Hay Fever - is there genuine relief in sight?
By Ginny Day – Homeopath.
As we plan ahead towards summer, the hope of warmer weather with sunny days is a welcome prospect for many of us. For others it’s the start of itchy noses, streaming eyes and continuous sneezing.
Some sufferers will buy over the counter products to ease their suffering, whilst others will see their general practitioners. However these substances can be very powerful and whilst sometimes effective at suppressing the symptoms, have undesirable side effects and do nothing to cure the problem. Consequently many sufferers are now turning to homeopathy for help.
What is homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a gentle, holistic system of healing which is suitable for everyone and treats you as an individual.
What is hay-fever?
Hay-fever is caused by a reaction of the immune system to an environmental trigger. The body over-reacts to external substances leading to irritation and inflammation.
Hay-fever is a deep-seated condition which requires constitutional treatment from a qualified homeopath. Orthodox medical treatment can manage the condition with powerful drugs that have a number of side effects but constitutional homeopathic treatment over two or three seasons may cure the condition completely and, without any side effects.
A case study.
I first met Alex when he was 12. He had been suffering from hay-fever for several years. His mother had tried everything else and homeopathy was the last resort. His school work was suffering and he stayed indoors as much as he could through the summer, being too congested and uncomfortable to join in sports or other activities.
His hay-fever began in early May and would continue through to the end of August. He presented with an itchy palate, irritable throat and, even though his nose could be extremely runny, it felt obstructed causing him to breathe through his mouth. He suffered from regular headaches and at times his face could become very “puffy”. Alex also suffered from mild eczema, particularly during the winter months.
I saw Alex several times during the summer. The prescribed remedies helped him tremendously. Alex confirmed he felt “much better than before, it helped me much more than the antihistamines I took last year – and I wasn’t drowsy!”
I prescribed for Alex during the following winter months to prepare him for the spring. His hay-fever started in June. The symptoms were not as bad as the previous year and he even helped his dad cut the grass! His eczema completed disappeared.
Over the next couple of winters, I prepared Alex for the following spring. His hay-fever season increasingly became shorter and much reduced in severity. By the time Alex was 15 his hay-fever symptoms had completed disappeared.
The ultimate test came when Alex was old enough to apply to the Royal Air Force and had to undergo a medical. This medical involved having pollen of every description blown into his face to test him for allergies. The test was completely clear. The official conclusion is that Alex does not suffer from hay-fever any more.
If you are suffering from hay-fever or other allergies or other health concerns, a qualified homeopath may be able to help you with completely safe and effective treatment.
