Therapeutic Anti-Allergy Devices

This 'Allergy Reliever' Uses Light Therapy to Reduce Symptoms

— April 14, 2016 — Lifestyle
The 'Allergy Reliever' from LloydsPharmacy is a small device that can be used to reduce symptoms like a runny nose and watery eyes, which plague many people who suffer from allergies. The simple device uses red light therapy in order to suppress cells that release histamine and cause allergic reactions and symptoms.

The device has two prongs that are meant to be inserted into the nostrils in order to provide the most concentrated treatment. While this unit can only serve one individual at a time, it is possible to purchase replacement nose probes for multi-person use.

This Allergy Reliever device is especially good for those who experience hayfever and allergic rhinitis. Although this solution is drug-free, LloydsPharmacy notes that it can be used alongside medication if needed.
Trend Themes
1. Light Therapy for Allergies - There is a growing trend in using light therapy to reduce symptoms of allergies, offering a non-medication-based solution.
2. Individualized Allergy Relief - The development of small, portable devices like the Allergy Reliever allows individuals to treat their allergy symptoms on-the-go.
3. Combining Treatments for Allergies - The use of the Allergy Reliever device alongside traditional medication opens up new opportunities for comprehensive allergy relief.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare - The healthcare industry can explore the potential of integrating light therapy into allergy treatment options, providing more options for patients.
2. Pharmaceutical - Pharmaceutical companies can consider developing similar non-medicated devices for allergy sufferers, tapping into the growing demand for alternative treatments.
3. Wellness and Personal Care - The wellness industry can incorporate light therapy devices like the Allergy Reliever into their products, offering relief for individuals seeking natural solutions for allergy symptoms.
