SNEEZING…IT COULD BE ALLERGY – HOMEOPATHY

| January 2, 2009 | 12 Comments

Its spring time and the weather is great outside, but for many it is not a very pleasant time of the year. It’s time for their allergies to come up. Nasal and respiratory allergies are very intense in this weather (from March to early May). Sneezing, runny nose, watery and itchy eyes and even breathing problems can be a part of this allergic reaction.

Wheat harvesting in April becomes a major source for triggering this kind of allergy. Wheat harvest allergy not only affects those who stay in villages and near farms but also those who stay in cities, as wheat thrashing dust is carried by wind to nearby cities and towns too. Homeopathy has a wonderful treatment for spring allergy. Not only does it treat the current symptoms but also gradually eradicates the tendency to have such recurrent attacks every year.

Hay fever or seasonal allergic rhinitis, as it is called, is most commonly caused by tree and grass pollens and also wheat thrashing dust. It is characterised by symptoms of sneezing, itchy and watery eyes, runny nose and a burning or itchy sensation in the throat or palate. Coughing and sore throat may also be present in some individuals. Some patients develop asthmatic symptoms like breathing difficulties along with other symptoms of allergic rhinitis.

Homeopathy aims at treating the patient by optimising the overactive immune system. It works by giving a similar stimulus to the body like that of the allergen (pollen dust, etc) in very minute but activated form. This process gradually desensitises the overactive immune system against the allergens.

Quite a few of the homeopathic medicines used in treating allergies are made from plants whose pollens are known to cause symptoms of allergy. The most common example is the ragweed, which is also used as an important homeopathic medicine in treating allergy.

The most common homeopathic medicines used in treating hay fever are Sabadilla, Allium Cepa, Natrum Mur, Ambrosia and Arsenic Album. Allium Cepa requires a special mention in treating spring allergic rhinitis. Histaminum, Luffa Operculata and Galphimia Glauca are a few of the medicines that have been lately introduced in homeopathy and have shown very promising results in treating allergy.

    I am suffering from Nephrotic Syndrome since 1998 and have become steroid
    dependant. I am susceptible to cold and suffer from allergic conditions of cold
    with runny noses and non stop sneezing.Following this condition my protein
    level in urine rises leading to swelling of face.To treat this condition I am given
    higher doses of Prednisolone daily for a certain period and the doses are
    gradually reduced when protein level becomes nil.Lately, there has been improvement after taking Ambrosia,Sabadilla,Allium Cepa & Natrum Mur. Should
    I also take Arsenic Alb ? Please help.

    Primarily ,I am in a touring job,which is why I need to adjust with different climatic conditions.For the last 7-8 years ,I have had developed sneezing problem coupled with watery eyes and itching at times.To get redress,I often take recourse to anti-histamine tablets flomist nasal spray so as to counter the ailment.Despite having followed all the cleanliness measures,no long term respite I have arrived yet.. My father was an asthama patient so I am little apprehensive.Please,please suggest some medicines so that I may get permanent relief.

    Dear Sir,
    I am suffering from sneezing and running nose problem from last 5 years. This problem starts, whenever there is suddent weather change. This running nose does not stop at least for 3-4 days. With running nose headache, bodyache and slight fever is common every time. Once I tried a medicine (mox) as suggested by a physician. By taking the medicine the running nose stopped after 6-8 hours but lot of pimples occured on nose and took a form of abscess. In the same way next time I tried a home medicine (Turmeric with hot milk) to stop sneezing, this time also after 12 hours running nose and sneezing completely stopped but again lot of pimples developed inside and outside the nose and took a form of abscess. Can you please tell me whether this is due to some aleregy or something else. If it is aleregy then please suggest me the best treatment through homeopathy. Really I will be very greatfull for your suggestion.
    Regards
    Dr. Diwakar Singh
