Hayfever/Rhinitis(Allergies)

© Christine Wyndham-Thomas

For many of us, Summer is a beautiful time of year and means: sunbathing, swimming in the sea, eating candyflosses and icecreams, and doing everything at a snail's pace! But not for everyone - unfortunately, the summer season can be a very uncomfortable time for Hayfever sufferers - I know because my husband suffers with it, although he doesn't get it as bad now as he once did. So, for all you sufferers out there, I hope you'll find some relief from the advice I give below. In respect of new readers I strongly recommend you read my earlier articles, in particular 'A Remedy to Hand' and 'Remedies - A Basic Understanding'. If you have any questions, or there's a problem I can help you with, either EMAIL ME or write your comments below. I'll do my best to answer them.

Hayfever affects 2-3 million people in Britain every year, and the statistics are growing; an allergy to mould spores from trees and various pollens are the usual causes. However, in the case of Rhinitis, it still has the symptoms of Hayfever but is an all-year condition, aggravated by a food allergy and can be irritated by anything: cigarette smoke, other smells; or by feathers, fur, dust mites etc. Closely related to both Hayfever and Rhinitis are the symptoms of Asthma and Eczema.

Conventional medicine, although helpful, can cause severe side effects. And if you have been suffering from it for a number of years, at least in Britain, you have the right to ask your Doctor to refer you to a Qualified Homeopath.

The following remedies are appropriate for the symptoms listed, and I cannot stress strongly enough the importance that you pick a remedy that matches your symptoms precisely, or as closely as possible; and should your symptoms change, then so should the remedy. Ideally, if you know exactly what it is that you are allergic to then speak to a Qualified Homeopath who will be able to help you more than what I can here.

One other thing you should bear in mind: there is no overnight miracle for the cure of Hayfever. However, adopting a Homeopathic solution can make the condition better within one to three years and, within time, should clear up completely.

Take DULCAMARA if you find that you're eyes are watering and swollen and that you are constantly sneezing; and if you are worse when outdoors, on getting a chill, and from suppressed sweat after any form of exertion.
