Allergy

Allergies

A runny nose, itchy skin, a bloated stomach, breathing problems, swelling, nausea, and fatigue are often mistaken for hypersensitivity, but these are merely symptoms. A qualified homeopath emphasizes promptly identifying these signs so that appropriate allergy treatment can be received before the condition worsens. Our immune system adapts to our environment, and when it encounters a foreign substance, it attacks it to protect us.

An allergy is your body’s exaggerated response to contact with allergens found in the environment, food, or inherited genetically. It can develop at any age, regardless of gender.

Symptoms can range from mildly irritating to life-threatening. Without proper treatment, or with ineffective treatment, allergies can become a lifelong problem and potentially lead to chronic diseases.

While many patients seek relief through conventional medication, a qualified homeopath approaches it by strengthening the body’s natural defences through homeopathy remedies which provide a natural alternative.

Nuts Allergy

Nut allergies can affect individuals in a wide range of ways, from mild to severe, depending on the type of nut, the amount ingested, and the individual's sensitivity.

Dust Allergy

Dust allergy, which is actually a reaction to dust mites (tiny creatures that live in dust), can affect people in various ways, ranging from mild irritation to severe respiratory distress.

How does homeopathy work for allergies like hay fever?

Homeopathy doesn’t just suppress symptoms—it strengthens your immune system to reduce hypersensitivity to allergens like pollen or dust. Remedies like Sabadilla or Allium Cepa are chosen based on your unique symptoms (e.g., sneezing, itchy eyes).
