Homeopathic Remedies For Allergies
-
Allium Cepa
Eyes swell and are sensitive to light.
Tears are profuse but do not irritate the skin around the eyes
(Note:
Euphrasia
has very irritating eye discharge but non-irritating nasal discharge). Nose and eyes
have great amounts of
watery discharge. Frequent sneezing. Acrid nasal discharge burns,
makes the nose and upper lip sore. Post-nasal drainage makes the throat feel raw.
The person is extremely thirsty. A headache may be felt in the back of the head or in the forehead in the sinus area.
Better with open air,
especially if the air is cool. Cough is worse when cool air is inhaled. Symptoms worse indoors or
in a warm room.
-
Ambrosia
This is the homeopathic remedy made from
ragweed. It is used for fall ragweed
allergies that occur usually in September - October.
Eyes itch and water a lot, the throat may be irritated
and the breathing asthmatic. The nose and head may feel very stuffed up.
Used if your allergies comes from exposure to ragweed pollen.
-
Arsenicum Album
Asthma is often associated with hay fever allergy. Mental
agitation, anxiety, and restlessness occur. Eyes burn, and tears are hot and
acrid, stinging the face and cheeks. Sneezing can be extreme. There may be a
tickle in one spot inside the nose that is not relieved by sneezing. Heavy mucus
drainage from the nose alternates with blockage of the nose. Nasal discharge is
watery, thin and burning and is not yellow or green. The upper lip is
irritated and raw from the discharge. There is extreme thirst for warm drinks,
which are sipped. Often, breathing is labored. The person is
chilly and intensely intolerant of light. Better with warm applications to the face and
nose, elevating the head, and wrapping up the body.
Sitting up is often the best position. Wet weather, weather changes and being by
the ocean aggravate the symptoms. Worse from midnight
until 2:00 a.m.
-
Arsenicum Iodatum
Constant desire to sneeze with irritation and
tickling of the nose. Watery, irritating and excoriating discharge comes out the
nose and runs down the back of the throat. If the allergy continues
for a long period of time, the thin discharge changes to a thick and yellow,
hanging discharge that becomes a post-nasal drip, irritating the back of the
throat. There is a feeling of blockage within the head and eustachian tubes. Trouble hearing because of this fluid blockage. Better outside in the open air. Worse with sneezing and
dry, cold weather, windy and foggy weather and tobacco smoke. Worse from exertion and being indoors.
-
Arum Triphyllum
Nasal discharge is extremely acrid and excoriating,
making
raw sores on the front of the nose and upper lip. (Allergies
associated with the
Arsenicum Iodatum
remedy produce irritation but do not produce sores.) The nose can
be obstructed, causing the person to breathe through the mouth. There is pain
over the top part of the nose, with large scabs often forming on the right side.
The person constantly picks at the nose and lips until they bleed. The lips,
roof of the mouth, and palate are often sore or raw and burning; the lips are
also chapped. The corners of the mouth can become raw, chapped and cracked.
Profuse saliva. The voice becomes hoarse, worse from overuse
and talking a lot. The face may feel chapped, as if a cold wind were blowing on
it. Cold and wet winds, lying down, and the heat of a room aggravate the
allergies.
-
Arundo
The roof of the mouth is extremely itchy, and the
eyes and ear
canals itch and burn. The nostrils itch annoyingly. Sneezing and loss of
smell.
-
Dulcamara
For those who work in a damp or cold

profuse and watery, but does not irritate the nose or
upper lip (opposite of
Allium Cepa, which does). A frontal headache may

room is helpful.

nasal discharge, like the raw white of an egg. This thin discharge often
lasts from one to three days and then the nose may become stuffy, making

coating, especially around the edges. Sometimes canker sores develop on the lips
and the corners of the mouth. A salt craving is associated
with this type of allergy. The mouth is dry, and the thirst seems unquenchable.

headache accompanies these allergies, which can be worse over the eyes.
Allergies are worse in the morning from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. and in the sun when
