Are you having itchy skin, a runny nose, and sometimes itchy or watery, bloodshot eyes? And all these occur to you occasionally? Well, you might be having seasonal allergies. Seasonal allergies happen when the body's immune system recognizes an airborne particle which might be usually harmless. Read more to know some of the major causes of allergies.

Book an appointment with your homeopath as soon as you notice these symptoms. Homeopaths can usually diagnose these allergies when typical symptoms such as a runny, itchy nose and itchy eyes develop during a particular season.

Symptoms of Seasonal Allergies

Seasonal allergies can make the nose, the roof of the mouth, back of the throat, and eyes itch. Itching may start gradually or abruptly. The nose runs, delivering an unmistakable watery release, and may get stuffed up. In children, the stuffy nose may lead to an ear infection. The lining of the nose may become swollen and bluish red. The sinuses might also become stuffed up, causing headaches and sometimes sinus infections. Sneezing is common. The eyes may water, sometimes profusely, and itch. The whites of the eyes may become red, and the eyelids may become red and swollen. Wearing contact lenses can irritate the eyes further. Other symptoms include coughing and wheezing (especially in people who also have asthma) and sometimes irritability and trouble sleeping.

Causes of Seasonal Allergies

The biggest seasonal allergy trigger is pollen. Trees, grasses, and weeds discharge these tiny grains into the air in order to fertilize other plants. When they get into the nose of someone who’s allergic, they send the body's defences haywire. The immune system mistakenly sees the pollen as a danger and releases antibodies that attack the allergens. That leads to the release of chemicals called histamines into the blood.

Self-help tips for Seasonal Allergies

Here are a few preventative steps to take.

  • Keep the windows closed.
  • Change clothes each time after coming inside from the outdoors.
  • Take a bath or shower each night before going to bed.
  • Wash bedding in hot, soapy water at once in a week.
  • Cover your bedding and pillows with allergen-proof covers.
  • Use a dehumidifier to reduce excess moisture.

Seasonal allergy treatment

Well, seasonal allergy comes and goes but do you wish not to deal with them at all. Tired of taking allergy shots? Now take homeopathy for effective results:

Homeopathy is predicated on the inexplicable theory that “like cures like.” A substance (such as coffee) that causes a particular set of symptoms (such as insomnia, restlessness, and irritability) in a large dose will relieve those symptoms in an especially diluted dose.

The key to picking the right seasonal allergy treatment is often identical. Match the trademark indications of the patient to the trademark manifestations made by our numerous cures picking the cure with the chief comparable attributes and you will have a happy outcome every time.

As with any medical condition, visit your medical practitioner if you have got any considerations regarding the severity of your unhealthiest because it could the first need diagnosing and/or intervention and monitoring.

Most health food stores carry homeopathic remedies, as well as combination remedies, which mix several remedies into one “allergy relief” tablet. Although the latter approach sacrifices the precision of individualized prescribing, many allergy sufferers still find relief from their symptoms.

Conclusion

The symptoms of seasonal allergies can be uncomfortable. If you suspect you have seasonal allergies, book an appointment and discuss with your homeopath. A homeopath can help to diagnose the cause of your symptoms and prescribe a treatment plan. They will likely encourage you to take steps to avoid your seasonal allergy triggers.
