Allergies are abnormal reactions by the body to substances that are generally harmless. In today’s world, allergies are becoming increasingly common. Common triggers include dust, pet dander, pollen, mold, and certain foods such as milk, eggs, wheat, and nuts. When someone sensitive to these allergens is exposed, they may experience symptoms like sneezing, itching, a runny nose, skin rashes, or even breathing difficulties. Allergies can vary in severity, sometimes affecting daily life and overall well-being.
Allergies occur when the immune system becomes overactive and mistakenly identifies harmless substances as harmful. Various factors, including genetics, environmental influences, and frequent exposure to allergens, contribute to the development of allergies. Once the immune system becomes sensitized to a particular allergen, even minimal exposure can trigger an abnormal reaction and uncomfortable symptoms.
People with allergies often experience a range of symptoms, depending on their sensitivity and the type of allergen involved. These symptoms can include sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy or watery eyes, skin rashes, and respiratory issues such as wheezing or shortness of breath.
The aim of homeopathy treatment for allergies is to relieve the symptoms and help strengthen the immune system, enabling it to handle allergens more effectively.
When treating allergies with homeopathy, I first assess the individual’s symptoms, medical history, and any mental or emotional stress factors. Based on this, I prescribe a remedy that addresses the full range of the patient’s symptoms.
Along with the homeopathic remedy, I also advise patients to adopt a balanced lifestyle. This includes minimising exposure to allergens, managing stress, maintaining a healthy diet, and creating a supportive environment to enhance long-term well-being.
If the individual is on any other medication, homeopathy can work alongside that in a complementary and supportive way.
