Dr- Allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever, is an allergic reaction. You have an allergy when your body overreacts to things that don’t cause problems for most people. These things are called allergens. Your body’s overreaction to the allergens is what causes symptoms.
Dr-Allergic rhinitis can either be intermittent or persistent. In many people with intermittent allergic rhinitis, an allergen – something that triggers an allergy – sets their symptoms off at about the same time each year. Most people with allergic rhinitis are sensitive to more than one allergen.
Fact- The burden of allergic rhinitis is enormous, constituting about 55% of all allergies.3 About 20-30% of Indian population suffers from at least one allergic disease.

What causes allergic rhinitis?
You have an allergy when your body overreacts to things that don’t cause problems for most people. These things are called allergens. If you have allergies, your body releases chemicals when you are exposed to an allergen. One type of chemical that your body releases is called histamine. Histamine is your body’s defense against the allergen. The release of histamine causes your symptoms.
Allergens that can cause perennial allergic rhinitis include:
Mold. Mold is common where water tends to collect, such as shower curtains and damp basements. It can also be found in rotting logs, hay, and mulch. This allergy is usually worse during humid and rainy weather.
Animal dander. Proteins found in the skin, saliva, and urine of furry pets such as cats and dogs are allergens. You can be exposed to dander when handling an animal or from house dust that contains dander.
Dust. Many allergens, including dust mites, are in dust. Dust mites are tiny living creatures found in bedding, mattresses, carpeting, and upholstered furniture. They live on dead skin cells and other things found in house dust.
P- fine. I understood all of this. So I am more sensitive when compared to others and I also am exposed to allergens, so how can homeopathy help me doc.
Dr- Like For all disease Treatment in Homeopathy for this too we treat the root cause. Like I said almost all the people are exposed to the same dust and allergens but only you and others few are sensitive, Every person would have some tendency to catch certain diseases. You have this particular tendency to catch allergy that’s all. so we identify why you are sensitive when compared to others and then we treat that sensitivity.
P- so when my sensitivity is treated I wont have this allergy ?
Dr- No once it is treated you will not have them again.
P- wow that’s nice, how long will I have to take treatment and will the medicine have any side effects ?
Dr- its difficult to tell as each person reacts in a different way. Not all are same you know. I Like ice creams but you don’t, same way each person’s reaction will also be different,
P- yaak I don’t like ice creams… Doc any side effects? You dint tell me …?
Dr- haha no there are no side effects in Homeoapthy treatment, from small babies of 2 months old till old people, its safe for all..
