Essential oils are volatile liquids extracted from plants that can be used in various ways like inhalation, baths, and massages. They are made through distillation or expression of plant materials and can contain hundreds of biochemical components like terpenes, alcohols, aldehydes, acids, esters, ketones, lactones, oxides, and phenols that give them therapeutic properties such as being anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antimicrobial. Essential oils evaporate quickly when exposed to air with higher temperatures causing faster evaporation.

Natural Allergens are substances that cause an immunological reaction in sensitive individuals. There are several types of natural allergens including inhalant, ingestant, injectant, contact, and infectant allergens. Inhalant allergens like pollen and dust enter the body through the respiratory tract and can cause symptoms like sneezing, coughing, and asthma. Ingestant allergens like certain foods are swallowed and can provoke reactions in the gastrointestinal tract or skin. Injectant allergens from bee stings or medications can trigger itching and rashes. Contact allergens on the skin or mucous membranes may induce dermatitis. Infectant allergens are causedNatural allergens - Definition , classification, drugs

Allergy occurs when the immune system reacts to normally harmless substances called allergens. Common allergens include pollen, dust mites, animal dander, foods and medications. The immune system produces IgE antibodies that mistakenly identify allergens as harmful. When a person is exposed to an allergen, the antibodies trigger an inflammatory response causing allergy symptoms. Allergies can be classified based on the route of exposure such as inhaled, ingested or contact allergens. Skin testing and blood tests can help identify specific allergens causing a person's symptoms. Treatments include avoidance of allergens and medications that reduce inflammation.Natural_Allergens_Photosensitizing_Agents_Fungal_Toxin

The document discusses different types of allergies including food allergies, drug allergies, and chemical allergies. It provides examples of common allergens like milk, coffee, metals, acids, and enzymes that can cause immune system reactions through IgE antibodies and the release of histamine from mast cells. The mechanisms of primary and secondary exposure are described, where the first exposure sensitizes the immune system and subsequent exposures trigger an allergic response through antigen-antibody reactions. Common symptoms of different types of allergies are also outlined.Lexidex-M

This document discusses Lexidex-M, a medication containing loratadine and montelukast used to treat allergic reactions. It describes allergic reactions as an overreaction of the immune system to substances like pollen or dust. Allergens cause inflammation by producing histamine and leukotrienes which bind to receptors in the respiratory system. Lexidex-M works by having loratadine bind to H1 receptors to inhibit histamine secretion while montelukast blocks leukotriene receptors to prevent inflammation in the airways. The medication is indicated for seasonal allergic rhinitis, asthma prophylaxis, and nasal polyps, and has a dosage of 4mg once dailyNatural allergens,photosensitizing agents and fungal toxin

Allergies are abnormal responses to harmless substances called allergens. Common allergens include pollen, dust, animal dander, foods, medications, and cosmetics. Allergic reactions can be localized to the site of contact or generalized throughout the body. Symptoms depend on the type of allergen and include sneezing, itchy eyes, skin rashes, and potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis. Allergies are caused by an overactive immune system producing antibodies called IgE to normally harmless substances. Genetics, environment, and other factors influence a person's susceptibility to developing allergies.The allergies
