In Germany, approximately 16 percent of the population suffer from pollen allergy (hay fever). Allergic rhinitis is triggered by the pollen of trees, shrubs, grasses, grains and herbs. Once the pollen come into contact with mucous membranes, those affected suffer from watery eyes and itchy, runny nose, and bronchial asthma. The pollen concentration is also dependent on temperature, weather and wind conditions.
To detect a pollen allergy skin tests are performed, in which pollen extracts applied to the skin or injected under the skin. In addition, a blood test done, can be detected by the so-called RAST (specific IgE) antibodies against the respective pollen. To confirm the diagnosis can be a challenge test used, in which the suspect pollen are applied to the nasal mucosa, for example, to provoke the symptoms.
Treatment at different levels
1st allergen avoidance
The avoidance of allergens, so the avoidance of pollen is the safest method for the treatment of hay fever. The implementation is difficult, because the pollen can fly through the air for miles.
2nd Specific hypnotherapy (desensitization)
The specific hypnotherapy is the only treatment that tackles the cause. In this case the allergy in the respective pollen allergen is gradually increasing doses fed to him so as to make against the pollen-sensitive. Hypo sensitization should always be performed by a physician experienced in allergy.
3rd drug treatment
The medication is used to relieve and prevent symptoms of hay fever and for the treatment of inflammatory mucosa swelling. Used antihistamines, Dinatriumcromoglicinsäure (DNCG) are cortisone therapy and to complement and equestrienne receptor antagonists.
4th Additional procedures
A concomitant therapy useful measure is the nasal rinsing with isotonic saline solution. Using this method proven natural anti-allergic drugs may need to be reduced.
Our tips for hay fever
The pollen concentration is in rural areas during the morning hours and lowest in the city but later in the evening. Therefore, should the country be better aired in the morning rather in the evening and in the city.
Plan your best vacation during the pollen season in pollen-free regions. Pollen is found for example air arms on islands, the sea or in high mountain regions.
Keep windows closed when driving. Change the pollen filter for the ventilation system regularly (annually) from.
Vacuum cleaner with HEPA filtration system to keep dust and allergenic particles back.
Wash your hair before bedtime if possible and take the street clothes outside the bedroom.
Pollen and food
More than 50 percent of the pollen-allergic reaction to food. These pollen-associated food allergy is also known as cross-allergy. The typical symptoms, e.g. after eating an apple, include tingling, itching and swelling to the mouth and throat. Those who respond to such early bloomers tolerate, especially not nuts, apples, pear, peach, plum, cherry and almonds.
