Hello! My name is Kigawa, and I work for Bi Natural and Milobina.
Hay fever season is finally here!

I'm lucky that I don't have hay fever, but there are still many things we don't know about hay fever, and even though so many people suffer from it, the number of people affected is increasing rather than decreasing, which is really worrying. is.

Hay fever makes such a happy spring a gloomy season.

No matter how hard it is, once that period passes, it suddenly becomes easier as if nothing happened, so how do you get through it? Or, there are quite a few people who think that they can just put up with it this time of year...and when I see people spending the pollen season like that, I get really worried.

This is because, as you know, hay fever is an allergic disease.

If you want to make your allergies worse (which no one does), expose yourself to lots of allergens.

This causes many allergic reactions in the body. When this exceeds a certain point, an allergic reaction begins, like water overflowing from a glass.

The longer you leave it untreated, the more allergic reactions occur in your body, and the more it overflows.

At times like these, even if you try to reduce the allergic reaction with medicine or supplements, there will be too much overflowing and it won't be able to reduce the allergic reaction to less than a cup.

Therefore, even if you take medicine or supplements as the season progresses and the hay fever becomes severe, it will not be effective at all, and you will have to suffer until the pollen scattering decreases.

If you think about it, the fact that allergic reactions are happening so intensely in your body means that your body is constantly fighting an enemy.

In the first place, allergies are caused by the immune system mistaking something that is not an enemy to be an enemy, and trying to attack and expel it from the body.

The inflammatory response caused by allergies, such as a runny nose, itching, and fever, is a reaction from the body to expel the enemy. A runny nose also expels the enemy called pollen from your body, and so does coughing. The reason why it swells and has a fever is that the virus is killed by heat, so it is trying to kill the enemy by generating a fever.

Doesn't this look like the same symptoms as a cold? Yes, it looks exactly like that!

When you catch a cold, you use up your physical strength, but hay fever also takes away your physical strength. Colds are said to be the cause of all illnesses, and hay fever is the same. What's more, the inflammatory response continues for much longer than a cold, so hay fever may have a stronger effect on sapping your physical strength.

Another scary thing about allergies is that if you leave them untreated, the amount of substances that cause an allergic reaction will gradually increase.

This was surprisingly unknown, and I thought it was just hay fever, but I ignored it for many years, and it only reacted to cedar pollen, but now my cypress is also damaged, and I also react to ragweed. Then I realized that house dust was no longer good, and even eating kiwi was no longer good...

The real fear of allergies is that the number of bad things keeps increasing. Although this is still a matter of speculation, some researchers believe that having various cancer allergies weakens the immune system, making it easier to develop cancer by overlooking cancer cells.

I don't know what actually happens, but it seems logically possible.

So, is it okay to use drugs to suppress histamine, which causes allergic reactions? Of course, it's better than leaving it alone, but there are always side effects, and some of them are actually quite serious.

Also, recently there are drugs that make you less sleepy, but they still don't seem to be very effective. There are some drugs that are so strong that if you take just one pill, the effect lasts for a whole day, but they also seem to have some serious side effects, such as making you feel very thirsty.

Medicine is convenient. When I can't get rid of a headache, I use a chiropractor to help me heal my body, but when it's unavoidable, I rely on painkillers to help me. In this way, science has created many useful and immediately effective things. Of course you can use it.

However, I want you to know that relying solely on medicine is dangerous.

Medicines cannot improve your condition. On the other hand, as it puts a strain on the detoxification organ, the liver, there is a concern that it may further develop an allergic constitution.

From the perspective of the body, there are reasons why allergies such as hay fever develop.

Although the cause is not clearly known,

・Continuously exposed to synthetic detergents and fragrances
-Not paying attention to additives in meals
- Uses a lot of pre-cut vegetables
・I often eat out or eat lunch from a convenience store.

These include things that make it easier to develop allergies when you come into contact with food or the chemical ingredients used.

Chemicals are a magic wand that allows you to create many useful things! When you go to a drugstore, you'll find a lot of chemical and useful things. But actually, that's not a good thing.

These days, even small children are getting hay fever. Originally, unlike atopic dermatitis, hay fever was thought to be an adult allergy. I am horrified that this is happening to children as well.

For example, you may wipe your mouth with baby wipes or disposable hand towels, which contain synthetic surfactants to remove dirt. It also contains artificial fungicides as preservatives. After learning that, I stopped using it with my children.

When we went outside to the park, we brought paper soap with us; it wasn't bulky, and the kids thought it was fun, so it was convenient.

Thanks to you, my younger daughter has no allergies and no hay fever. My older son has mild hay fever and probably an allergy to cats, probably because I didn't know about the dangers of chemicals when he was still young, and I used them all over the place.

It may be difficult to not use it at all.

However, I think that the more convenient something is, the more you should think carefully about whether you really need it. Body soaps are also full of chemicals. Synthetic surfactants can easily penetrate deep into the body through the skin, so from the body's perspective, substances that have never been experienced before in human history are entering the body, so we must be careful every time this happens. It should be.

If it's natural, it's hardwired into our DNA, so we don't have to worry about it. Soap is made from animal and plant oils, so in that sense it is a safe cleaning agent.

In addition, in this stressful society, the following are common.

・I eat sweets (high in sugar) every day to change my mood.
・I only look at my smartphone.
・I bring my smartphone into the bath, where I can relax and let my parasympathetic nervous system dominate.
- Poor quality of sleep due to high tension during the day
・Human relationships are tough...

I believe that living a lifestyle that easily disturbs the autonomic nervous system is one of the causes, so I think it will make a difference if you start paying attention to things that can be improved.

The other thing is exhaust gas.

If you live next to a road, you are more likely to develop allergies, so if you are moving or are looking for a new home, we recommend that you choose a place that is free from exhaust fumes as much as possible.

What did you think?

You may have already known this, but I hope you can at least realize that it is dangerous to just ignore allergies or suppress them with medication.

Bi Natural offers probiotic yogurt that improves the intestinal environment and changes your constitution, as well as herbal supplements that fundamentally change your body.

We also have aroma products that suppress inflammation, so many of our staff and customers who have started using these products have said that they no longer rely on medicine, and that we are able to alleviate allergies by using the power of nature and by adjusting the body. I've seen many examples where this is possible.

I hope that you, too, do not ignore your allergies, including hay fever, and stay healthy without relying too much on medicine.

Allergies suddenly appear one day. For prevention purposes, why not start by avoiding chemicals as much as possible so that your cup doesn't get too full?

Scented laundry detergents and fabric softeners are especially scary and harmful to those around you. I believe that it is important to gradually change your lifestyle and move closer to a LOHAS lifestyle in order to prevent allergies.
