HOMEOPATHIC ALLERGy RELIEF

Homeopathic remedy for hay fever

Many trees and grasses are flowering early and for longer due to the warmer winters that we have experienced in the last years- therefore, more pollen is around for a longer period. Homeopathic remedies provide allergy relief that is effective and without side-effects.

The typical symptoms of hay fever are

• nose and eye watery discharges,

• bouts of sneezing, nose congestion
• some people, it may even trigger difficulties in breathing.

​However, every person's symptoms of hay fever will be different and it is this difference in symptoms from one person to another that will point to a different homeopathic remedy for every patient.

In my clinic, I have several patients that suffer from hay fever allergies and their symptoms are managed with homeopathic remedies.

​They find relief with the remedies which are safe, natural and unlike conventional treatments which can have side effects and may not be recommended for all age groups or pregnant women, can be used by all.

Below are some of the traditional homeopathic remedies used for hay fever relief. 
​
These remedies are also useful for people suffering from any type of allergies that affect the nose or eyes with similar symptoms.

HOW TO TAKE HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES TO GET RELIEF FROM HAY FEVER ALLERGIES

Look through the remedies listed below to see which one matches your symptoms.

If there is no improvement after a couple of days  just reassess your symptoms and choose a different remedy that matches your symptoms more closely.

​You can take them 2-3 times per day for a few days or every few hours if the symptoms are very severe. GIVE THE REMEDIES 2-3 DAYS BEFORE YOU CHANGE TO ANOTHER REMEDY!
​
For instance, on a bout of sneezing, you can take the remedy every 15 minutes for an hour to stop it and then you can spread it to every few hours.

​For maintenance a morning and evening dose is sufficient.

​LET'S LOOK AT THE MOST HELPFUL HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES-MIXED POLLENS 30

Remember that for the Banerji Protocols you do not need to differentiate remedies, use the remedies that are written down and use those specific potencies.

For a more classical approach on choosing the remedy, you may find that the remedy that suits you may not cover all of the symptoms you are experiencing.

​Some of the symptoms could be slightly different but overall, you feel that that remedy as a whole is suited to you. 

Don't worry if this happens! I have never found a patient that displays ALL symptoms of a remedy. Try that remedy and if does not produce the results that you want, change to another one.
