Does Nature Hate You?

Say “No” to allergies and hay fever this season!We survived another long winter and we’re only too happy to shed the layers of feathers, fur, and flannel and welcome in spring! However, if you’re plagued with leaking and stuffed sinuses, profuse tearing and sneezing your way to Kansas, it’s im-possible to enjoy the pleasures of the season.

Allergies, or what is commonly known as ‘hay fever’ or allergic rhinitis, are caused by grass and tree pollen in the air, common in late spring and sum-mer. There is also a perennial allergic rhinitis that is chronic and caused by indoor allergens, such as dust mites, pet dander, mold, and miscellaneous pollen that may be present indoors.

The body’s reaction has good intentions. When you experience hay fever, it’s your body’s defense system revving up to protect you. The problem is that your immune system overreacts by identify-ing harmless airborne substances as enemies. It soldiers up and creates an army of antibodies and they each fire chemicals of histamine into your bloodstream. 1

The end results are cold-like symptoms that in-clude:

-Itchy eyes, sneezing -coughing, swollen -blue-coloured skin under the eyes (allergic shiners) -postnasal drip -fatigue -runny nose and nasal congestion

and sneezing.

Have you ever wondered why people react differently to the same illness? While there may be three people suffering from spring allergies, each one can react differently. This is due to the fact that we each have our own unique biological makeup! Mainstream sci-ence research in the study of Genomics in relation to cancer and other hereditary diseases is finally discov-ering what homoeopaths have known for generations.

Homoeopathic medicines offer a holistic approach in not only safely treating your symptoms overall, but as a way to possibly permanently rid the body of hay fever allergies. With homoeopathic treatment, there are no side effects that include dry mouth, drowsi-ness, and nosebleeds common with conventional treatment of anti-histamines and nasal sprays.

How Homeopathy works

Homoeopathy treats each person individually, as a whole person (mind, body, spirit), and not as sepa-rate individual body parts. Every person is born with unique hereditary predispositions for health and disease, different codes and lifestyles. Homoeopathy, as a holistic treatment, recognizes that each person must be treated individually based on his or her ge-netic predisposition, health history and lifestyle.

Here are some examples of how homoeopathic rem-edies are designed to fit the individual reactions to allergies:

Sabadilla: There may be much discharge, but it does not burn. However, the nose may be itchy with fre-quent sneezing. Being outdoors in the open air actu-

Homoeopathy is a therapeutic form of medicine which uses natural substances in micro-doses to stimulate the natural healing mechanisms. Homoeo-pathic medicines are therapeutically active micro-doses of botanical, biological and mineral sub-stances. They are safe and have been used for over 200 years by 600 million people in over 65 countries. Homoeopathic Medicines are regulated by Health Canada.
