Allergy

Immunity is the ability to fight against harmful external influences, mainly pathogens. The immune system at birth is immature, hence the immunity to neonates are basically received from the antibodies through the breast milk. Immunity develops as one gets exposed to various external influences. In certain individuals the immune system becomes hypersensitive and hyper responsive to one or more stimuli which is called allergy.

In allergy, the immune system is misguided to react to foreign substances which are harmless. Although allergies can develop at any age, the risk of developing allergies is genetic. It is related to ones family history of allergy. If neither parent is allergic, the chance for allergy is 15%. If one parent is allergic, the risk doubles to 30% and if both parents are allergic, the risk is more than 60%.

Allergy can be commonly manifested on the skin (Urticaria), nose (Allergic Rhinitis), eyes (Allergic Conjunctivitis), linings of the respiratory tract (Asthma), or may present as allergic shock (Anaphylaxis).

Homoeopathy has a great scope in cases of allergy. Homoeopathic medicines are known to alter the body’s hypersensitive reactions, hence not only helps in treating acute allergic reactions but also help in the reducing the chronic tendencies to allergy in patients with family history of allergy.

Remedies such as Apis, Arsenic Alb, Urtica Urens, Rhus Tox, Pulsatilla, etc. are extremely efficacious in treating acute allergies. This has to be followed with constitutional homoeopathic treatment will help reduce the tendencies to allergy. The homeopathic medicines helps in re adjusting the functioning of the immune system to optimum level, thereby, responding less intensely on exposure to an allergen, and eventually the allergic response subsides completely.
