Antiallergic

Reduces allergic responses

Antiallergic herbs reduce the body's over-reaction to allergens, calming the histamine release and inflammation behind hay fever, hives and allergic asthma. They are often used both to settle acute symptoms and to steady an over-sensitive immune system over time.

Antiallergic is a sub-action of Anti-inflammatory. Where anti-inflammatory reduces inflammation, antiallergic is its narrower, more targeted form.
