Summer and spring are two most awaited seasons. Maybe you have been waiting for summer because you have a plan with some friends. Even though these seasons are comfortable enough and full of joyful, sometimes you cannot predict what would happen. During this time, the plants grow a lot and their pollen spreads easily in the air. For some people who do not have allergies over this component, it is not a big problem; but it is different with those who have allergies.

Pollen may cause a body disorder called hay fever. Mostly, the medical world knows it as seasonal allergies. In the UK area, there are about 15 million people suffer hay fever each year. The fever happens when your internal immune system detects pollen as harmful substance or virus and it begins to produce antibodies called histamine that affects your tissue surface. After that, certain symptoms such as sneezing and runny nose begin to appear.

Even though it does not give you a major impact, hay fever can slow your productivity. So, in order to reduce this allergy effect, you have to take medication such as the one from Benadryl. Besides medication, you can also have prevention over the allergy by installing an air purifier to filter any pollen from your house. This way, you can minimize your chance of having hay fever.

Allergies are one of the most common disorders in the spring. With the arrival of good weather the plants initiate pollination, a process that many plants carried by wind – known as the anemophilous plants – which leads to the development of a large amount of pollen in the atmosphere, with consequent problems for people with allergic relationship with him.

The proportion of pollen in the air also depends on the weather. So, on rainy days the atmosphere is free of pollen and, conversely, on windy days and clear, the proportion of pollen in the atmosphere will be much higher. At present, it is estimated that this type of allergy affects approximately 15% of the population of most developed countries and may reach up to 30% among youth. The hay fever, also known as hay fever, usually manifests itself with rhinitis (sneezing, congestion and runny nose) and conjunctivitis (itchy eyes, tearing, and swelling). If you experience these symptoms systematically at the beginning of spring is probable that we are allergic to pollen. In any event, it must go to the specialist to make us a proper diagnosis and we recommend the most appropriate treatment.

Usually the diagnosis is made by studying the patient’s medical history and performing allergy skin tests, which can be supplemented with other tests such as blood tests. (more…)

Conventional treatment of allergies usually involves antihistamines, steroids or, occasionally, surgery. People with allergies know that these treatments do not work; they only provide temporary relief of symptoms without actually curing the immune disorder sufferers. On the other hand, can produce side effects that may be worse than the same allergies.

“Maybe,” said Dr. Dana Ullman, author of numerous books on homeopathy and founder of Homeopathic Educational Services, “the main misunderstanding about allergies lies in supposing that the allergen (cat dander, pollen, mite, or any other) is the problem. Actually, the allergen is simply the trigger, while the allergic person’s body is loaded weapon. Instead of treating symptoms or avoiding the allergen, it is preferable to strengthen the immune system itself. ”

Homeopathy
Homeopaths use the “constitutional remedy” to treat allergies. This means that, after a study of all symptoms, both physical and psychological patient, select a specific remedy for each person. (more…)
