ALLERGIES: A Temporary Solution or a Permanent Cure……

In the recent past there has been increasing number of patients who come with some rash on the body which itches very badly or they come with complaints of lot of sneezing and blocked nose. They visit the local dr and he prescribes some medicines and the complaints just vanish in a jiffy. As time passes the frequency of these attacks increase and so does the visit to doctors. In subsequent months or years this complaint of rash or sneezing or nasal congestion more or less tends to become permanent and thus the patient is totally dependent on the medication forever. Stopping the medication leads to relapse of these complaints. The doctors arrive at a conclusion that this is allergy and the patient has to live with this condition and continue taking medicines for the same.  

This allergy has become a disease of everyone’s house. What is allergy? It is in simple terms the disease of your immune system. When a normal human being is exposed to something harmful from the surrounding then the immune system reacts with these damaging invaders and helps to maintain a harmonious functioning of the body. This is a healthy response of the body. However an allergy starts when the immune system mistakes a normally harmless substance for a dangerous invader. This misjudgment on the part of immune system to identify the harmless substance as harmful and the consequent reaction of immunity is called allergy.  The manifestation of allergy in the body is seen mainly on the skin, the digestive system and the respiratory system. Most commonly occurrence of allergies is seen in children and women.  

The most common triggers are  

·       Airborne allergens, such as pollen, animal dander, dust mites and mold 

·       Certain foods, particularly peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, eggs and milk 

·       Insect stings, such as bee stings or wasp stings 

·       Medications, particularly penicillin or penicillin-based antibiotics 

·       Latex or other substances you touch, which can cause allergic skin reactions 

The symptoms of allergy are as follows  

·       Nose: itching or running nose  

·       Skin: small reddish rashes which itch  

·       Digestive system: tingling in the mouth, swelling of lips, tongue, face and throat.  

·       Chest: Cough tightness in chest, wheezing and shortness of breath.  

Homoeopathy has a huge potential to tackle this illness. It is arguably the only therapy with no negative side effects or after effects. It not only addresses the symptom, the disease, the cause thereof but the whole totality of the patient. It touches not only the touches the body, the function of the body, the mind but also the aura of the spirit which animates the entire individuality.  

I wish to share a case to demonstrate the potential of homoeopathy.  

This is a case of a 50 year old lady coming with allergy for nearly 25 years. Every year in the month of March till May she used to develop severe nasal and chest congestion and difficulty in breathing. When she consulted me the condition was progressively getting worse and the modern medicine doctor advised her to take steroids. There were lots of interpersonal problems with the in laws. She was forced to take charge of one branch of her husband’s business. This time was tough for her and created lot of stress. She felt incapable, under confident and incompetent. After studying her case thoroughly she was given a suitable homoeopathic remedy. Since the disease was of long standing duration she was explained the need to take treatment for at least 1 year. She showed her reluctance in the beginning however after 3-4 months of treatment she was surprised to see that her confidence in dealing with her business improved substantially. This change was highly appreciated by her as well as her relatives. After 1 year of treatment her allergies vanished, the need for anti-allergic was zero and the question of inhaler did not remain. She was asked to stop homoeopathy too and report if necessary. It has been over 4 years that she is enjoying good health and harmony.  

Homoeopathy has a large potential to treat many if not all diseases in this busy stressful world of ours.  

·       Continue to ignore your symptoms, and experience a slow increase in discomfort, which will correspond to a decrease in your overall health. 

·       Treat your symptoms with the latest drugs or painkillers and creating short term relief and long term damage to the rest of your body or  

·       Listen to your body and begin applying a holistic approach to wellness. Treat the whole being, not just the symptoms.  So choice is yours………
