Dust allergy is seen in a person whose immune system overreacts to dust mites. Individuals who suffer from dust allergies are allergic to the body and waste of dust mites, the tiny bugs that belong to the spider family and live in house dust found mostly on bed linen, mattresses, and furniture. They feed on the dead skin cells that you regularly shed. The symptoms of dust allergy at times become so severe that they disrupt sleep in many patients.

Identifying dust allergy

Signs of dust mite allergy include those common to hay fever, such as sneezing and runny nose. Many people with dust mite allergy also experience signs of asthma, such as wheezing and difficulty breathing.

A person who suffers from dust allergies may experience worsening of symptoms after sweeping or vacuuming. This type of household cleaning can stir up dust particles making them easier to inhale.

Dust mite allergy symptoms caused by inflammation of nasal passages include:

  • Sneezing
  • Runny nose
  • Itchy, red or watery eyes
  • Nasal congestion
  • Itchy nose, roof of mouth or throat
  • Postnasal drip
  • Cough
  • Facial pressure and pain
  • Swollen, blue-colored skin under your eyes
  • In a child, frequent upward rubbing of the nose.

Disturbed sleep is obviously one of the symptoms

Dust allergy treatment in homeopathy

As mentioned earlier, dust allergy occurs due to oversensitive immune response. Homeopathy gives patients with dust allergies the best results, as it strengthens their immune system naturally instead of masking the symptoms. Homeopathic treatment for dust allergy is a permanent, rapid and safe. The benefit of using homeopathy is that it stops the recurrent episodes of the disease.

Best suited homoeopathic medicines are prescribed on your particular individual symptoms. It is therefore advisable to take medicines from proper homoeopathic doctor and not by self.

It is recommended when nasal mucus irritates your nose or upper lip and your eyes become watery. The discharge is bland and not irritating. You feel worse when you are in warm environment and better in open air.

Symptoms are better after having hot drinks and warm baths.

Euphrasia officinalis

Symptoms that call for this remedy include profuse tears that are acrid and burning in nature; and bland, non-irritating nasal discharge. Respiratory symptoms include runny nose & cough that gets worse after waking up in the morning. Symptoms get better in open air and in the dark.

Natrum muriaticum

Try this remedy when you have a watery or egg-white-like nasal discharge; paroxysms of sneezing; chapped lips and cracks at the corners of the mouth; dark circles under the eyes; headaches.

Sabadilla
