Allergies – A Natural Approach to Relief

Allergies are the result of an overactive immune response to substances that are usually harmless—like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mould, or insect bites. Common allergic conditions include:

  • Hay fever (allergic rhinitis)

  • Asthma

  • Eczema

  • Conjunctivitis

  • Food allergies

  • Reactions to insect stings

Many people with asthma also experience other allergic symptoms—especially hay fever and eczema. These conditions often go hand-in-hand with dysfunctional breathing.

How Breathing Affects Allergies

Modern advice often tells us to "take deep breaths"—but this can worsen allergies and asthma. Just like eating too much food isn’t healthy, over-breathing (especially through the mouth) can irritate airways, lower carbon dioxide levels, and trigger inflammation.

In fact, chronic over-breathing—common in modern lifestyles—has been linked to an increase in allergy sensitivity and symptoms.

Common Allergy Triggers Include:

  • Dust and dust mites

  • Pollen and mould spores

  • Pet hair and dander

  • Perfumes and cleaning sprays

  • Chlorine (swimming pools)

  • Smoke or air pollution

Conventional Treatments May Help Short-Term

You may have tried:

  • Antihistamines

  • Steroid nasal sprays

  • Decongestants

  • Inhalers or creams

  • EpiPens for severe reactions

While these can reduce symptoms, they often don’t address the underlying pattern that may be contributing: your breathing.
