Information on Beating Allergy

Allergy is an inappropriate or exaggerated reaction of the immune system to a substance that, in the majority of people, causes no symptoms. It's mostly the skin and the respiratory and gastric systems that are affected by allergies. These can be seasonal or happen all year around. Upto 25 percent Indians suffer from one allergy or another. Allergic rhinitis tops the list while urticaria- red itchy weals on the body-- is another common complaint.
Allergic Rhinitis causes intense sneezing and watering of the eyes and nose leading to Asthma. Urticaria and other skin and gastric allergies cause stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhoea. Sometime, it can lead to Anaphylaxis causing respiratory difficulty,circulatory shock and even death. Beside this, skin allergies have been shown to predispose sufferers to blood cancers. Urticaria is linked to leukemia and eczema to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Conventional anti-allergy treatment usually consists of antihistamines, steroids and Desensitization shots. But these provide only temporary relief against specific triggering factors or allergens. In fact mistaking the allergen for the problem is the gravest misunderstanding. The allergen is only a trigger, it's the body that's the culprit. So instead of treating symptoms or avoiding allergens, the wisest course is to strengthen the body's own defences. And this can be achieved through Homeopathy.
By improving body immunity, Homeopathy lowers hypersensitivity and alters the patient's response to the allergen. Understanding the complexity of causes, it treats each case individually, and in addition to constitutional medicine, provides remedies specific to particular symptoms and causes for eg. Pothos for Asthma caused by dust, but Solanum Lycopus when that same dust causes sneezing. Homeopathic medicines made from specific allergens can be used safely against specific allergies for eg. Fragaria vesca' made from strawberries will treat individuals allergic to strawberries without causing any side- effects.
Realising the danger of allergies changing planes i.e today's Atopic Dermatitis turning into tomorrow's Asthma unless properly treated, Homeopathy counters this with medicines like Caladium among others. Here is a case study that demonstrates the healing power of homeopathy. In 2003, whilst playing in the park, a 7 yr old's face became itchy and swollen. He was treated with anti-histamines and steroids and the symptoms disappeared only to later resurface as Atopic Dermatitis. After trying other treatments including other homeopaths, he was brought to Dr Batra's in April 2005. By then his face had so shriveled up, he could barely open his mouth to speak, eat or even laugh -- if he still felt like. He was missing school 20 days a month. We traced his allergy to his mother's pregnancy during which she had undergone severe emotional stress, and prescribed one dose of Staphysagria. Within the first month his face cleared up and within the next month, his whole body too. He is neither using medication nor ointments and there have been no flare-ups since then.
A mind and body healer, Homeopathy is your best bet against allergies. Utilise its benefits towards an allergy-free life.
