• Strictly follow the doctor's prescription, do not take serious drugs, such as sulfonamides and antibiotics, uncontrollably.

Advantages and disadvantages of folk remedies

People treat traditional medicine in different ways. Someone completely trusts its capabilities, others look skeptically at such measures. Consider the pros and cons of alternative treatments in the following table.

pros	Minuses
Most of the plants used in folk recipes really have a positive effect on the functioning of the immune system.	The effectiveness of most techniques and recipes has not been scientifically proven.
Many drugs used in pharmacology today are based on herbal raw materials.
Traditional medicine recipes have stood the test of time.	Folk remedies can provoke complications and give rise to other pathologies, since they are not devoid of contraindications and undesirable actions.
Relatively high safety of treatment.	Dosing errors with some herbs can exacerbate allergies rather than eliminate them.
Affordable price for most plants.	The use of several recipes for alternative treatment at the same time may be incompatible, since not all plants are combined with each other. This is fraught with intoxication of the body and other unpredictable phenomena.

Contraindications

Almost all medicinal plants and animal products (honey, propolis, etc.) have contraindications, therefore, it is recommended to consult a doctor before using them. The use of fees can increase the side effects of any component included in their composition, and therefore experts do not advise preparing fees based on more than 5 herbs at the same time.

Plants are selected taking into account their effect on the body. For example, it is undesirable to take tonic components to persons who suffer from insomnia and irritability, and sedatives - people who drive a car or those whose activities are associated with increased mental stress.

The main contraindications for the treatment of allergies with traditional medicine:

• diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
• hypertension;
• renal failure.

In the presence of these conditions, the use of herbs is possible after consulting a doctor.

Side effects

In certain clinical cases, herbs can indeed be helpful. But phytotherapy should certainly be discussed with a doctor, since some herbal remedies can increase or, on the contrary, to reduce the effectiveness of medications, and sometimes, due to various circumstances, it is simply not suitable for a specific man. For example, recipes with iodine are categorically contraindicated for persons suffering from thyroid diseases.

Consider the side effects of some commonly used plants:

• Onions increase the acidity of gastric juice, so it should not be used for gastritis and ulcerative pathologies of the digestive tract.
• Garlic in large quantities provokes internal bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract.
• St. John's wort increases the skin's susceptibility to ultraviolet rays.
• An overdose or unjustifiably prolonged use of chamomile decoction leads to depression of the nervous system, migraines and weakness.
• The use of a series in large doses provokes nervous excitability, panic attacks and hypotension.

Thus, medicinal plants, which at first glance seem harmless, if used incorrectly, can cause serious complications. That is why experts insist on the dangers of uncontrolled self-medication.

Reviews

Consider the reviews of different people on how to get rid of allergies at home.

Maria, 43 years old. “In the forest, a wasp bit (on the hand). The bite zone began to increase literally before our eyes, after 2 hours the palm looked like a mitten. At that moment my family and I were at the dacha - neither Suprastin nor Dimedrol was in the country house. I began to apply cold compresses with a decoction of calendula, which grows between our beds. From time to time I dipped my hand into a bath of salted water. Unfortunately, pain joined the heat in my hand, alternative treatment removed the swelling a little, but the allergy was not going to end without medication. I had to urgently go to the city. "

Olga, 28 years old. “I am allergic to cat hair. It is not easy to completely protect yourself from these animals in our modern world. After contact with a cat on a visit, when I come home, I immediately rinse my nose with salt water and drink a lot of green tea with chamomile, sage or ginger, I believe that this method helps to remove allergens. "

Home remedies for allergies can be effective in most cases. But we must remember that in the first place in the fight against any disease should be the recommendations and prescriptions of a doctor.
