Treat your autumn allergy with homeopathy
Do you find yourself having a runny itchy nose, watery eyes and severe sneezing episodes at this time of the year? If so, you may be suffering from allergic rhinitis and also you are among the estimated 25 per cent of the Indians affected by one or the other form of allergies. Come September and October, many suffer from these dreadful seasonal ?autumn allergy? attacks also known as hay fever or allergic rhinitis. Pollens seem to be the main cause. The other main causative factor in this region is the paddy threshing dust. In rural areas this is a very common trigger during these months.
Commonly called ?hay fever?, pollen allergies are among the most common chronic conditions. The most common producers of allergenic pollen include weeds, grasses and trees. These dry pollens are disseminated by the wind and trigger allergy symptoms. Common symptoms include sneezing, congestion, a runny nose, and itchiness in the nose, roof of the mouth, throat, eyes and ears
Allergic rhinitis has another type too. The perennial type occurs all throughout the year and is not affected by the time of the year. Dust mites, animal dander and mold spores are usually the main causes. Early morning sneezing attacks are quite typical of dust mite allergies.
An allergy refers to an abnormal reaction to certain substances called allergens.. Just as the country?s defence forces are trained to identify the enemy and attack it, our immune system identifies the body?s enemies like bacteria, viruses, etc and eliminates them. The country?s forces never attack our civilians; similarly, our immune system ignores useful substances like food and drugs and useless or harmless substances like pollengrains, dust and animal dander. However, if the immune system goes awry and reacts to such useful or harmless substances, then the person is said to have developed an allergy. Such substances, called allergens, may be inhaled, swallowed or may come into contact with the skin.
HOW HOMEOPATHY WORKS IN ALLERGIES
Homoeopathic treatment of allergic rhinitis offers a better promise. Many such allergies can be treated permanently, though it may take one or two seasons before it is completely wiped out. Allium Cepa leads the homoeopathic table in treating this acute phase of allergic rhinitis. It is highly recommended for autumn allergy conditions with the following symptoms. Frequent sneezing, constant dripping of watery discharge; which may burn like fire, and excoriate the upper lip and wings of the nose, all symptoms are worse indoors; better in open air. It is also very effective in treating morning attacks of sneezing that come during the months of autumn. If symptoms match, one dose of Allium Cepa 30c daily can be used to treat the condition, which occurs during this period of the year. Further constitutional treatment should be followed under the guidance of a professional homoeopath
Useful tips
- * During the peak allergic weather use facemask while moving outdoors.
- * Keep windows closed to prevent pollens and molds from drifting into your home. Air-conditioning can also help reduce your pollen exposure.
- * Minimise your early morning activity (between 5 and 10 a.m.) when pollen counts are higher.
- * Keep your home?s relative humidity level at or below 50 per cent by using airconditioners. This will discourage dust mite and mold growth.
- * Carpet and flooring: allergens are easily removed from carpet and floors by regular vacuuming.
- * Kitchen and bathroom: The wet, warm conditions of these rooms provide the perfect condition for mold and mildew to thrive. Repairing leaks and cleaning kitchens and bathrooms every week with a disinfectant designed to kill mold and mildew is the best way to combat them

Dear Doctor,

I am suffering from pollen allergy each year since last 3 – 4 years during may of each year. I get sneezing and then that leads to asthma most of the time. i am taking allpathic medicines like Allegra each year for the whole month to put my allergy in control and i need to take asthalin medicine to control my asthma but I am trying to find a permanent solution which I heard is possible in homeopathy and then I saw this . Any help /recommendation of taking this medicine will be appreciated.
Should I take allium cepa 30 c or is there any other alternative in homeopathy for my allergy condition.
Whoever is reading this I guarantee he will be benefitted. I had a long history of allergy symptoms in terms of skin itching and sun allergy. I had a nasal allergy which started around 5 years back when I moved to Mumbai for Job reason. Even if I was taking proper diet,practicing Yoga and Pranayam regularly my issue was not getting resolved. I would have a mild pain around my right eye which will start at around same time every day then it will be unbearable pain after 3 and 4 hours. I would have a hot forehead and I won’t be able to work beyond 7PM. I thought initially it is because of AC in my office because when I get outside my office the pain will reduce. And when I will have my lunch then also the pain will reduce. But the reason was non of these . I moved to Kolkata thinking that the Mumbai climate is not suitable for me. But it didn’t help me. It only deteriorated. I had water retention in my maxiliary sinus and this will come out of my right nostril every 2 to 3 days. I visited columbia asia hospital here. Doctor suggested CT scan. He told me that I have a deviated septum that is where the problem is and that has caused water retention in maxiliary sinus. He prescribed some antibiotics and i got much relief. But he told that I need to test that water which is coming out of my right nostril. Whenever you feel like you have blocked nose please don’t blow hard. Collect that water and give here in the lab for analysis . That could be CSF fluid. I googled and found out that If I had any accident in the past or some operation of brain then only there is a chance of CSF leakage. But I didn’t have any such history. So I didn’t revisit the Doctor because I had already spent Rs.6000 in expensive CT Scan. I didn’t want to spend anymore for that doctor. But my problem was not resolved. I was feeling like fever after some days with breathing issues for the first time. When I did a blood test I found that I had 16% of eosonophil count. And I had another shot of antibiotic by a local doctor. This time I visited Appollo hospital. There doctor again suggested for a lot of blood tests. I had a high immunoglobulin ige test(270mg) and abs. eosinophil count (11% reduced from 16%) and water in maxiliary sinus(Xray of Paranasal Sinus) which were abnormal. He confirmed me that I have allergy problem . He prescribed me allergy medicine for 6 weeks and referred to ENT surgeon. ENT doctor checked my CT Scan report done at Columbia Hospital. He suggested for FESS operation to correct the abnormality which I didn’t agree to. But soon after the allergy medicine is finished I have again all the symtoms like blocked nose and water coming out of right nostril and pain around my right eye. This time I thought beyond allopathy medicine. My father got a homeopath practitioner in my village. He heard of all my problems. He suggested for Nux Vomica 200 one single dose. I had it. I got a lot of relief. The pain which usually I had around my right eye reduced to a great extent. But after 2 to 3 weeks I had all the problems again. Then the homeopath told to take me another dose. I had it too. But again after 2 weeks I had similar problems and additionally I had seen blood in the morning from my right nostril for the first time this winter. Then I consulted the homeopath. But he almost surrendered. He had no idea 🙁 just told me to visit some other ENT specialist. This time I consulted my father — He told me to visit Baba Ramdev’s clinic . I paid a visit there too but didn’t have faith that it will work in my case. I had an impression that ayurvedic medicines take long time to work. The doctor there listened to my problem and prescribed me laxmivilas Ras(2 tabs twice daily ),Sanjeevani Vati(2 tabs twice daily) and Chyavanprash. After having these medicines for 1 week I could see the result. My nose bleed was stopped, Hay fever was gone but I was having pain around my right eye still. Still I had faith on it . I completed the course for 1 whole month. Then for 2 days I stopped the medicine. I had again blocked nose and same problems. So I started it again . I would take steam inhalation and shadabindu tail also. After 2 weeks I reduced the pills to 1 each 2 times instead of 2 pills. Then also I didn’t have any problem. After 15days of taking like that again I stopped medicine for 2 days. Again the problem came back with nose bleed. So I started 1 pill each . But now I have stopped Sanjeevani Vati.. I am only taking laxmivilas Ras Vati 1 pill twice daily after food. Might be able to leave that too after few months… I am absolutely fine now 🙂 I hope this will be helpful for every body who is suffering from similar problem.

Hello Sir,
I’m suffering from the same allergic condition that you’ve metioned in your article.
I’m suffering from this allergy since 2 years. I started homeopathy and as time passed there were good results. But it felt that the affect lasted for only short period of time.
At present, I’ve stopped homeopathy. My doctor has prescribed me Histaglob injection to be taken once in a week and total of 8 injections I’ve been prescribed.
I’m done taking 3 of them.
Sir I needed your advice that are these 8 doses sufficient to drive my allergy away.
And I’m also concerned if there could be any bad consequences of these doses.
I am suffering from Angioedema (allergy in which lips/tongue/eyes/cheek/palm/feet swells). the swellings lasts for 1-4 days. I have been taking allopathic medicine from 3-4 months. I took homeopathic medicine also and the Doctor told me that it will first take the allergy suprresed with allopathic medicine out of the body. after taking hmeopathic medicine for 15-20 days i got the most sever allergic reaction in which the swelling took 4 days to go and i am now feared to continue taking it and i had to get back to allopathic for quick relief. Please advice if it can be treated permanently with Homeopathy.
Thanks
Respected Dr. Sharma,
My son is about 6 years old. Belonging good and healthy weight. But throughout the year he is suffering with throat infction. We treated him through allpthy medicine. Recently we tested his blood and found that he is suffering with allergic rhinitis with symptoms include sneezing, congestion of noses etc. This problem occurs in this winter only. We go to the doctor and he suggested to take a nasal spray for one month. But as all say that spray has side effects and the child will be addicted with this. Sir, any medicine in homeopathy to wash out his problem permanently?
Thanx in advance for ur kind reply
