The sudden appearance of symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy, watery eyes as a result of inhaling pollens is known as pollen allergy. An inflammatory response against the pollen grains is triggered by the immune system of a person allergic to pollen. Of the many substances that can cause a seasonal allergy, pollens remain one of the most common triggers. Pollen is a powdery substance produced by flowers, weeds, trees, and grass. All of us tend to inhale pollens while breathing, and they don’t cause any problem for most of us. However, people who are allergic to pollen grains show the symptoms of an allergy. A pollen allergy is also known as Hay fever, and it usually subsides with the onset of cold weather.
Homeopathic medicines can effectively manage an acute allergic reaction and also work well to treat the chronic tendency towards pollen allergy. Allergic symptoms including sneezing, runny nose, blocked nose, itchy eyes, redness of eye, eye watering, itching in throat, cough can be managed magnificently with the use of homeopathic medicines. Antihistamines, nasal sprays are most commonly used to treat allergic reactions in the conventional system of medicine. While they help deal with an acute allergic reaction, they only work on a short-term, temporary basis. Excessive use of these medications can cause side effects. Homeopathic medicines, on the other hand, have no side effects. Where required in severe cases, like asthma, allopathic medications and antihistamines can be taken to control a severe allergic flare up. However, overuse of conventional medicines like decongestant nasal sprays can cause further problems (like an allergy rebound) and should be used very sparingly.
Homeopathic medicines help in cases of pollen allergy by moderating the overactive immune system. Once the immune system is well moderated, relief sets in. Initially the acute symptoms are relieved wonderfully. Afterwards the chronicity of the complaint is treated. With the use of homeopathic medicines, the intensity and occurrence of the symptoms gradually decrease with every episode. Under the guidance of a homeopathic doctor, most cases recover completely. The results however vary from case to case.
The homeopathic prescription for pollen allergy is totally symptom based. It means the medicine is provided as per the characteristic symptoms in every case after detailed case study. Hence, the homeopathic medication for every case differs so does the potency and repetition of medicine. One should always take homeopathic medicine under the supervision of a homeopath to get best results.
Homeopathic medicines are totally safe and natural remedies for seasonal pollen allergies. They have zero side effects. Besides being safe to use, they cause no suppression at all. This treatment focuses to cure the complaint from its root rather than suppressing symptoms temporarily. Another positive aspect of this treatment is that they never cause any addiction and can be easily discontinued once recovery occurs.

Symptoms of a Pollen Allergy
Since every plant has its own pollinating period, the symptoms of pollen allergies are triggered when the particular plant is producing pollen. A person who is allergic to a specific type of pollen will develop allergic symptoms only when exposed to that particular pollen. The main symptoms of a pollen allergy include:
– A runny nose
– Sneezing
– Watery, itchy, red, swollen eyes
– Itchy, scratchy throat
– Cough
– Asthmatic reaction with wheezing, breathlessness, and coughing
– Worsening of sinusitis complaint
The Mechanism of a Pollen Allergy
When an allergen (like pollen) enters the body of a person with a sensitive immune system, it triggers the production of antibodies to fight the foreign particles. These antibodies are small proteins that lock onto the pollen grains, and they also bind to other white blood cells.
The next time pollen enters the nose; these cells break open to release histamine, which is a chemical released by the body to direct an inflammatory response against the foreign bodies. A large amount of histamine released causes itching, swelling of affected tissues, mucus production, muscle spasms, and other symptoms of an allergy.

This condition is accompanied by an itchy feeling in the eyes, nose and mouth and by profuse thin watery discharge from the nose. My state gets worse in the month of March-April & any change of season though a mild to moderate allergic condition persists throughout the year. Please suggest a homeopathic medicine.

But for the last three year same problem again started though on low density and I usually take Citrazine Tablet once a day. Please advice some Homeo medicine. Gurbir Singh Mohali Punjab

The type of physician I would like to work for is a Pediatrician. Pediatrician’s speltaciy is to work with children. I have been working with children for a long time mainly because I work at a daycare facility. I’ve got to a point where I feel like I can handle anything that will come my way with them. It would also leave me feeling good at the end of the day to know that I have helped in some way to make a child feel better.The type of physician I would not care to work for is a Epidemiologist. Epidemiologist’s specialize in epidemics caused by infections agents and also work with sexually transmitted diseases. I feel if I were to work in this type of speltaciy I would be putting my self at risk of exposure to these infectious agents. Also I would be focusing a lot of my time on trying to not get infected instead of having a steady mind on what I was actually supposed to be doing.
