Most allergies involve the release of histamine and other substances that produce inflammation, this acts like a blow torch on your body. Your body's first defense mechanism is to make cortisol to put out the fire (inflammation). Your body must have enough cortisol circulating or at least available in order to control the level of inflammatory reactions in the body. It is easy to understand that your first line of defense the healthy adrenal function plays an important role in controlling the allergic-histamine release and inflammatory reactions that produce allergy symptoms.
When your adrenals are fatigued, and they do not or cannot make enough cortisol to stop the allergic reactions you may notice that you have more allergies or your allergies get worse.
The more histamine your body makes, the harder the adrenals have to work to produce enough cortisol, the more fatigued the adrenals become. It is very common that people with food and environmental allergies also have adrenal fatigue. This causes a repeating downward spiral of lower cortisol allowing histamine to inflame the tissues more, leading to more adrenal fatigue and causing bigger allergic reactions.
Actively supporting your adrenal glands and eliminating or reducing your exposure to foods and other substances that cause allergic or sensitivity reactions can help break this cycle as well as strengthen adrenal function.
