There is hardly a single person in the modern world who would not suffer from allergic reactions. The artificiality of our world and all its modern technologies do not always play into the hands of mortal inhabitants of the planet, which include people. Deterioration of food quality, disturbances in the ecological environment, change of environment - all this can lead to such familiar symptoms of allergy. Of course, there is always the possibility of treating such conditions with standard medical means such as antibiotics, drops and injections. But will they really be effective?

Very often, allergies arise in childhood and then cannot disappear. Over time, they only transform and can go from skin reactions to sneezing and watery eyes, itching, nasal congestion and other manifestations. You can’t leave things to chance, because over time, allergy attacks will simply interfere with your life. In such situations, homeopathic treatment of allergies comes to the rescue. Homeopathic drugs not only eliminate the symptoms of allergic reactions, they remove the body’s predisposition to allergies, reduce the body’s sensitivity to allergens, while maintaining all the properties of immunity. Homeopathy seeks to rid a person of the very causes of the disease.

The principle of treating allergies with homeopathy comes down to three basic rules:

  1. Like cures like, or like cures like.
  2. The medicine should be used in small therapeutic doses, otherwise it can only worsen the situation. Only small doses do not contradict physiology.
  3. Each patient reacts to the disease in his own way, which means the approach to him must be unique.

Homeopathic treatment of allergies is undoubtedly effective, but is often very long and lasts for periods of 6 months. However, relief comes from the first moments of treatment, which cannot but please the patient.

In the treatment, such preparations as Allium cepa 6C, Arsenicum iodatum 6C, Euphrasia 6C, Sabadilla 6C are used. They significantly reduce the manifestation of symptoms such as itching, sneezing, watery eyes, hay fever. Although Allium cepa should be used only in case of symptoms in the form of discharge (nasal, watery). There are also a number of other preparations that help depending on the type of allergen or a specific symptom. There are many homeopathic preparations, but the dosage and use should be determined exclusively with a homeopathic doctor. Only a specialist can determine the correct schedule for using a particular drug based on the physiological characteristics of the body, lifestyle, intensity of allergic attacks and other factors identified during the anamnesis. Therefore, for the treatment of allergies with homeopathy, carefully consult a doctor.

Homeopathic treatment of allergies in children

Allergic reactions in children are becoming more and more common. Diathesis occurs in almost every newborn and the treatment of such an allergic reaction should be taken very seriously. Doctors divide the course of the disease into three stages:

  1. Exudative-catarrhal diathesis is characterized by the appearance of redness and peeling on the face and buttocks. It usually occurs in the first months of life during breastfeeding. This stage of diathesis is a sure sign that the child will suffer from allergic reactions.
  2. Childhood eczema. At this stage, redness turns into rashes in the form of blisters and papules. The appearance of the rash is accompanied by itching. Exacerbations occur due to intolerance to a certain type of food, season, infection or other reasons.
  3. Atopic dermatitis. Sometimes the third phase occurs without the previous two, this is a sign that the dermatitis is genetic. It is accompanied by skin itching regardless of the time of day, with an exacerbation at night and in the evening. The rash can appear on any area of the skin. Due to constant itching, the child becomes nervous and irritable.

Using homeopathic remedies to treat allergies in children is also possible, but the choice of the drug should be strictly individual, as in the case of adult patients. The drug and its use depend on the nature of the rash, the location of the rash, the circumstances of the exacerbation of itching, etc. up to individual intolerance. If a child has a rash on the face in the form of blisters, he can be prescribed Staphyzagria, Calcarea carbonica, or Rhus toxicodendron. But if the allergic rash affects the right side of the face more, then Rhus toxicodendron is no longer suitable. If exacerbations occur in damp weather and low temperatures, then Staphyzagria also fades into the background. As a result, we have only one suitable drug. But in order to choose it, it is necessary to make a clear and correct anamnesis.

Treatment of allergic reactions with homeopathy in children and adults is undoubtedly a very effective method, since it directly affects the cause of the disease. At the same time, homeopathic medicines can also lead to other qualitative changes in the body - increased mobility, weight loss, improved immunity. But everything depends on the correct treatment and adherence to the regime. Treatment of allergies with homeopathy is a rather long process, which provides relief from the first moments of taking the drugs and leads to complete recovery over a longer period.
