3 Facts You Need To Know About Hay Fever & Allergies

Or: Why allergies are like couch grass!?

1. Couch grass like allergies have a massive invasive impact on their environment, be it in your garden or in your body. If you do not take care of them they’ll soon dominate your life. Couch grass is known by gardeners to be highly invasive. It grows 10 times faster than any other cultivated plants: It will overtake your garden aka your body if you leave it unattended.

2. Only removing the top of the iceberg: ripping off the visible greens above the surface aka just dealing with the symptoms of your allergy, may give you relief for a short while. But the price is high! The grass will come back even stronger as weeds tend to do because you didn’t attend to its root. The same here with allergies: If you only suppress the symptoms by taking antihistamines, nose spray and steroids you will have a relief initially. As you use them long term your body gets accustomed to the drug. You need higher doses year by year and suffer not only from your allergies but from the medications side-effect’s, too. Weight-gain, constant fatigue, mood swings, depression, low energy, drowsiness and digestive problems are just some common examples.

3. Allergies and couch grass are so commonly present in our environment that their seriousness gets usually underestimated. Most people are not at all aware of the severity and the impact allergies have on their long-term health. Apart from the massive negative side effects of the long-term use of medication, untreated patients risk a progressive deterioration of their health situation. What started with a minor hay fever can develop over time to livelong asthma and/or several allergic cross-sensitivities.

In Essenz: Allergies are NOT a minor thing but an emergency call from your body to take action towards eliminating its underlying causes.
