Causes
It becomes very difficult to identify the actual causative factor of allergy as it can be endogenous (Internal) or Exogenous (External). One may be allergic to anything under the sun, inclusive of thesun, as they say. One can become allergic to anything at any time despite of earlier tolerance. Predominantly though, allergy can be very specific to a specific person. Some Common Allergens are – Dust, Mites, Pollen, Feathers, Dampness, Food items like Eggs, Meat, Milk, and Rice, Clothes like Polyester, Nylon, and Acrylic, and certain Metals used for artificial ornaments, Medicineslike Sulpha, etc.
Symptoms
Allergy is nothing but Hypersensitivity or an exaggerated response of the body to certain external or internal agents, whereby body reacts in the form of symptoms such as:-
- itching
- running of the nose
- wheeze
- inflammation
- swelling
- skin rash, etc.
Manage
The foremost and basic way to manage a case of allergy is to identify the causative agent (or allergen) and completely stay away from it till the time the patient is able to attain the desired imunity with the help of Homoeopathic medication.
Approaches
In the Allopathic mode of treatment, the way to treat any allergy case is with the help of anti-allergic drugs and medicines. What happens as a result of this suppression of the natural defense mechanism and the reaction of the body cells to an allergen is that the already low body resistance goes further down and slowly and gradually the dosage and amount of anti-allergic medicine required to provide relief to the patient keeps on increasing at a steady or at times even rapid pace. The whole scenario eventually makes a patient immuno-compromised case. On the other hand, with the Homoeopathic mode of treatment, the total emphasis of the doctor is to provide a medicine that can act as a catalyst in increasing the body's resistance and as a result helps in increasing the patient's immunity and self-defense. With this approach, the patient is able to root out the allergen out of hi/her system and can enjoy or use the same substance that was earlier causing havoc in his/her body system
