Pollen Allergy & homeopathy
January 15, 2009
I am 42 years old and since the last ten years, I, have been suffering from a nasal allergy. As a result, I just can’t stop sneezing. At times, I sneeze 30 to 40 times in a row. This condition is accompanied by an itchy feeling in the eyes, nose and mouth and by profuse thin watery discharge from the nose. My condition has made me very irritable and short-tempered. My state gets worse in the month of April, though a mild to moderate allergic condition persists throughout the year. Please suggest a homeopathic medicin.

Your symptoms are indicative of allergic rhinitis. Symptoms of allergic rhinitis (hay fever) include itchy, runny, stuffy noses and itchy eyes and sneezing. Often caused by pollen from trees, grass or weeds, it is most commonly known as hay feverHay fever subsides with the onset of cold weather. Persistent allergic rhinitis, however, occurs the year round, and is caused by indoor allergens such as dust, mite and animal danderHay fever (allergic rhinitis) is an allergic reaction to pollen. A virtually identical reaction occurs with allergy to animal dander, dust, and similar inhaled allergens. When an allergen such as pollen enters the body of a person with a sensitized immune system (defence system), it triggers anti-body production. Body tissues release histamine and other chemical as part of the defence response. This causes itching, swelling of affected tissues, mucus production, muscle spasms, and other symptoms. Most trees produce pollen in the spring, grass and flowers produce pollen during the summer, and ragweed and other late-blooming plants produce pollen during late summer and .early autumn. During the pollen season, people with hay fever should remain indoors in an air-conditioned atmosphere whenever possible. It was homeopath CHARLES BLACKEY, who first proved that pollen from grasses is the cause of seasonal hay fever.Allergies can be treated as well as cured, if homeopathic medicines are judiciously employed. Homeopathic medicines Allium Cepa, Natrum Mur, Sabadilla,Arundo Mur, Wyethia are extremely effective in treating hay fever. You may start your treatment with Allium cepa 200, one dose every alternate day for a period of one month. Allergies are caused by hypersensitivity of the immune system, leading to a misdirected immune response. The immune system normally protects the body against harmful substances such as bacteria, viruses, and toxins. Allergy occurs when the immune system reacts to substances (allergens) that are- generally harmless and in most people do not cause an immune response.Heredity, environmental conditions, number and type of exposures and emotional factors can increase the sensitivity of the immune systeme.Anita, Chandigarh
