Allergies - How Can Homeopathy Subdue Them?

Most people, at some point of time, have been affected by allergic reactions. An allergic reaction is a hypersensitive reaction triggered by an Allergen (substance that has the potential to trigger an allergic reaction). Allergies can be Perennial or Seasonal. Perennial allergies are not season specific and can occur throughout the year. Seasonal allergies, on the other hand, are season specific. For example, Hay fever (triggered by pollens) is a common allergic reaction during the spring season.

A number of substances can act as a potential allergen, triggering a hypersensitive reaction in a person. The allergens can be:

i)  Environmental factors (pollen, dust mites, sunlight, fur of some animals, or mold)
ii) Certain food stuffs like milk and dairy products, peanuts, wheat, soy, tomatoes, eggplant, alcohol or shellfish.
iii) Synthetic and natural substances like pesticides, nickel, latex,
iv) Certain medications like sulfa drugs, penicillin,
v)  Animal stings; mostly wasps and bees, can also trigger an allergic reaction.

The allergic reactions affecting a person can vary depending on the source of the allergen. It can be a skin allergy, nasal and cough allergy, food allergy or a dust allergy. The best way to treat an allergic reaction is to identify the allergen involved. Homeopathic treatments are very effective against an allergic reaction.
