Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to a foreign substance—such as pollen, bee venom, or pet dander—or a food that doesn´t cause a reaction in most people.
Understanding the color treatment system is crucial as it can guide you in your treatment journey. Each disease or condition is assigned a unique code, which includes a treatment color. This system is designed to help you quickly identify the treatment options for your specific condition, empowering you to take control of your health.
Scroll down the site to find your disease or condition. Then, you look for the treatment color. The treatment colors are magenta (red-blue), blue, cyan (blue-green), green, yellow (red-green), and red. I assign a number to the treatment colors. Magenta = 0, blue = 1, cyan = 2, green = 3, yellow = 4, and red = 5. For instance, Bee and Wasp Sting would be categorized as 00-00-0. Here, the last digit, the treatment color, is magenta. The first two digits are the disease/condition group (Allergies are 00). The next two digits (Bee and Wasp Sting are 00) indicate the illness within the group, and the last digit (magenta is 0) indicates the treatment color. This system can help you quickly identify the treatment options for your specific condition.

Bees (Apidae) and wasps (Vespidae) are venomous, stinging insects in the order Hymenoptera. A honeybee typically attacks only when threatened, delivering a single painful, toxic sting. However, the Africanized ‘killer’ bee is highly aggressive, causing massive bee attacks throughout most of the Americas, where it has become endemic. Wasps are also aggressive, sting to attack, and can sting multiple times.
Churg-Strauss syndrome is a disorder marked by inflammation of blood vessels. This inflammation can restrict blood flow to organs and tissues, sometimes causing permanent damage. The condition is also known as eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). Asthma is the most common presenting feature of Churg-Strauss syndrome.
Signs and symptoms of Churg-Strauss syndrome include fatigue, fever, weight loss, nasal inflammation, cough, shortness of breath, and chest pain.
Eye allergies are allergic reactions that affect the eyes. Allergic eye symptoms are common, affecting about 10% of the population.
Signs and symptoms of allergic reactions involving the eyes can include red (bloodshot) eyes, irritated eyes, itchy eyes, tearing or runny eyes, swollen eyelids, soreness, burning eyes, eye pain, or sensitivity to light.
Hay fever is a term for a seasonal allergic reaction to airborne particles, such as pollen. The medical term for hay fever is allergic rhinitis. This common condition affects up to 30% of the population. Signs and symptoms of hay fever include a runny nose with clear mucus, nasal congestion, watery, itchy eyes, and sneezing.
A latex allergy is an allergic reaction to products containing latex, a substance derived from the sap of a rubber tree. It has been used in various household and medical products. Signs and symptoms of a latex allergy include an itchy, red rash at the site of contact, resembling a poison ivy rash. A more severe type of reaction to latex is anaphylaxis, which can affect the skin, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and circulatory systems.
A makeup allergy is an allergic reaction to any component of cosmetic products. Cosmetics are substances applied to the skin, hair, or nails. They often contain a complex mixture of perfumes, emulsifiers, sunscreens, pigments, metals, resins, preservatives, and various inert materials and botanical products. The face is most commonly affected by makeup allergies. Symptoms and signs of a makeup allergy include a rash that often appears as a dry, swollen, red, scaling, flaking area that may itch.
Nasal congestion, or “stuffy nose,” is an obstruction of airflow through the nose. It most commonly results from inflammation and swelling of the lining tissues in the nasal passages and sinuses. Less commonly, anatomical obstructions, such as a deviated nasal septum or foreign bodies, may cause nasal congestion. Rarely, nasal tumors or chronic medical conditions may cause nasal congestion.
Peanut allergy is an allergic reaction to peanuts or products containing them. It is a relatively common food allergy in developed countries, and most affected individuals are children under age three. Peanut allergy is most likely in individuals with other allergies or a family history of allergies. About 90% of reactions to peanuts occur within 20 minutes of exposure. Signs and symptoms can include skin redness, hives, and itching.
Sensitivity to poison ivy, oak, or sumac is common. Many people develop a characteristic rash after contact with the resin of these plants. The medical term for this condition is allergic contact dermatitis.
Signs and symptoms of a rash from poison ivy, oak, or sumac include a mild, red, bumpy rash that typically resolves within 5 to 12 days. Other symptoms may include intense itching, blistering, and swelling. The rash usually appears on areas of skin that have come into contact with the plants, but it can sometimes develop elsewhere.
