Additionally, they can carry irritating chemicals such as heavy metals and hydrocarbons or transport allergens like pollen or mold, potentially triggering allergic reactions and oxidative stress.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-f11d453\" id=\"strong-targeted-remedies-for-pollution-induced-conjunctivitis-strong\" data-block-id=\"f11d453\"><style>.stk-f11d453{margin-bottom:16px !important}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><strong>Targeted Remedies for Pollution-Induced Conjunctivitis<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p>Cortisone and antihistamines are usually the first conventional remedies suggested, but they often fail to resolve the issue when the root cause is allergenic-toxic, as in the case of <strong>pollution-induced conjunctivitis<\/strong>. Even if inflammation is reduced to some extent, the toxicological effects of pollutants continue to act, leading to persistent irritation.<\/p>\n\n<p>A simple first step is to regularly rinse your eyes with isotonic saline solutions (available at pharmacies) to help remove any irritating particles. Additionally, maintaining proper humidity levels in indoor environments, whether at home or at work, can help alleviate symptoms.<\/p>\n\n<p>Clinical practice, however, suggests some very effective remedies for reducing the inflammatory effects of pollution by working from within and improving the toxicological profile. <strong>Black Currant Oil <\/strong>and <strong>Perilla Oil<\/strong>, for example, have a significant anti-inflammatory effect, without the need to continuously resort to corticosteroid remedies, which have important contraindications.<\/p>\n\n<p>Formulations that combine the anti-inflammatory effects of minerals like <strong>Manganese, Zinc, and Copper<\/strong> with the antioxidant and toning effectiveness of Selenium and Vitamin C can be useful adjuncts to support the immune system.<\/p>\n\n<p>Nature also provides fruits and vegetables with powerful anti-pollution properties during this time, such as cruciferous vegetables. In particular, <strong>broccoli, cabbage, and kale<\/strong>, thanks to the presence of sulfur compounds, are the vegetables that most stimulate the active removal of pollutants from the body. They are complemented by the antioxidant action of all vegetables that contain Vitamin C, especially citrus fruits and kiwi.<\/p>\n\n<p>A preparation based on <strong>Italic broccoli extract <\/strong> also helps activate immune system cells (macrophages) that are responsible for clearing the body of foreign substances, thus facilitating the removal of combusted substances and pollutant particles.<\/p>\n\n<p>For <strong>persistent forms of conjunctivitis<\/strong>, it is advisable to monitor glycation levels. Excessive intake of sugars (as well as alcohol and sweeteners) can alter the structure and functionality of certain cells in our body responsible for recognizing external agents, triggering an excessive alarm in the immune system. This also occurs at the mucosal level, including the conjunctiva.<\/p>\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/glyco-medical-program\/\">Glyco Medical Program<\/a>, by measuring levels of methylglyoxal and glycated albumin, allows for the assessment of whether there is a level of sugar-induced inflammation sufficient to cause this phenomenon. For example, dust mites or dust that were previously perfectly tolerated can suddenly trigger a &#8220;sugar-induced&#8221; conjunctivitis.<\/p>\n\n<p>The nutritional recommendations included in the report will help bring glycation levels under control, promoting the restoration of immune system balance and controlling inflammation in the conjunctiva.<\/p>\n\n<p><em>Edited by <a
