Hay fever can be miserable. For a start it comes every year. And, although it isn’t serious, it does inconvenience you. Sneezing in spasms in public is embarrassing. Itchy eyes can be wearing. A streaming nose means you need a box of tissues with you at all times. If you constantly scratch your itchy palate with your tongue, people may think you’re a bit weird.
What’s s/he doing, they may ask themselves.
But you can learn to deal with your hay fever easily, inexpensively and yourself. All you need to do is to become a bit of a detective and work out your most common symptoms. That and any relevant environmental conditions that may be the cause of your hay fever.
So let’s take a look at the common homeopathic medicines for hay fever for a variety of symptoms.
Aconite is a very useful and highly effective medicine which will stop your symptoms in their tracks, if they came about after a dry wind. In Europe, dry winds are normally easterly, as they are here in Western Australia. But in eastern Australia, they would be westerly. In north America, the east coast would have dry westerly winds, whereas the west coast will have dry easterly winds.
I remember hearing of a child taken badly with appendicitis after a strong dry wind. Luckily a homeopathic doctor was on hand at the hospital. Aconite was administered, which completely resolved the problem. No surgery was required.
But your symptoms may come on at any time with the main focus on your eyes, which are red, itchy and stream. If this sounds familiar, then the homeopathic medicine Euphrasia is likely to help you.
If your symptoms are a streaming nose, so much so that you stuff tissues up it to try to stop the flow, then the homeopathic medicine Allium cepa is more likely to be the one for you.
An itchy palate, nose and/or throat may cause you to rub your tongue continuously over the affected part, or constantly rub your nose, making it red. You may get some odd looks. The homeopathic medicine Wyethia is going to give you the most relief.
Sneezing in spams not only interferes with your life, but people think you might have something contagious, so tend to avoid you. Help is at hand with a homeopathic medicine called Sabadilla.
Home prescribing homeopathic medicines are available from homeopathic pharmacies, health shops, some pharmacies and online.
Rest assured, that even if you selected the wrong medicine and it does you no good, neither will it do you any harm. Just don’t keep taking it after about six doses, if you get no relief from it.
