Clove and Black Cumin: The Perfect Combination Against Allergies in Dogs

About 15% of all dogs worldwide suffer from an allergy. Often, this causes the dog to experience itching on the head or paws. The plant-based compounds from the clove plant and the black cumin plant are an excellent support for allergic dogs. This is because these natural extracts address both the cause and the effects of an allergy. How does that work?

The active components of the clove plant are cannabinoids, which play an important signaling role in the body. These compounds transmit messages between cells in the body, promoting balance and healing. Your dog's body can utilize a wide variety of plant-derived cannabinoids for this purpose. When this signaling system (EDS) functions well, the dog is balanced, resilient, and the body's self-healing ability is enhanced. The active substance in the black cumin plant is called thymoquinone. This is one of the most powerful medicinal compounds derived from plants that we know of. In recent years, scientists have been discovering more and more about the unique properties of thymoquinone.

Black Cumin

An allergic reaction occurs when histamine is released from the cells of your dog's immune system. This is a response to an irritating substance, such as pollen or a mosquito bite. The immune system sometimes overreacts, leading to an allergic reaction. Thymoquinone from black cumin blocks the release of histamine during allergic reactions. With less histamine released, there is also less itching and discomfort for your dog. Does your dog already suffer from itching and skin problems due to atopy or another allergic reaction? Black cumin also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

Clove Reduces Inflammation and Supports the Immune System

Clove also works in two ways against allergies in your dog. Firstly, clove is anti-inflammatory. An allergic reaction and the release of histamine cause many small inflammations, for example, in the skin or nasal mucosa. Your dog may then experience (even more) itching or start sneezing and sniffling. The cannabinoids (signaling compounds) in the extract of the clove plant combat these inflammations. Additionally, clove helps to restore balance in the body and ensures that the immune system functions properly again. When the immune system is healthier and functions better, it will also react less frequently and excessively to irritating substances. Consequently, you will see fewer severe allergic reactions in your dog. Moreover, the cannabinoids from clove can help maintain your dog's resilience, for example, during periods of stress or when shedding. And with sufficient cannabinoids, the body's natural healing ability also improves, so skin spots heal faster.

Perfect Collaboration

A combined approach is often the best strategy for allergies. You want to eliminate the cause of the allergic reaction while simultaneously reducing the effects of the allergy, such as itching and skin spots. Clove and black cumin together achieve this, and the cannabinoids from clove and thymoquinone from black cumin complement each other. Together, they form the perfect combination against allergic reactions in your dog.
