CBD and Hay Fever: What Is Known About CBD for Allergies

Your nose itches, your eyes burn – it’s pollen season again. The culprits in a pollen allergy can be tree, grass, rye, ragweed and mugwort pollen. In general, an allergy is an overreaction of our immune system. Substances that are basically harmless are seen by the body as a threat and trigger reactions in the respiratory tract. Here we reveal how CBD can support you naturally with a pollen allergy.

CBD for allergies

As a rule, common allergens are treated with antihistamines. These curb the production of histamine and thus the allergy. Side effects such as tiredness and nausea are not uncommon. So how could you counteract a nasty pollen allergy in spring in a natural way?

This is where CBD comes into play. The body can produce cannabinoids, which include CBD, itself. They stimulate a part of our nervous system that also includes the endocannabinoid system (ECS). Among other things, this is responsible for our immune system and also for pain relief. The ECS prevents histamine, which is one of the triggers of allergies, from being released and thus curbs the allergy somewhat.

How can CBD help me with a pollen allergy?

In principle, an allergy does not simply disappear by taking CBD. However, many CBD customers report that it helps relieve symptoms. The following points illustrate how CBD can help naturally with allergies:

CBD can strengthen our immune system. An allergy is particularly challenging for the immune system and therefore needs some support.
CBD can have an anti-inflammatory effect. Especially with itchy eyes, this can of course provide relief.
CBD can calm the nerves, which are frayed especially with annoying allergy symptoms. The ECS regulates our emotions. A high serotonin level (happiness hormones) has a positive effect on general well-being.
CBD can help with sleep. Anyone who sleeps better is more relaxed, calmer and more resistant to stress (for example caused by annoying allergy symptoms).
CBD can have an antimicrobial effect. Many allergy sufferers also suffer from skin problems, among other things – combined with itching or pain. Thanks to its antimicrobial effect, CBD can help irritated areas heal better or protect the skin from airborne allergens in the first place.

Which CBD product should I take?

The choice of CBD products is huge. Whether you prefer an oil, a cream or a tea is a matter of taste.

If you decide on a CBD oil, we recommend a full spectrum formulation. Why? Full spectrum means that the entire cannabinoid spectrum is contained in one product. Through the interplay of the individual components, the maximum potential of all the ingredients of the hemp plant unfolds. So you can go for our CBD Oil 5%. For acute emergencies, we recommend our water-soluble CBDeus. Thanks to its special formulation, you can use it at any time, including on the go.

One more little tip: if you suffer from severe hay fever, you can already start taking some CBD oil before the season really gets going. In the high season you can then easily increase the dosage if needed.
