Ox-eye daisy, also known as goldenseal, is a plant that is used to produce several medicines. It is believed to help treat bronchitis, fever, cough, common cold, sore throat and mouth, gallbladder and liver troubles, muscle spasms, loss of appetite, infections and fluid retention issues. It is usually take in the form of a tonic.
Some individuals use ox-eye daisy directly by applying it on the skin over wounds, swelling, and burns. In spite of its multiple benefits, ox-eye daisy can also lead to allergic reactions in some individuals who are sensitive or intolerant to the Compositae/Asteraceae family. So, this would include an allergy to plants like ragweed, marigolds, chrysanthemums, daisies, etc.
Any minor contact with the stem, leaf, pollen or flower of these certain plants can cause symptoms of dermatitis, eczema, etc. If a person breathes in the ox-eye daisy pollen, then the immune system may act up and result in several symptoms, like:
- Shortness of breath
- Tightness or pain in the chest
- Wheezing (a whistling noise while breathing)
- Difficulty in breathing
- Coughing
- Sneezing
- Itchy palate and throat
- Itchy, runny or stuffed nose
- Watery, irritable, red eyes
- Hay fever
- Sinus infections
- Extreme tiredness
- Asthma
Since it’s hard to diagnose an allergy caused by flowers and pollens, it would be best to keep a diary record of your symptoms to offer more insights to your doctor. Make sure to record the following information about your ox-eye daisy allergy symptoms whenever they occur:
- When you are at home, outside or both
- During the day, night or right after you wake up
- When you are near animals
- After consuming a particular drink or food
- After eating any herbal medicine
- After you have eaten a specific medication
- When you get bitten by an insect
- During a certain time of the year
- For a short or long duration
If you notice any symptoms or suspect yourself to be having an ox-eye daisy allergy, you should connect with your healthcare practitioner. Your doctor will likely order an ox-eye daisy allergy test to measure the level of antibodies present in your blood which only happens when the ox-eye daisy allergen induces it.
So, getting this test will help:
- Detect if you have ox-eye daisy allergy
- If so, what is the count of IgE antibodies in your blood?
- Define the allergen that’s causing the symptoms, allergic disease or anaphylactic episode
- Confirm any sensitisations before beginning immunotherapy
- Investigate the specific allergic reaction to drugs, insect venom and chemical allergens
