Oh this Sneezing.

Hello everyone..

Today i want to write something about most of people suffer now a days…. You hear sneezs & coughs around u many times when u r in crowd.

Yah its all about irritating Allergic Reactions.. It looks like most innocent disease but its not. Ask the ppl who suffer it they go crazy bcoz of its symptoms.

So starting with its intro. “We can say Otherwise harmless & innocent substances when trigger distressing symptoms & hypersensitivity reactions in Immune System is called Allergic Reaction.”

AR also known as “Hay Fever” is type of Inflamation in the nose & connecting mucus membrane due to overreaction of Immune System from allergens.

Common Allergens may include dust, pollens, mites, animal danders, mold, animal saliva, hair spray, perfumes etc. etc.

Why Few People get this & others are tolerating those particles well???

Answer is ur Hypersensitive (IS – Immune System). Immunology is deep science & exactly how this happens needs great length of understanding but briefly ur IS has few cells which differentiate foreign particle entering to ur body from any route as harmless or harmful?

In normal human beings this is working smoothly but in certain people IS fails to recognize harmless particles & it mistakenly sends msgs to other cells as threat to body – Alarming Signals like fire brigade.

In response to this IS cells release Histamine- this is natural chemical which helps fight ur body against Allergens. Due to its effects on nasal blood vessels, Throat & Eyes u get Allergic Rhinitis (AR) symptoms, & that’s why doctor prescribes Anti Histamines drugs that control ur symptoms but that doesn’t correct ur Natural IS responses, they don’t heal ur IS, they don’t help ur IS to stop sending wrong msgs about threat to other body cells.

Risk Factors:

Chemical Exposure,

Pollution in air,

Humidity,

Passive or active Smoking,

Windy weather,

Fumes,

Wood smoke,

Plus this tendency can run from parents to kids. Child with very early age can show symptoms of Allergic reactions.

Symptoms:

Continuosly Sneezing, Stuffy Nose, Itchy nose, Coughing, Sore Throat, Itchy Eyes, Red Eyes, Watery eyes, Head Heavyness, Heavy eyelids, Sometimes Eczema, Itchy skin, & Blisters.

Allergic Rhinitis in Children:

Very common in Children, it typically appears before the age of 10, along with above symptoms they also have Allergic Conjuctivitis, Wheezing, Difficult Breathing, Fever & Childhood Asthma.

Some have Seasonal Allergies & some have Perennial Allergies ( throughout the yr).

Diagnosis:

is from Clinical Presentation in mild to moderate cases, but in severe cases- skin allergic test is done along with some blood tests.

Complications of AR:

Not able to sleep due to block nose,

Mouth Breathing,

Later on development of Asthma,

Freq. Ear Infections,

Chronic Sinusitis,

Atopic Eczema,

Freq Headaches,

Work & Study disturbance due to AR.

Side effects of Anti Histamines Drugs are drowsiness, anxiety, headaches.

Treatment:

Generally Doctors give

Anti histamines – they prevent ur body from making histamine & thus controlling all symptoms but this will not correct ur Immune System.

Decongestants – for stuffy nose & sinus but not for long period as once u stop using this symptoms rebound back with much severity.

Eye drops & Nasal Sprays indeed helpful. Helps breathing during night.

In severe cases Corticosteroids used by Doctors. Prolonged use of this has many side effects esp in Children.

Now Lets focus on some Natural Treatments:

– Immunobooster Kadha

– Nasal Saline Irrigation.

– Yoga & Pranayam – helps boost ur functions of respiratory tract. Increases Oxygen in blood circulation, and some yoga methods help clean Sinuses also.

– Homeopathic Constitutional Medicines and Booster Doses Benefits:-

In classical scientific homeopathy we do detail Case Taking of Patient. Then go through its deep study then we decide which one medicine amongst thousands of medicines is suitable for u.

During Acute attacks we give Acute Remedies that control ur AR symptoms & then once acute condition subsides we give medicines to increase ur immunity.

Homeopathy works at immunological level, It helps modify Hypersensitivity Reactions to particles which are harmless to other ppl.

It helps IS to differentiate between harmless particles from harmful particles.

Prevents Histamine secretions so then there will be no need to take Anti Histamine drugs.

Patient will not feel drowsiness after Hpathy plus chances of development of Childhood Asthma are decreased.

Less episodes of Infections & Fever so no need of Antibiotics.

Preventing Hpathy Medicines – u can take before exposure to allergen u r susceptible.

These Medicines are safe and do not have any side effects, So best for Children, Pregnant Women, Breastfeeding Women and all adults.

You can Prevent ur child from Side Effects of AntiBiotics & Antihistamines and Help heal them Naturally. 🙂

Thank You,

Take care,
