Allergic Rhinitis, often referred to as hay fever, is a common condition that affects the respiratory tract and causes persistent discomfort. While conventional medicine may offer short-term relief through antihistamines and decongestants, homeopathy provides a holistic and long-lasting approach. It works by enhancing the body’s natural defense mechanism and targeting the root cause of the allergy.
What is Allergic Rhinitis?
Allergic Rhinitis is an allergic reaction that occurs when the immune system overreacts to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or mold. This leads to inflammation in the nasal passages and results in symptoms that can significantly affect daily life. Homeopathy aims to desensitize the body’s reaction to allergens and reduce recurrence by addressing the individual’s overall constitution and immune response.
