How homeopathy helps allergy sufferers
Allergic rhinitis is a condition associated with a group of symptoms affecting your nose. These symptoms occur when you breathe in something you are allergic to, such as pollen, dust, or animal dander. Symptoms can also present themselves when you eat food that you are allergic to.
Allergic rhinitis causes
Your immune system’s overreaction to an allergen is the primary allergic rhinitis cause. When a person with allergic rhinitis breathes in an allergen such as pollen, animal dander, mold, or dust, the immune system reacts to it in defense. The body then releases chemicals (histamines) that cause allergy symptoms.
Allergic rhinitis often runs in families. If both your parents have allergic rhinitis, you are likely to have it too. The chance is higher if your mother has allergic rhinitis.
Allergic rhinitis symptoms
Allergic rhinitis symptoms include a runny nose, sneezing, itchy, watery eyes, stuffy nose, coughing, a sore throat, dark circles under the eyes, fatigue, irritability, and headaches amongst others. It is advised to seek treatment as these symptoms might worsen with time.

Homeopathy treats allergic rhinitis sufferers efficaciously
Homeopathy has effectively treated allergic rhinitis patients over the years. 432 allergic patients at Pitigliano Hospital Centre of Integrated Medicine were divided into two groups. Amongst these patients, 262 had seasonal allergies and 168 perennial allergies.
A strong reduction in the intensity of symptoms was reported since the first month of homeopathic treatment, for both non-seasonal and seasonal allergic rhinitis. This was along with a significant reduction in the use of conventional medicines in 85% of year-round allergy patients and 100% of patients with seasonal allergies.
Homeopathy sees allergic rhinitis as a result of an internal imbalance, particularly of the immune system. Allergens causing allergy symptoms in one individual are harmless to someone with a healthy immune system. Allergic rhinitis treatment in homeopathy, therefore, aims to remove the individual tendencies that cause allergies.
The homeopathic body of researchers at Dr Batra's® has identified numerous remedies that are used to treat allergic rhinitis effectively. Depending on one’s symptoms, appropriate medication is prescribed.
It’s, therefore, best for a homeopathic doctor to determine the fundamental cause to come up with the right medication. The practitioner will prescribe an individually tailored homeopathic remedy, based on medical history, the allergy’s symptoms and constitutional traits. Homeopathic medicines for allergic rhinitisare highly diluted organic substances, mostly plants and minerals. The preparation process removes all toxic effects, so the treatments are easy, safe and gentle for all people, including pregnant women and children.
Also, along with homeopathy, there are a few tricks and tips you can implement in your life that will help speed up the healing process.
For seasonal allergic rhinitis:
- Avoid outdoor activities when pollen counts peak. Grass pollen counts are usually high in the late afternoon and early evening, and ragweed counts in the early midday. Wear an N95 mask if you have to go out. Take a shower and change your clothes afterward.
- Keep your doors and windows closed as much as possible during the pollen season.
For perennial allergic rhinitis:
- If you have a cat or a dog that triggers symptoms, clean after it and do your best to keep it off furniture and out of your bedroom.
- Put pillows, mattresses and box springs in sealed plastic covers (allergen encasements) to keep out dust mites. Cleanse your bed sheets in hot water to kill dust mites.
- Don’t put carpets in your bedroom.
- Keep relative humidity under 40% by using a dehumidifier.
