is stress making your allergies even worse?

While stress does not cause seasonal allergies, it does have a direct effect on increasing the severity of our allergy symptoms. Understanding how stress and allergies are related can help us feel better in a few ways.

The connection between allergies and stress.

When we experience stress, our bodies release a whole bunch of hormones to help us cope, but one of these hormones is histamine. Histamine is a chemical that our bodies use when we're having allergic reactions. So, when stress releasing more int our bloodstream our allergy symptoms increase.

The bummer is that allergy season is notorious for increasing our stress. When we experience allergies - the runny nose, itchy eyes, difficulty sleeping - they can make us feel stressed about how they can prevent us from doing our jobs or spending time doing things we love. That stress releases histamines and those histamines grow our allergic reaction, which causes more stress, which releasees more histamines...it goes in a vicious cycle.

To make matters a touch worse, histamines are exacerbated by Cortisol which is also a primary hormone released when we're stressed. Cortisol can be helped with bioavailable Magnesium like that found in our Anxiety Destroying Anti-Stress Soak.

Allergies have been an issue for us recorded as far back as 3,500 years ago in ancient Egypt. It wasn't until 1906 that the first case of a "non-disease" reaction was recorded and the field of allergy care was created.

As recently as the late 1960s it was estimated that only 1 in 10 people (just 10% of us) had allergies of some type. Compare that to just a few decades later where 1 in 3 people now identify as having allergies.

"allergies affect over 30% of us and continues to grow with every decade, that means more and more of us have to learn to deal with allergies."

So what do we do to help relieve our stress-increased allergies?

A recent study pulling data from hospitals across the United States shows that almost 75% of hospital visits are stress-related, and allergies are a major part of that.

While reducing our stress won't stop our allergies symptoms entirely, it has been shown to reduce our allergy symptoms. So, anything we can do to ease our stress like taking an anxiety reducing bath soak, will help relieve our
