arise cases in which allergic patients cannot be treated with alternative drugs. With these patients, you can opt for desensitization to the drug responsible for the allergy.

Dr. Mariana Castells, Professor of Allergy at the University of Harvard, says that this technique is “temporarily induce tolerance to the drug causing the allergy, allowing adequately treat patients with drugs that had previously shown hypersensitivity reaction.”

Desensitization also applies at present to treat allergic reactions to chemotherapy, AIDS patients allergic to sulfa drugs or penicillin-sensitive individuals.

Although reactions to medications can occur at any stage of life, more often manifest between 40 and 50. The most likely cause is the frequent use of drugs from these ages. Another feature to note is that women are more likely to develop a drug allergy than men.

Also, you can also differentiate between types of allergies that occur in childhood and adulthood. Reactions to certain foods, dermatitis or asthma are more common among children and adolescents, while drug allergy is more common in adulthood.

To alleviate some symptoms of seasonal allergies remedies are one hundred percent natural and healthy habits, but do not solve the problem, they help a lot to cope with the effects of spring. Isabel Cabrera, herbodietética expert, says that “whenever there are more allergic than shuffled away from the antihistamine options and trying, above all, seek natural remedies that make them feel better, clearer.”

The first step is to keep a healthy lifestyle goes, of course, by eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, especially those that are rich in vitamin C and A, as well as flavonoids. You can start taking citrus fruit of all kinds and also recommended apple juice with honey, a healthy combination that activates the body’s defenses.

It is also advisable to drink tea and green tea especially mugwort tea, a plant of Aztec origin with multiple healing properties. In general, the infusions are a good remedy for allergies, also highlighting melissa or even chamomile, since both act on the respiratory system.

You can also make an infusion or a plant called echinacea tablets or Echinacea, which helps boost the immune system and activate the body’s defenses to fight infection.

There are other foods that are taken to control seasonal allergies, among them alfalfa sprouts, Brussels sprouts, quail eggs, cabbage, tomato soup, cauliflower or walnut leaves.

to curb the symptoms of seasonal allergies need to avoid unhealthy habits like smoking, alcohol, excessive caffeine and other drugs that may undermine the proper functioning of the immune and respiratory area.

In addition to these measures, it is advisable to keep the house clean and avoid going out as far as possible, especially when you can see the pollen in the air. To do this you should be informed of the density of pollen in your area. Allergists recommend, in extreme cases of allergy, the use of a mask to avoid the inhalation of pollen.

many plants help to mitigate the effects of allergies through its antihistamine and anti-inflammatory properties. Isabel Cabrera, herbodietética expert, recommends natural remedies containing components that help you breathe. As he says, “some fear that the drug allergies they are addicting and go to health food stores looking for, primarily, herbal teas and tablets.”

Capsaicin: is present in spicy foods and causes burning. This plant helps the body against allergies.

Nettle helps stop the production of mucus and coughing caused by allergy to pollen and even hay fever.

Licorice: can be a good remedy for rhinitis. It can take both pills and infusions.

Quercetin: it has the ability to maintain healthy levels of histamine. This is a flavonoid that can be found mostly in foods such as onions and apples.

Euphrasia officinalis is popularly known as ‘bright eyes’. Can be used as a cliche, but it is very beneficial taken in pill form. Recommended for conjunctivitis, lacrimation, and blepharitis.

We talk about people with allergies, which every year are affected by the incidence of various plant pollens and suffering so annoying reactions such as irritation of the respiratory tract, eyes, skin … Fortunately for them there are palliative treatments that can help them overcome these symptoms. But many people cross their fingers while waiting for a little intense spring pollens.

not all springs are equal in regards to pollen. For example, Javier Subiza, coordinator of the Aerobiology Committee of the Spanish Society of Allergology and Clinical Immunology (SEAIC) explains that it may be mild when the sum of the grass is less than 2,000 or can be intense when these values are above 5,000. In the latter case “allergies are multiplied by three or four and selling five antihistamines. It is what is called allergy epidemic,” the expert.

These variations are its reason for being in the amount of rainfall during the months of September to December, since the higher rainfall, the greater the incidence of pollen. Last autumn rainfall in Spain exceeded 50%, so that predictions warn that “going to be a fairly strong spring,” said Subiza, “one of the strongest in recent years.”

However, we must also take into account that this may change depending on the geographical area in which we find and, for example, “in mainland Spain dry climate, grass concentrations are significantly higher in wet years, “the allergist.

Also, we must also expect that the worst time for allergies comes in mid-May to mid June and that lasts more or less conditioned by the arrival of high temperatures, “in very hot years grasses are exhausted before, “says Javier Subiza.

No doubt, when there is so bad a year as expectations in 2009, the alarms are triggered. Although there are palliative drugs, they should be taken before the start of the season, but the lack of foresight and causes many allergy diagnoses are not treated in time. It is therefore necessary to see a doctor who specializes in finding solutions and “demand that we completed and tested for not only a diagnostic symptoms, as it is very important to know what exactly is causing the allergy,” suggests Sneak Thomas, president of the SEAIC.

Vaccines are another option to consider, but is still very low percentage of people who opt for this treatment. Children may be the main beneficiaries of these drugs because the sooner treatment is started the greater the success and the better the expectations of full recovery of allergy.

it may seem overly alarming, but as experts say, in recent years the prevalence of pollen allergies has increased dramatically, now affecting 20% of the population. In fact, “is immune disorder that affects humans, making it a health problem of first order,” says Javier Subiza.

But aside from affecting more people, has also greatly expanded the age range of patients, and today can affect almost anyone, although the age at which the maximum peak has affected about 22 years. The most significant of these changes is found in how our habits have changed in recent years: life in the city away from the field, hygiene excess chemicals not previously we used, and air pollution may be the main culprits.

For all this, and because it seems quite difficult to move away from this lifestyle is very important scientific advance in this direction, and that allergies, whether or not treated, carry lots of expenses for those who suffer and for the healthcare system globally .

Our modern culture does not encourage us to awaken, and without a sense of inner strength, let us easily overcome by the difficulties that surround us. If you do not direct our journey toward spiritual growth, we invade the rush of life, nourished by our habitual patterns. While some employers are common sources of inspiration, others we just exhausted.

Meditation teaches us to realize these patterns, creating a tissue, an entity we call “I”.

When you awaken in the morning, our first meditation is often “What about me?” We can loosen this standard setting another kind of perspective. Instead of “What do I have to do today?” Or “someday I’ll get enough sleep?” we can ask, “How I can use this day to let the dharma change my thoughts, words and actions? What positive qualities do I grow?
