Most of us are allergic to something. The reasons for allergies are unclear. It could be a side effect of the living in a relatively sterile environment. It could also be the direct result of levels of pollutants and toxins that we are exposed to everyday. What is known for sure is that more and more people are suffering from allergies and there is a growing need for solutions and ways of managing the symptoms.
