Salicylate intolerance or sensitivity
includes any side effects that
occur when any derivatives of salicylic
acid are introduced into the body.
Salicylates are found naturally in
plants and act to protect them from
diseases, insects, fungi and bacteria.
The salicylates act as preservatives
through a natural immune hormone.
Salicylates are also commonly
found in many personal care, skin
care, medications (such as aspirin
types) and of course, in products containing
plants.
Everyone knows that large consumption
of aspirin types of medications
are harmful. But for those who
have an intolerance to it, even small
amounts of salicylic acid can be dangerous
with many adverse reactions.
