Essential oils are volatile liquids extracted from plants that can be used in various ways like inhalation, baths, and massages. They are made through distillation or expression of plant materials and can contain hundreds of biochemical components like terpenes, alcohols, aldehydes, acids, esters, ketones, lactones, oxides, and phenols that give them therapeutic properties such as being anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antimicrobial. Essential oils evaporate quickly when exposed to air with higher temperatures causing faster evaporation.

Natural allergens op verma
Natural Allergens are substances that cause an immunological reaction in sensitive individuals. There are several types of natural allergens including inhalant, ingestant, injectant, contact, and infectant allergens. Inhalant allergens like pollen and dust enter the body through the respiratory tract and can cause symptoms like sneezing, coughing, and asthma. Ingestant allergens like certain foods are swallowed and can provoke reactions in the gastrointestinal tract or skin. Injectant allergens from bee stings or medications can trigger itching and rashes. Contact allergens on the skin or mucous membranes may induce dermatitis. Infectant allergens are caused
Natural allergens - Definition , classification, drugs
This document discusses various types of allergens and fungal toxins. It provides information on natural allergens like pollens and dander that can cause allergic reactions. It categorizes allergens as inhalant, ingestant, injectant, contactant, and infectant based on their route of exposure and describes examples and symptoms for each category. The document also discusses photosensitizing agents that can cause photosensitivity reactions. Finally, it covers several mycotoxins or fungal toxins like aflatoxin, sterigmatocystin, ergot toxin, and ochratoxin that are toxic metabolites produced by molds and their health effects.
Plant allergens and herbal antiallergic drugs
The document discusses allergens and herbal treatments for allergies. It defines allergens and allergies, and describes the types of allergens and receptors responsible for allergic reactions. The mechanism of allergies involving immunoglobulin E is explained. Several plant allergens are outlined, including the plant name, family, active compounds, and type of allergic reaction caused. Finally, various herbal treatments for allergies are presented, including their anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, and decongestant properties.
Allergens
This document defines different types of allergens and treatments for allergies. It discusses that allergens are substances that cause allergic reactions. It then describes natural treatments for allergies like quercetin, stinging nettle, and saline rinses. Skin tests are used to identify allergens through prick, injection, or patch tests. The document categorizes allergens as inhalant, ingestant, contactant, injectant, infectant, and infestant based on their route of exposure and provides examples of common allergens that fall into each category.
(Allergy) pharmacognosy
Allergy occurs when the immune system reacts to normally harmless substances called allergens. Common allergens include pollen, dust mites, animal dander, foods and medications. The immune system produces IgE antibodies that mistakenly identify allergens as harmful. When a person is exposed to an allergen, the antibodies trigger an inflammatory response causing allergy symptoms. Allergies can be classified based on the route of exposure such as inhaled, ingested or contact allergens. Skin testing and blood tests can help identify specific allergens causing a person's symptoms. Treatments include avoidance of allergens and medications that reduce inflammation.

Allergy
The document discusses different types of allergies including food allergies, drug allergies, and chemical allergies. It provides examples of common allergens like milk, coffee, metals, acids, and enzymes that can cause immune system reactions through IgE antibodies and the release of histamine from mast cells. The mechanisms of primary and secondary exposure are described, where the first exposure sensitizes the immune system and subsequent exposures trigger an allergic response through antigen-antibody reactions. Common symptoms of different types of allergies are also outlined.
Lexidex-M
This document discusses Lexidex-M, a medication containing loratadine and montelukast used to treat allergic reactions. It describes allergic reactions as an overreaction of the immune system to substances like pollen or dust. Allergens cause inflammation by producing histamine and leukotrienes which bind to receptors in the respiratory system. Lexidex-M works by having loratadine bind to H1 receptors to inhibit histamine secretion while montelukast blocks leukotriene receptors to prevent inflammation in the airways. The medication is indicated for seasonal allergic rhinitis, asthma prophylaxis, and nasal polyps, and has a dosage of 4mg once daily

Allergy assignment
The document discusses allergies, defining them as immune responses to normally harmless substances. It describes common allergen types like pollen, dust, foods and identifies symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes. Allergens are classified by their route of exposure - inhaled, injected, ingested, contacted. Diagnosis involves skin prick or patch tests. Treatment includes avoidance, medications like antihistamines, decongestants, steroids and immunotherapy injections.
Pollen allergy
Pollens are tiny particles released from plants during pollination that can cause allergies in some people. An allergy is an immune system response to a normally harmless foreign substance. Key allergens include pollen proteins that are released from plants and trigger an immune response involving immunoglobulin E and mast cells that leads to allergy symptoms. Diagnosis methods include skin prick tests and RAST blood tests to identify specific allergens, while treatments involve antihistamines, decongestants, immunotherapy, and preventing exposure to allergens.

Allergies are abnormal responses to harmless substances called allergens. Common allergens include pollen, dust, animal dander, foods, medications, and cosmetics. Allergic reactions can be localized to the site of contact or generalized throughout the body. Symptoms depend on the type of allergen and include sneezing, itchy eyes, skin rashes, and potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis. Allergies are caused by an overactive immune system producing antibodies called IgE to normally harmless substances. Genetics, environment, and other factors influence a person's susceptibility to developing allergies.

Aromatherapy- Durgashree Diwakar
Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils for therapeutic benefit.
Aromatherapy has been used for centuries.
When inhaled, the scent molecules in essential oils travel from the olfactory nerves directly to the brain and especially impact the amygdala, the emotional center of the brain.
Aromatherapy derived its name from the word aroma, which means fragrance or smell, and therapy which means treatment. This therapy is a natural way of healing a person’s mind, body, and soul.
Literature survey reveals that this therapy has gained a lot of attention in the late 20th century and is very popular in the 21st century too, and due to its importance, popularity, and widespread use, it is recognized as aroma science therapy.
