Allergies
Homeopathy is another common natural treatment for Allergies – one of the more gentle forms of treatment – that is most likely to relief allergy related health problems or symptoms, food intolerances and sensitivities.
Homeopathy is based on the idea that like treats like; homeopaths generally use substances that contain a microscopic amount of a substance that would normally cause a condition, on the idea that it will actually stimulate the body’s immune system to treat the condition or symptom.
If you want to try homeopathic remedies, you best consult with a trained homeopath, to match a remedy that suits your personality, individual constitution and symptoms.
What is allergy?
Allergy is a heightened or altered reactivity of the immune system to external substances. Conditions that are caused by an external agent or “allergen” include eczema, allergic asthma, urticaria (hives), hay fever and perennial rhinitis (all year round hay fever-like symptoms). The most common allergens are house dust mites, pollen from trees and grasses, cats, dogs, milk and eggs. An allergic person’s immune system believes allergens to be damaging and so produces a special type of antibody (IgE) to attack the invading material. This leads other blood cells to release further chemicals which together cause the symptoms of an allergic reaction.
