Allergies
List of possible allergens:
International Union of Immunological Societies, Allergen Nomenclature http://www.allergen.org
Food Allergies and how to manage them http://www.foodallergy.org/
In case of nut allergies, please mention this to us at time of ordering. We will make a Custom blend if your child is known to be allergic to certain specific items or you wish simply to be safe. We can send the Synergy in Jojoba or Safflower oil or any other oil previously used and if necessary eliminate any of the essential oils that may have irritated the child previously.
If there is no reaction with the custom mix, we will send a larger quantity or even redo the mix if there is.
While peanut allergies are on top, eight foods account for 90% of allergic reactions: peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shell-fish, eggs, milk, soya and wheat. Cell rejuvenating Wheatgerm oil was initially eliminated because of higher incidence of gluten-allergies.
Hypoallergenic Oils include: Borage, Coconut (fractionated), Evening primrose, Grapeseed, Jojoba, Safflower
Grapeseed is perhaps the least therapeutically useful, as it is so highly refined that it has little if any nutritional value to the skin; however, it is considered a safe hypoallergenic medium.
Fractionated Coconut oil has very few reported instances of allergy and where this has occurred it has been attributed to cross-reactivity with walnut.
Jojoba is a liquid wax and not a plant oil and heals inflamed skin and wounds and regulates sebum balance in skin and scalp
Safflower oil is high in polyunsaturates, and is rich in the Omega-6 essential fatty acids. It is also a good source of Vitamin E .
Article: Nut Allergies in Children
Causes for the apparent increase in peanut allergy in children. Three major peanut proteins cause allergy
Most individuals with peanut allergy avoid eating both the nuts and the oil. However, as highly processed oils do not contain much protein, it is assumed that peanut allergic people may consume it. Experts disagree, especially in the case of infants and children; researchers in 1994 reported peanut oil was worsened an eczematous rash.
Differences in the way peanuts are prepared may be contributing to increasing prevalence and geographic variability of allergy. Most peanuts in the US are dry roasted, whereas peanuts in China and India, where peanut allergy is rare, are typically boiled or fried. The higher temperature of dry-roasting increases the allergenicity of the peanut proteins more than the lower temperature in boiling or frying.
The specific causes of the rising peanut allergy and why it appears to be confined to westernised countries remain uncertain. Maternal diets are often cited as playing a role. As reactions require previous exposure for sensitisation to occur, it has been suggested that peanut protein is encountered in utero or through breast milk.
However, some researchers hold the view that food avoidance strategies in pregnancy have no effect on sensitisation. According to research, maternal ingestion of peanuts and tree nuts whilst pregnant and/or breastfeeding is not the cause of increased allergies. Rather, Lack suggests, it is the use of skin creams containing peanut oil, to treat nappy rash, eczema or other inflammatory skin conditions in babies, which may lead to childhood peanut allergy.
Skin inflammation favours sensitisation
When the skin is damaged, for example in eczema, large numbers of immunologically active cells are exposed to allergenic substances. Lack's study found, that children with inflamed skin conditions had higher rates of allergy. The worse the condition, the more likely the allergy, suggesting that exposure through inflamed skin is a cause of sensitisation. Interviews with parents revealed that almost all of the children with confirmed peanut allergy were exposed to creams containing peanut oil in their first six months. Overall, these preparations increased the risk of allergy seven times. In addition, other children with peanut allergy were exposed as infants to a significantly greater number of skin products containing peanut oil compared to atopic and normal controls. According to Lack even refined peanut oil may contain ultra-low levels of peanut proteins that could be sufficient to elicit a positive sensitisation response in certain infants and young children.
Which oils are safe?
Vegetable oils are produced from a botanically diverse range of plant species. Unlike grass pollen allergy where cross-reactivity has been identified as being botanically related, nut allergy does not seem to follow such relationships, making it impossible to predict accurately cross-reactivity. Therefore, in the case of a history of a nut allergy, it is advisable to assume allergy to a range of nuts and seeds and avoid those from known allergenic plants.
Particular care for cases:
- In the case of nut or food allergic individuals
- Where there is a family history of nut or food allergy, asthma, hay fever or eczema
- On broken or inflamed skin, for example nappy rash
- In the case of atopic children, extreme care should be taken to avoid oil from the skin of other family members or carers touching the skin of the child
Safe Oils include: Borage, Coconut (fractionated), Evening primrose, Grapeseed, Jojoba, Safflower
