I like it when medical things are explained to me in simple terms. How can stem cells help with allergies?
In short, stem cells can have immunomodulatory properties, meaning they can influence how the immune system responds to irritants, reducing inflammation and excessive activation. This differs from conventional antihistamines, which simply block certain signals. A blog I read (https://ways2well.com/blog/stem-cell-treatment-for-allergies-a-new-approach-to-relief) explains quite simply that this type of therapy aims to change the immune system's response to trigger allergens, rather than just suppressing symptoms. In other words, instead of just fighting the effects, the idea is to influence the "source" of the body's reaction. But it is worth remembering that such approaches are still being actively studied and are not always available as standard treatment.
