Spring and summer can be a time of despair for hayfever and allergy sufferers. Over the last three decades statistics have shown increasing numbers of adults and children reportedly suffering from hayfever, asthma and food allergies as a result of a hyperactive immune system.

Conventional medicines may ease symptoms for a short time but do not necessarily alleviate the underlying problem and are not tolerated by everyone. 

Symptoms vary from person to person and for those plagued with debilitating symptoms it can also mean time of work.  A survey estimated that hayfever would cost British businesses £324 million in sick days over the summer months.(1)

A survey on behalf of Nelsons Homeopathy Dispensary showed that 72% of sufferers would prefer a natural alternative to anti-histamines and 79% would like to access natural treatments on the NHS.(2)

Homeopathy offers a natural solution for allergy sufferers, helping alleviate the symptoms short term and long term as well as boosting the immune response.

Homeopathy treatment is individualised

Homeopathy recognizes that no two people will present the exact same allergy symptoms, therefore treatment is individualized rather than a blanket approach of “one size fits all”.

For example one person may having streaming eyes, sneezing, hoarseness, and a raw sore throat which feels worse in the morning and while indoors. Another person may have an extreme itch in the nose, palate and throat, which is worse in the evening and is temporarily relieved when outdoors.  As the symptoms differ, so too will the prescribed remedy.

Treat the cause and boost the immune response 

Ideally the best way to eradicate allergies is to treat the underlying cause, which leads to allergic reactions rather than simply treating the symptoms that manifest. If the immune system can be strengthened then the body will no longer need to produce the troublesome symptoms. While this process is underway “Acute” remedies can be used during the hayfever/allergic season to bring more immediate relief while the immune response is building and improving.

No need to wait for Hayfever season to start to begin treatment

It is not necessary to wait for hayfever symptoms to start in order to begin homeopathic treatment. In fact it is preferable to start before the season commences. However if you symptoms have already kicked in acute remedies can be prescribed as needed. 

A client’s testimonial

“I was prompted to contact Eileen due to worsening of hay-fever, asthma and allergic symptoms.  I noticed immediate improvement after a week of starting the remedy. I have continued to progress and now have little or no symptoms. My breathing is much clearer and I have little or no reaction to dogs or cats, whereas before my reaction was instant. I found the consultation sessions to be very helpful and thorough and would have no hesitation in recommending Eileen to anybody who suffers from asthma/allergies/hay fever”. Paul
