What are Allergies?

Allergies are uncomfortable symptoms stemming from an immunological response from the body that is directly related to, not only external factors like pollen and grass but also the health of your intestinal tract. Allergies are not as simple as just being ‘allergic’ to pollen. There is much more going on inside the body, which makes it difficult to normalize the problems related to allergies.
