Allergies suck. Plain and simple.

I’ve been dealing with my kids allergies for many years and its so common, even scary

More than 50 million Americans suffer from allergy symptoms each year. Allergies can spring up during any season, but the most common times are spring and fall.

According to Medical News Today, an allergy is “a hypersensitive immune response to substances that either enter or come in contact with the body”.

In other words, your body overreacts when an allergen gets in, leading to symptoms that range from mild to severe. These symptoms are the body’s way of trying to get rid of the offending substance.

Allergens can come from both indoor and outdoor sources, such as:

mildew & mold
dust mites
pet dander
grass
trees
plant pollen
food allergens
detergents, soaps, lotions, etc.

You may already be aware that supplementing with magnesium can alleviate deficiency symptoms like loss of appetite, fatigue or weakness, but did you know that it can also help with seasonal allergies?

The Immune System & Histamines

As I’ve said, allergy symptoms occur when your body’s immune system overreacts to substances in your environment, such as cat dander, dust or pollen. Your system starts fighting them as if they were bacteria or viruses by releasing a biochemical called histamine.

Most allergens are harmless and the majority of people aren’t seriously affected by them.

When you have an allergic reaction to something your body thinks that that substance is a pathogen (i.e. bacteria, a virus, a parasite, etc.) and tries to destroy it.

These are some of the more common allergy symptoms:

itching
coughing
sneezing
rashes/ hives
swollen eyes
dry eyes
runny nose
throat swelling
itchy throat

Magnesium & Allergy Response

Some doctors believe that a healthy diet and certain nutritional supplements can support your immune system, keeping it strong but not overactive.

One of these supplements is magnesium. This crucial mineral helps relieve constricted airways in the lungs.

One study found that lab animals that were severely deficient in magnesium had higher blood levels of histamine when exposed to allergens than animals that were getting enough magnesium. Remember, histamines are released by your body in response to allergens; they are the cause of allergy symptoms.

Even some food allergies could be the result of a magnesium deficiency, as bodyandsoulreconnection.com explains: “The mineral magnesium and the amino acid histidine are also needed to break down wheat. Therefore, if any or a combination of these nutrients are depleted in our body we have a negative reaction to wheat. We may also exhibit problems with airborne allergens, dust, dog or cat dander, detergents, wool or feathers when we have sensitivity to wheat.”

They also found that corn allergies could indicate a need for more magnesium in your diet as well.

Magnesium deficiency is something that plagues a majority of people, though most are unaware of it.

Prevention Magazine notes that magnesium “helps relieve constricted airways in the lungs”. According to an article in the British medical journal The Lancet, healthy magnesium levels are associated with lower rates of asthma and allergies.

Studies like this one show that magnesium can help with keeping the smooth muscles of the airway relaxed and can also help to dilate bronchioles. In addition, magnesium keeps histamine levels down and reduces inflammation in the lungs and the airway overall.

There are various foods you can eat to increase your daily intake of magnesium. Here are a few you can try:

kelp
almonds
cashews
parsley
avocado
brown rice
rice
soy beans
leafy greens

Children and Magnesium

Many parents are beginning to look to magnesium supplements to help their children with allergies. Epidemiological studies have shown that patients with asthma often have lower levels of magnesium than healthy controls. Low magnesium levels are associated with lower measures of several lung functions, including lung capacity and airway flow.

This is important information for parents since it seems that many children are magnesium deficient. More and more evidence of magnesium deficiency in childhood is beginning to emerge.

Writing for Silver Bulletin e-News Magazine, Dr. Mark Sircus notes that “Research published in the American Journal of Epidemiology in 2002 showed that when the diets of 2,566 children ages 11-19 were studied, less than 14% of boys and 12% of girls had adequate intakes of magnesium.”

Spray Those Allergies Away

Magnesium supplements can make allergy season much easier to cope with if you’re one of the 50 million Americans who suffer from allergies. Sure, there are plenty of over the counter medications, but if you can avoid the side effects and beat back your allergy symptoms with a natural remedy, all the better.
