These are a number of conditions caused by “Hypersensitivity” of the Immunity to typically harmless substances in the environment. These diseases affect Skin (Allergic Dermatitis, Urticaria); Nasal Passages (Allergic Rhinitis); Sinuses (Allergic Sinuitis); Airways (Allergic Asthma and Allergic Bronchitis) and Digestive System. Allergic reactions can range from Mild to Severe. In severe cases, Allergies can trigger life threatening reaction known as ‘Anaphylaxis’.
Any substance that can produce menifestations of allergy is called an Allergen.
Allergens are introduced by
- Contact (e.g. chemical substances)
- Inhalation (e.g. pollen, smoke, strong odour, dust)
- Ingestion (e.g. food)
- Injection
Symptoms: Itchy eyes, running nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, cough, sore throat, rashes, urticaria, itching, shortness of breath, wheeze, fatigue, facial pain, headache, nausea and vomiting
The allergic conditions tend to recur and relapse. Homoeopathy corrects the internal dyscrasia which is the root cause of allergic disorders.
