Ragweed is the biggest allergy trigger in the fall. Though it usually starts to release pollen with cool nights and warm days in August, it can last into September and October. About 75% of people allergic to spring plants also have reactions to ragweed. Living in California growing up I never really suffered from allergies until I relocated to Texas. I couldn't decipher if it was the change in climate that was making my eyes red and runny along with nasal cavity issues. The one thing I did know is that it was very uncomfortable. I had never experienced a swollen nose before and didn't know you could get it without being hit in the face. Welcome to Humidity city. When allergy season does hit the main complaint is inflammation of the anodes. There is a well-understood link between allergies and the development of asthma. However, how does inflammation play a role, and more importantly, how does CBD for inflammation play into it? Many of the most challenging symptoms of allergies are actually issues with inflammation. Rhinitis, sinusitis, and asthma are all different localized problems caused by inflammation. Allergic reactions are triggered when our immune systems jump into action to ward off an allergen. The immune system triggers a localized inflammatory response, including swelling, hay fever, respiratory restrictions, and more. Inflammation and allergies go hand in hand when allergens trigger a reaction; inflammation is sure to follow. To potentially reduce or eliminate your allergies this fall take CBD oil in either a capsule or tincture daily. If your skin is irritated with hives apply CBD topically. Thiscan help to reduce the inflammation. And remember, CBD is the compound in cannabis that does not get you high, meaning there’s no reason it can’t serve as a regular treatment for these issues. |
