What are Allergies?
The term allergy may be used to describe the reaction produced by the body when it encounters something foreign. When an allergic reaction occurs, the body responds by producing antibodies and/or releasing specific chemicals called histamines. When released into the system, these histamines trigger an inflammatory response otherwise known as an allergic reaction. Common allergens include certain drugs, dusts, moulds, insect bites, plants and foods.
What is Homeopathy?
The principles of homeopathy are based on the premise that the large dose of a substance that produces a symptom of any particular symptom will remove that symptom when administered in very small micro-doses.
Homeopathic Relief for Allergies
The Homeopathic approach to allergies differs from that of Western medicine by exposing minimal mounts of the allergen as part of the therapy (rather than having the patient avoid the allergen altogether). This strengthens the individuals immune system, allowing it to naturally resist the allergen, weakening the body’s allergic response and consequently reducing both the severity and frequency of all allergy symptoms.
