Many of us are uncomfortably familiar with the sneezing, wheezing, and coughing of respiratory allergies. We either endure the symptoms, or we endure the side effects of the medications we take for the symptoms.
Fortunately, there’s a better choice.
Homeopathy is a time-tested system of medicine rooted in a unique philosophy. Instead of covering up superficial symptoms, homeopathic medicines work with the body to promote greater health.
The homeopathic approach to allergies is based on the realization that symptoms are the body’s attempts to correct an imbalance in the body. Homeopathy sees a bigger picture than simply a specific allergic reaction to a specific allergen. Rather, the problem is identified as the individual’s hypersensitivity that leads to these overreactions. Homeopathy addresses not only allergy symptoms, but the individual’s overall health as well.
Drawbacks of mainstream drugs
Although mainstream allergy drugs are heavily promoted through costly advertising, they may cause more harm than good. By suppressing symptoms, these products are suppressing your body’s efforts to restore balance and health.
Let’s look at a few common over-the-counter allergy products.
Antihistamines are often used to “dry up” a runny nose. However, a runny nose promotes drainage, an essential step in detoxifying your system.
In addition, antihistamines have been linked to undesirable side effects such as drowsiness, blurred vision, dizziness, loss of appetite, nausea, and dryness of the mouth, nose, and throat.
Steroid nasal sprays can effectively reduce swollen nasal tissues. However, like antihistamines, they address only the symptom. In addition, too-frequent or chronic use of nasal sprays is associated with a “rebound” effect, causing nasal passages to become even more congested.
Cough suppressants inhibit another important function. Productive coughs allow your lungs to rid themselves of phlegm and other wastes. Codeine (typically the active ingredient that suppresses coughs) has been linked with addiction and constipation.
Homeopathy’s effectiveness confirmed
There is a great deal of debate and uncertainty about exactly why homeopathy works. However, the “why” may be less important than the fact that it works very well for several common, chronic, non-life-threatening illnesses such as allergies and asthma.
For common respiratory allergies, homeopathic medicines and chiropractic care offer natural, affordable, and effective alternatives.
Homeopathic remedies fortify your body’s defense instead of disarming them. By promoting balance within your body, this natural system of medicine actually treats the underlying problem.
Perhaps best of all, homeopathy can treat allergies without the drawbacks of many conventional allergy preparations. Not only are you spared from enduring the allergies themselves, but you don’t have to suffer side effects!
