Turmeric May Be One of the Best Natural Alternatives for Hay Fever

(Newswire.net — July 18, 2017) Orlando, FL — Turmeric is one of the ancient spices that has been used for thousands of years. This spice is thought to offer a myriad of health benefits and help fight symptoms associated with various diseases and disorders, such as allergies.

Turmeric may be one of the best natural alternatives for hay fever. Otherwise known as allergic rhinitis, this allergic condition causes symptoms that mimic those of chronic colds. It is essential to identify the triggers to avoid the development of the condition.

According to statistics, 30% of the world’s population is affected by hay fever. In the United States, it affects 10% of children below 17 years of age and 7.8% of adults. Approximately $3.4 billion has already been spent for the medical cost of the condition.

Childhood hay fever is more prevalent, but the condition can develop at any age. One of the common triggers is repeated inhalation of allergic substances. In the United States, the prevalence of allergic disease has increased dramatically.

This allergic reaction can cause nasal congestion, sneezing, and eye irritation. There are pharmaceutical drugs available for the condition. However, for individuals who want to resort to natural alternatives, turmeric may be an excellent option.

Histamine is a naturally-occurring substance in the body. It sits in and is being produced by the mast cells. The problem starts when the body releases an amount of histamine that is more than it is supposed to. When this happens, it leads to stress and allergic reactions.

It can also trigger the excessive release of inflammatory substances in the body. It is important to note that inflammation has been linked with the development of a wide range of diseases and disorders, including multiple sclerosis, autism, cancer, heart disease, and Parkinson’s.

The Molecular Nutrition and Food Research published a study that found that turmeric may be able to help slow or cease mast cells from releasing histamine.

According to the LA Times, if it works the same way with humans, it has the potential to stop the symptoms of allergies from developing.

Rebekah Athens on EarthClinic reveals that she has been taking curcumin for three weeks on a daily basis and found that her allergies are all gone.

Curcumin is a bioactive ingredient that is believed to be responsible for many of curcumin’s potential health effects. It contains a variety of unique agents, which are thought to include antibacterial, antibiotic, anti-carcinogenic, antiseptic, antiviral, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.

While there is turmeric powder available, which can be added in a variety of dishes and beverages, there are also curcumin supplements that are extremely popular in the market today.
