Allergies are felt at the dawn of spring but it is good to never lower your guard, even in summer, because allergens have their seasons.

In nature we have a valid help from the buds of a small shrub, the blackcurrant, which are used for the realization of the glycerine macerated, the Ribes Nigrum, which has an antiallergic and anti-inflammatory and tonic-energetic action .

Ribes Nigrum is in fact indicated for allergic syndromes, such as hives, allergic dermatitis, bronchial asthma, conjunctivitis and allergic rhinitis.

It also works as a cortisone-like and is useful in case of general and local inflammations, such as arthrosis, arthritis, rheumatism, sunburn.

Ribes Nigrum and allergens

Ribes Nigrum acts as a natural antihistamine in case of allergies . What does it mean? When allergens come into contact with our body, the immune system triggers a reaction in sensitive individuals.

It produces histamine, a sort of sentinel that alarms the immune system because it has come into contact with an external "enemy". The antihistamine modulates the production of histamine thus reducing the allergic response. The

Ribes Nigrum behaves in this way without bringing with it the side effects of exhaustion and drowsiness .

Ribes Nigrum in gemmoderivato can be used in synergy with other glycerine macerates to combat specific allergies:

> Alnus glutinosa : is the gemmoderivato of the Black Alder with anti-inflammatory properties and in synergy with Ribes Nigrum is indicated for forms of hives, food allergies and allergic asthma

> Juglans Regia : it is the bud-derived of Noce with anti-infective and anti-inflammatory properties and in synergy with Ribes Nigrum it is indicated for forms of eczema and persistent itching.

> Viburnum Lantana : is the Viburnum bud derivative with anti-asthmatic, spasmolytic, anti-allergic properties of the respiratory tract and in synergy with Ribes Nigrum it is indicated in case of asthma.

Ribes Nigrum also performs a diuretic action, helps deflate the body from retention also caused by the use of cortisone and at the same time plays an anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic action.

It is useful in case of sun erythema to quell the inflammation of the skin, so go ahead to Ribes Nigrum even in summer!
