The question of whether lowering cortisol is useful for allergies cannot be answered with evidence from the provided context. Cortisol is a natural hormone with anti-inflammatory properties; in allergy treatment, synthetic glucocorticoids (cortisone) are commonly used to suppress immune overreactions. Lowering endogenous cortisol could theoretically worsen allergic symptoms. The context only mentions a blog post about lowering cortisol with magnesium, but no studies or guidelines on allergies. The evidence is unclear. For allergies, rely on medically prescribed antihistamines, corticosteroids, or immunotherapy. Self-directed hormonal manipulation is not advised.
