Allergies

Allergies are a global epidemic. About 31% of the U.S. population experiences various types of allergies each year, and nearly 30% of Canadians have non-food allergies. Interestingly, purified oxygen-enriched indoor air is proving an effective relief for allergies.

What Causes Allergic Reactions

What Causes Allergic Reactions?

An allergy is when the body’s immune system reacts to a foreign substance that may not necessarily be harmful. Most allergic reactions are triggered by specific foods, such as nuts, dairy, and animal protein. A fair portion of the population is also allergic to aeroallergens—airborne inhalants such as particulate matter, pollen, chemical fumes, smoke, animal fur, and dust.

Allergens set off unnecessary immune reactions, causing the release of histamines that trigger inflammation in the affected area. Depending on the allergen and the patient, allergy-induced inflammation exhibits a myriad of symptoms, including itchy eyes, runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing, coughing, swelling, fever, skin rashes, hives, and gastrointestinal issues.

Natural Remedies for Allergies

Treatment for allergies depends on the cause and severity of the reaction. Mild cases can be treated with natural remedies such as essential oils, probiotics, honey, nasal irrigation, acupuncture, and dietary additives. Persistent or severe reactions may require antihistamine drugs, epinephrine injections, or other medical interventions.

That said, there’s really no way out of an allergy. The best remedy for any allergy is avoiding the allergen in the first place. For instance, if you know you’re allergic to cashews, avoid foods containing cashews.

Fighting Allergies with ZMedicAir

The solution to your allergies could be a surprisingly simple one—an air purifier. But not just any air purifier. The ZMedicAir is a revolutionary new device with a 3-stage filter and a patent-protected low-dose singlet oxygen generator.

The powerful filter gets rid of even the tiniest particles and microbes in the air that might trigger allergic reactions. During an allergic reaction, various biochemical processes produce huge amounts of oxygen radicals that contribute to inflammation and tissue damage. Once inhaled, the singlet oxygen reacts with the oxygen radicals, easing inflammation and reducing tissue damage.

Furthermore, singlet oxygen stimulates healthy immune functions and tissue repair. Plus, it increases oxygen levels in the blood, much like oxygen therapy for allergies. This further relieves allergic symptoms and speeds up recovery from flare-ups.

Frequently asked questions

Do air purifiers help with allergies?

Most air purifiers remove up to 99.99% of air pollutants, including particulates and microbes as small as 0.3 microns. These airborne pollutants comprise known allergens such as volatile organic compounds, aerosols, mold spores, dust, and smoke.

 

Besides ridding the air of allergens, ZMedicAir helps relieve allergic symptoms. The device produces low concentrations of singlet oxygen, which, when inhaled, reduces the inflammation caused by allergic reactions.

Does an air purifier help with congestion?

Simply put, clean air is easier to breathe. An air purifier removes harmful air pollutants and irritants, making breathing easier and safer. Plus, purifying indoor air minimizes the risk of allergy-induced congestion and other breathing problems in the first place.

 

In addition to cleaning the air, ZMedicAir stimulates healthy immune functions to help the body clear congestion naturally.

Does an air purifier help with cough?

Coughing is usually a response to aerial pollutants, such as smoke, pollen, and spores, irritating the lungs or trachea. Running an air purifier indoors eliminates these cough-inducing irritants from the air.

 

With ZMedicAir, you get clean, singlet oxygen-enriched air that suppresses coughs by reducing inflammation and congestion in the nasal cavity, airways, and lungs.

Do air purifiers help with skin allergies?

Poor air quality is directly linked to irritable skin conditions such as eczema, acne, and rashes. Air purifiers capture harmful particulates and microbes before they get a chance to touch your skin and cause allergic reactions.

 

ZMedicAir produces singlet oxygen using a patented world-first technology. The singlet oxygen is released in low concentrations and quickly reverts to regular oxygen, creating mild oxidative conditions for skin allergies.

Do air purifiers help with itching?

Air purifiers trap particles that can trigger allergic flare-ups, such as itching, tenderness, and redness on the skin. In fact, clean indoor air can help keep your skin clear, well-hydrated, and healthy.

 

ZMedicAir offers instantaneous relief from itching by creating a mild indoor atmosphere with trace amounts of harmless anti-inflammatory singlet oxygen molecules.

How do air purifiers help allergies?

One study found that by drastically lowering indoor particulate matter, air purifiers reduced the medical requirements for patients with rhinitis allergies. Actually, the same can be said about most allergies.

 

ZMedicAir does even more than that. Using a patent-protected technology, ZMedicAir generates trace amounts of singlet oxygen that provide allergy relief.

Can allergies lower blood oxygen?

Some allergies, such as rhinitis and hay fever, irritate the airways, causing inflammation, swelling, and nasal congestion. Such allergic reactions block airflow into the lungs, resulting in low oxygen concentration in the bloodstream.

 

The singlet oxygen produced by the ZMedicAir device helps the body restore its natural physiological functions, thus enabling the immune system to combat the underlying condition responsible for anemia while stimulating the production of healthy red blood cells.
