| Black seed oil (Nigella sativa) has long been used to prevent and alleviate the symptoms of allergic reactions. Studies has shown an improvement in the subjective perception of symptoms in the patients, accompanied by improvements in the corresponding clinical parameters. For therapeutic support of seasonal allergies, such as pollen allergy, therapy should be started several months before the first symptoms are likely to occur. Quercetin has potential in its action against the most common allergic complaints and can increase the well-being of allergy sufferers and sensitive individuals. The flavonoid is able to inhibit histamine production and release in mast cells. In addition, quercetin appears to inhibit the activity of various signaling substances involved in the IgE-associated allergic immune response. |

| Allergic diseases, such as hay fever, are characterized by a disturbed balance between TH1 and TH2 helper cells. Through complex mechanisms, highly active substances are released, such as histamine, which are responsible for the symptoms. Treatment with probiotic bacteria can alleviate allergic reactions. This is attributed to an increased production of anti-inflammatory cytokines and to the balance of TH1 and TH2. |
