Allergies occur when a person’s immune system mistakenly believes an antigen (allergen) is harmful. The dust, pollen, and even the smell of roses is attacked by the immune system. Antibodies are produced in response to these environmental allergens.

These lines of communication must be cleared so that the body can respond without the hyper-vigilance and overly defensive attack to these harmless substances.
