Allergy remedy - Home remedy for allergy

Allergies are reactions of the immune system in which normal body tissue is injured. The mechanisms by which the immune system defends the body and by which a hypersensitivity reaction can injure it are similar. Thus, antibodies, lymphocytes, and other cells, which are normal protective components of the immune system are involved in allergic reactions as well as in autoimmune disease and organ transplant rejection. This website discusses allergy remedy and home remedy for allergy.

Allergy remedy with oral antihistamines
Allergy remedy options include oral antihistamines, nasal antihistamines, decongestants, and nasal sprays.
   Oral antihistamines are the allergy remedy drugs most commonly used for treating allergies and providing acute or chronic allergy relief. Oral antihistamines relieve allergy symptoms by blocking histamine, the chemical “culprit” that causes many symptoms. Antihistamines are classified as H1 blockers and H2 blockers, depending on the type of receptors (on the surface of cells) that they act on. H1 receptors are associated with human tissue involving capillaries, and H2 receptors predominate in the lining of the stomach.
   Newer, second generation antihistamine allergy remedy medications include Zyrtec (cetirizine), Allegra (fexofenadine), Clarinex (desloratadine), and Claritin (loratadine).

Allergy remedy with intranasal steroids

Allergy remedy with intranasal  antihistamines
Steroid free nasal antihistamines are only available by prescription. The first allergy medication of this type was Astelin (azelastine). Intranasal antihistamine allergy medications have side effects including headaches and sedation, and a bitter taste when the spray drips down from the nasal passages.
