Battle Allergies The Homeopathic Way
A very common condition seen now-a-days in mostly every household. From children to adults many fall prey to this condition some or the other time. An allergic condition occurs when the immune system reacts abnormally. The immune system under normal circumstances reacts when the body is invaded by infectious allergens but when it overreacts to substances that shouldn’t matter it is commonly termed as an allergic state. The immune system produces antibodies. When suffering from allergies, your immune system makes antibodies that identify a particular allergen (allergens are substances that cause allergies) as harmful, despite it not being so and hence when the person comes in contact with the allergen, the immune system’ reaction can lead to skin inflammation, sinus/air ways affection and or digestive disturbances.  Pollen grains, dust mites, insect stings, pet dander (fur), certain food items (especially nuts, fish, milk and milk products, wheat or gluten) and chemical substances are some examples of common allergens.
Signs and Symptoms
Body responses that get triggered by an allergy includes excessive sneezing, runny nose, itchy and watery eyes and nose, skin rashes or hives, swelling of the lips/face. In extreme cases it can also cause and anaphylactic reaction which is usually an acute emergency needing hospitalization. The main symptoms here being shortness of breath, increased pulse rate with/without consciousness.
What is the solution to this
Allergy is a dis-ease of the immune system. It is difficult to eliminate allergens completely. Hence it is important to strengthen the immunity from within and prevent it from over reacting to external allergens. Homeopathic medicines are prescribed on the basis of the acquired symptoms and data during case taking. After which the most specific medicine that covers all the complaints of the individual , which is most specific/identical to him is prescribed. This is also called a tailor made approach which means the medicine given is tailored to the individual needs and hence when a medicine is prescribed with such specificity the chances of getting cured/healed is much faster from within.
