RHINITIS

This occurs when airborne allergens are inhaled. These allergens are harmless unless the body's immune system reacts to them by making antibodies. Herbal In allergic reactions, these antibodies are in the IgE (immunoglobulin-E) class of antibodies, which stick to the surface of specialized cells called mast cells. Allergens combine with IgE antibodies to release pro-inflammatory substances including histamine, leukotrienes and cytokines from mast cells and other cells in the lining of the nose.

Symptoms being frequent sneezing, nasal discharge, irritant cough. This can lead to infections (bronchitis, sinusitis etc,) or bronchospasm (asthma).

ASTHMA

Symptoms are caused by excessive secretions in the bronchi, spasm of smooth muscle in the bronchial wall, and inflammatory swelling of the bronchial lining (mucosa). These changes cause obstruction to airflow in and out of the lung and the increased obstruction during exhalation leads to wheezing and trapping of air in the chest.

The tendency to become allergic is inherited and is controlled by several genes that influence production of IgE antibodies. Allergic disease develops only when a person becomes exposed to those allergens to which he has a genetic predisposition. Perinatal and infantile avoidance of food allergens may postpone development of allergic disease in susceptible children.

A fundamental problem in asthma is irritability of bronchi caused by inflammation in the bronchial walls. The inflammation causes loss of protective epithelial cells from the mucosa (lining of bronchial wall), exposing sensitive nerve endings to the irritating effects of chemical air pollutants and dry air. Predisposition to asthma is inherited, probably as the result of genetic factors independent of allergy-determining genes. Recent research suggests that genes that control various inflammatory mechanisms are important in causing allergic inflammation in the lung.

Allergic reactions in the lung cause inflammation, during which inflammatory cells called eosinophils and lymphocytes are attracted to the bronchial tissues. Products from these cells cause damage to the bronchial lining, which in turn leads to bronchial irritability that persists for several weeks after withdrawal from allergen exposure. This is most likely to occur when there is a delayed response to allergen known as a late phase reaction. Prolonged allergic inflammation in the bronchial walls may lead to thickening of the supportive membrane under the epithelial lining of the bronchial airways, and to a gradual and progressive loss of the ability of the airways to respond to a bronchodilator drug.

How it works:

RESPROMA food supplementis immunomodulatory to the respiratory tract. It helps desensitizes to the antigens and the mucus plugs are thinned out for better expectoration. As no allergy occurs, no subsequent reactions like bronchospasm, stimulation of mucus glands etc. Moreover the primary antioxidant-glutathione is increased with the food supplement RESPROMA that protects and repairs the damaged respiratory mucus membrane.
