HOMEOPATHY TREATMENT FOR ALLERGY

We are living in an environment where every moment we take many foreign substances whether useful

or useless like pollutants, chemicals, virus, bacteria, allergens into our bodies. Our immune system

recognizes them and destroys them if feel harmful for body. The immune system consists of various

immune cells and tissues that works together constantly and consistently to keep us healthy and alive.

Our environment, society, life style has been changed a lot in the last few decades. The spreading of

industrialization, urbanization has putted bad impact upon our environment. The pollution level is

increasing day by day at every level in air, water and even in our foods. Most air pollution is created by

the people in the form of emission of smokes from the factories, cars, planes etc. Those put severe

impact on our body’s immune system. Besides those there are various other factors that also equally

responsible for impairing our immune system such as increase of stress level, staying in a pressure

packed life style, our faulty diet habits, lack of physical activities, suppression of emotions, anger, grieves

like psychological expression, suppression of various skin diseases - all those also putting severe impact

in our immune system. Thus the healthy function of the immune system is misguiding and becoming

ineffective or hyperactive at many situation which produces various health problems. Inhaling or

ingesting of substances like dust, pollens, pet dander, taking shellfish, carbs though harmless

substances, but becomes harmful for many person whose immune system has been compromised by

the above mentioned factors. Those cause allergic reaction to some peoples. In allergic reaction the

immune cell B-cell or B lymphocyte which is a part of immune components produces more antibodies

against those substances thinking of a threat for the body.

Allergen or Antigen

Allergens or Antigens are the foreign particles or foreign cells or someforeign proteins that Initiates the allergic reactions when ingested or inhaledby an allergic immune sensitive person

Allergic immune sensitive person

As a result the allergic symptoms are initiated like recurrent sneezing, runny nose, stoppage of nose,

itching and redness of eyes and nose etc. But at the same time those same substances does not initiate

any allergic reaction to some other persons. It is because the immune system of those sensitize person

reacts adversely to the harmless substances because of their hypersensitive immune function. So

allergies are nothing but the over reaction of the immune system to some specific substances that it

misidentifies as harmful.

Role of T cell & B cell in allergy

The T lymphocytes (T cells) and B lymphocytes (B cells) plays the major rolein protecting our body from various allergens. The T cells activate the B Cellsto produce IgE antibodies.

Allergies are the most common health issues in these days. It is estimated that 40 to 50 percentage of

total population of India suffer from some form of allergy in his/her life time. It is the fourth leading

chronic diseases after heart diseases, diabetes, and cancer. The common treatment though checks the

symptoms, but cannot offer a long term cure to those allergic patients. The long term cure can only be

possible if the hypersensitive nature of the immune system is modified or rectified. Homeopathy helps

in this regards as because it treats the patient as a whole so corrects the hyperactive immune system to

its normal form. For any treatment including allergy the homeopathy treatment target the patient as a

whole unlike conventional treatment of specific type treatment. So if a patient takes homeopathy

treatment it cures the root cause of the disease so gives a long-term therapeutic effect in comparison to

other conventional treatment. In allergy if a person is taking homeopathy treatment it not only gives

relief to his acute present health complaints as well as cure the cause of the allergy so offer a long

lasting treatment.

Mast cell and histamines

Mast cells are found in different body parts which contains some granularsubstances called histamines. The IgE antibody after released from B cell getattach over the cell surface of mast cell. When the antigen and antibodyreaction takes place on the mast cell that rapture the mast cell to releasethe histamine which are responsible for developing allergic symptoms likerepeated sneezing, itching of eyes nose, runny nose etc.

Scope of Homeopathy in Allergy

Homeopathy Treatment

Allergic immune sensitive person

Hypersensitive immune system Healthy immune

system

Homeopathy treatment diminishes the hypersensitivity nature of theimmune system of the allergic immune sensitive person to a healthyfunctioning immune system. Thus the allergic reaction gradually cures byproper homeopathy treatment
