DO you suffer from bouts of frequent sneezes, itchy and runny nose? Do you often wake up sneezing in the morning? Does sneezing and runny nose occur during a particular weather or when there is change of weather? Or, do you wheeze or do your eyes feel itchy with sneezing and runny nose? If you have some or all of these symptoms then you may be suffering from nasal allergy.Nasal allergy, also called allergic rhinitis or hay fever or pollinosis, is an allergic reaction of the body (mainly the upper respiratory tract and eyes) to certain substances – allergens – that we breathe in. The main allergens are pollens, molds, animal dander and dust.Allergy is nothing but an over-sensitisation of our defence system. This means that our immune system (defence system) starts reacting to a substance which is otherwise harmless to our body. In other words, it is a misdirected immune attack.Pollens are usually the main culprits.Homeopathic treatment is based on the principle of “like cures like”. This means if a substance that in its raw state produces a disease condition also has the ability to treat similar symptoms when given in diluted and activated (potentised) form.Thus, a lot many plants whose pollens are the known culprits for this kind of allergy are being used in homeopathy to treat allergic rhinitis. By giving a substance that has similar manifestations, homeopathy is able to optimise the already over-sensitised immune system.Two medicines which represent new advance in homeopathy are Galphimia Glauca and Histaminum Hydrochlo-ride.A US study found Galphimia Glauca to be highly effective in treating allergic rhinitis. Many other very effective plant-based medicines have also been introduced during the last few years: Cardiospermum Halicacabum and Amni Visnaga, for example. Conventional homeopathic medicines like Allium Cepa , Sabadilla , Arundo Mur, Ambrosia and Aralea are also very effective. It is important to remember that homoeopathy is a system where the treatment is based on the patient’s individual symptoms. Thus, each medicine has its own important place in treating allergic rhinitis. It may take a season or two to completely cure allergic rhinitis.With growing industrialisation, our bodies are changing according to the environment .A BMJ (formerly British Medical Journal) report has it that one in six people in the industrialised world suffers from seasonal pollen allergies. Pollution does not cause allergy directly, but is supposed to increase the sensitivity to pollens. In Japan, it was found that the sensitivity to pollens was high in people living in areas with high levels of diesel exhaust particles in the environment. Genetic factors are also supposed to play a role in developing nasal allergy.

Dear Doctor Sharma,
Can you please suggest a homeopathic treatment for my 3 years old son who suffers from allergic rhinitis for almost 2 years? He is allergic to dust, pollen, horses, dogs and hamsters, to biscuits, potatoes and rice. I have given him Nasonex, but it has severe adverse reactions, and I would like to replace it with a homeopathic treatment, if possible. Please help.
Thank you very much,
T.S.

I am having breathing issues since Nov 1. I got a very bad cold back in Aug 30, and recovered from it, but a cough lingered until end of Oct. Then Oct 30, I got a nasty virus that lasted 3 days, that turned into Bronchitis and then Pnemonia. I took antibiotics for it and they said through a catscan of the lungs with iodine contrast, that my lungs looked clear. However, I’ve been to a lung specialist who never tested me for anything, and said that I must have acid reflux by the way I kept burping in his office and that I should take Nexium and all asthma symptoms would dissapear. I went to a gastrointestinal Dr (2 different ones) and one of them thought I needed a sonogram for my gallbladder, just in case. I didn’t take Nexium b/c that garbage sent me to the ER years ago from the side effects. WHAT I DID DO: I started drinking 4 ounces a days of George’s Aloe Vera Liquid, I tried all the different homeopathic things my Homeopathic Dr prescrbed: Arsenic Album, Phosphorus, Carbo Vegetablis, and now Sepia. No real improvements. I have a history of gastritis, the antibiotics did make it flare more, I was under EXTREME stress from July all the way to OCT 30 due to a temporary visitor at our house and then my new job, which I never was able to go back to after Oct 30 due to my current condition…nor would I go if I was well. I’ve never worked under such gross conditions in my life before(both emotionally and physically). I’ve lost 27 pounds due to the fact that I didn’t know what to eat since I kept getting so many restrictions on my diet, from different doctors. I even went one week for accupuncture. I have dark circles under my eyes, lack of sleep. It’s a good night if I sleep all the way to 7am, from midnight. I slept for a month on the couch, on average 2-3 hrs a night and can’t sleep in the day. Last 2 nights, I went to bed at around midnight and woke up at 4:22am wheezing and coughing and gasping for air. I struggled for 2 hours that way, then somehow fell asleep in a awkward postion on my right side propped up with three pillows, and trying to avoid having any pressure on my rib cage or my back, as that leaves me struggling for air. On my left side, I have a rattling and wheezing, on my left side, it’s a more silent wheeze that leaves me gasping for air and starts small stabbing pains in my forehead. I’ve also struggled with an itch for the last 2 years on the left labia of my vagina, which I attributed to stress. A year previous, it was an itch in the anus…again, I said, must be stress. Up until 3 days ago, I had no itching inside the vagina. Now, however, I’ve started to have an itch inside, but not other symptoms down there. I also got tested years ago for allergies, and I have an EXTREME high level of allergy to dust mites. Also, right now in the weather report in my area, the allergy levels for DUST and DANDER is EXTREME HIGH, it says. I don’t know what else to do, I’m desperate for answers and results….I try to be positive during the day, but when I have bowts of these breathing attacks, I almost despair…at night, I’d rather do dishes and clean the kitchen, than go up to bed, because I dread laying down, knowing what is to come, more breathing issues….feeling like I’m drowning in mucus or plugged up. The mucus is sometimes clear, but often times, yellow to dark yellow pus. I also have a metallic taste in my mouth from coughing occasionally. Now, the taste/smell has lessened. I would appreciate ANY advice you may have…desperate and wanting to live again, as I feel my life has stopped due to this..I can’t look for another job..etc. THANK YOU in advance!
sir,
i have been suffering from blocked nose(due to mucous) for the last 10 years,and my problem is limited to working hours, i do not suffer while sleeping .please suggest any remedy for this problem.
Dear Sir,
I have been working and living in Chennai for the last two years. Starting in Jun this year, every morning my nose and throat are full of white, medium thick sputum. After an exhaustive expectoration, nose and throat settle down during the rest of the day and next morning same story.
My doctor says it’s allergic rhinitis on polluted air and recommended ACONITE IM pils.
I kindly ask for your opinion.
Best regards,
Miljenko Radic
Hello Dr,
Appreciate your comments on the below condition of my daughter born here in States. She is 8yrs old, allergic to tree nuts and has been having asthma from her childhood. Whenever there is a damp or cold weather she starts off with runny nose, sneezes, and cough. At her age 3, based on one of the local Dr’s recommendation we put her on Arsenic Alb and that reduced her severe cough during that time..We went up to a 50M of Arsenic Alb over a period of year and stopped after that…She has been having this cold season allergies all along and any recommendation is greatly appreciated. Its a frequent runny nose with sneezes.
Thanks so much,
Rao
Sir,
I have been suffering from Allergic Rhinitis for past 3 years which my allopathic doctors says gets transformed into bronchial asthma at times. I had taken homeopathic medicines for almost 11/2 years. But condition never remained normal except for few times. Exposure to change in temperature , cold temp. increases the problem.
I am terribly confused whether i am suffering from asthma or rhinitis due to different versions from different doctors.Symptoms include normal cold (sneezing) followed by severe cough and gradually it worsens.
Regards
Have a long long history with nasal allergies , I’m 44 years old and have this problem since I was 9-10 years old, had two sinusitis surgeries, for nasal polyps & diviaded septum , the Flonase treatment, the Avyms spray… Does minimum help, I find that warm saline water rinses twice daily does better, should I stay away from certain foods? Gluten? Etc….. Air purifiers ?? I still find the salt water treatment the best & most natural, I’m not taken any other sprays only like an Otrivin when I’ve got like a cold or I’m really congested just for relaxing at night to ease my sleep , what do you suggest??
Thanks , Nicholas 🙂
