Is it or is it not an allergy? Let’s find out more!🤧

An allergy happens when your immune system reacts to something harmless as if it’s a real threat. The result? An allergic reaction.

🌿 The culprits behind this are called allergens, and they can sneak into your body in many ways:
✔️ Through the air (like pollen)
✔️ On your skin
✔️ In your food
✔️ Via insect stings or medicines

Understanding what’s triggering your symptoms is the first step towards relief. Come in-store and speak to us today!
