The Gentler Approach: Homeopathy Treatment for Allergy Management

The transitioning season can often trigger our immune system’s reaction to allergens which can plague our lives to such an extent that it disrupts the smooth functioning of our daily activities. Are you someone who keeps suffering from nasal, skin or food allergies? The thing about allergies is that the flare-up reasons might individualistically vary. It is important to identify the allergen involved when allergic reactions start to occur.  Homeopathy has shown potent results in getting to the root of these individual predispositions that cause allergic reactions. In this discussion, we will cover how homeopathy treatment for allergy is conducive to doing away with the internal imbalances in the immune system, in the most gentle and natural ways.

Why are so many people switching to homeopathy for allergy treatment?

• Since allergies are hypersensitive reactions, it is imperative that the approach we take is not just effective but also nurtures our immune system.
• Homeopathic medications are mostly plant and mineral-based.
• The pharmaceutical process filters out the toxins, if any, so that the medications provided for treatments are mild and safe for all people, including pregnant women and children.
• Homeopathic remedies that are best suited to a particular patient are chosen based on the symptoms and characteristics narrated by each patient. The practitioner prescribes a tailored course of treatment, based on an individual’s medical history, constitutional traits and the symptoms of the allergy.
• Homeopathy is minimally invasive and ensures a positive and long-lasting relief that cures even the most acute cases of allergy by extracting the underlying causes.
• In the case of allergies, homeopathy treats the condition on three levels – skin, respiratory and gastrointestinal; successfully and without side effects.

It is important to identify the allergens first. Let’s have a look.
Allergies are both perennial and seasonal. Perennial allergies occur throughout the year, but seasonal allergies are season-specific. For example, Hay fever, triggered by pollens, is a common allergic reaction during the spring season.
So, which are the other allergens that may cause nuisance to your day-to-day lives?

• Dust mites, animal dander, hair dyes.
• Certain food items like eggs, peanuts, milk and dairy products, wheat, soy, tomatoes, eggplant, alcohol, and
• Mould spores and certain plants.
• Certain foods, additives, processed food, artificial preservatives, colouring, flavour-enhancing agents, yeast and antibiotics.
• Perfumes and cosmetics
• Conventional medications (e.g., aspirin, sulfa drugs, penicillin), blood transfusion.
• Synthetic and natural substances like pesticides, nickel, and
• Insect stings, like that of bees and wasps.

The incidence of allergies has risen over the years. Why is that?
About 40% of people test positive for one or more allergens, and this percentage is significantly increasing. The prevalence of allergic diseases such as asthma, hay fever, allergic rhinitis (nasal allergy), food allergies and sensitivities, and atopic dermatitis (eczema) has increased over the last 30 years. It has been observed that 50 people per 1,000 in all age groups report having a nasal allergy, indicating the prevalence of clinically recognized allergy problems. But sometimes, dietary sensitivities or allergies need to be recognized or addressed appropriately.

Research has shown some of the cumulative causes as to why the incidence of allergies has drastically gone up during the last few decades:

• The likelihood of acquiring allergies is increased in early life by either living in an extremely protected environment with very low infection rates or a low hygiene threshold.
• Reduction in breast-feeding. Breast-feeding helps children build up their immunity, over the years.
• Pollutants, contaminated air and particulate matter from automobile exhaust.
• Smoke from cigarettes and tobacco.
• Vitamin D insufficiency.
• Lower risk of contracting parasitic diseases in developed nations. The immune system reacts to innocuous allergens because of this.

When dust triggers your sneezing reflex, the mast cells in your body deposit immunoglobulin-E (IgE) antibodies into the tissues causing the allergic reaction. This manifests in the form of a skin rash, watery eyes, sneezing, runny nose, sinusitis, cough, wheezing, or heightened, flagrant symptoms that end up in anaphylaxis, a detrimental form of allergic reaction.

The prevalence of food allergies or food sensitivity is rising at an alarming rate. Other than the traditional symptoms, food-based allergy disorders are frequently misdiagnosed or mistreated. In disorders like ADHD, urticaria, Meniere’s disease, migraines, asthma, atopic dermatitis, and IBS, food allergies play a crucial role, aggravating the conditions.
