The number of allergic diseases has increased steadily in recent years. According to the Association of German Allergists (ÄDA) suffers now probably about one-third of the German population from an allergy.
With an allergy, the immune system reacts violently to a harmless environmental substances. The body's own defense mechanisms to combat relatively harmless foreign substances similar to dangerous pathogens. Unlike a normal immune reaction, this allergic reaction does not lead to the destruction of the trigger or protect against a new illness. They usually last only as long as the sufferer is exposed to the allergy-causing substance.
Among the most common allergens include pollen (hay fever), animal dander (animal hair allergy) and house dust (house dust allergy). The search for the allergenic substance is slow in most cases. With various skin tests and blood laboratory tests, many allergens are identified. The causes of allergic diseases are not yet fully explored. It is believed that several factors contribute to the development of allergic disease. Genetic predispositions seem to be important. Moreover, suggests the fact that allergies have increased sharply in recent decades, suggests that environmental factors also play a role, and individual lifestyles.Allergic diseases are manifested by various symptoms. They range from swollen, itchy eyes, runny nose and reddened skin and on asthmatic suffocation leading to life-threatening anaphylactic shock. Therefore of particular importance is the timely diagnosis and therapy, because this could for example develop a non-treated allergic rhinitis over a longer period to allergic asthma."In particular, it is deep-seated fears and stress, the fight to a depressed mood or even lead to panic response patterns, with the help of psychotherapeutic counseling, individual sports therapy and relaxation techniques. Because this makes it difficult to keep in disease management a clear head, "said the psychologist Hiltraud Mueller, Clinic of the Department of Borkum.Despite great advances in science, there is still no cure for allergies and other chronic skin and respiratory diseases. Diagnosis and therapy in complex diseases such as eczema, psoriasis or asthma is a difficult undertaking. Experience has shown that the treatment of chronic diseases in ambulatory practice has limitations. Therefore often brings only the stationary stay in a specialized clinic to the desired therapeutic response. (Ah)
