Seasonal Sneeze Relief

Sick of antihistamines that dry your nose and fog your head?
Try these natural allergy fighters.

In a medical journal article on spring allergies, an astute doctor writes, "Nasal diseases have sometimes been regarded as disorders that are unimportant ...to those who do not have them." If you suffer from hay fever (also know as allergic rhinitis), you're one of many who can relate to the good doctor. Seasonal allergies affect nearly one in 10 Americans; some experts estimate that the number is as high as 20 percent. (Strangely, allergic rhinitis appears to be most common among the young and affluent.)

While spring allergies may not pose a life or death situation, symptoms can be so severe that they affect a patient's quality of life and ability to work. Allergies can disturb sleep, impair concentration and cause emotional problems. Conventional medicine has many anti-allergy treatments available, but these drugs often come with annoying side effects like drowsiness and dry mouth.

Homeopathic Allergy Remedies
To douse your spring allergy symptoms, look for the homeopathic remedy that matches your symptoms. Prepared combination remedies for hay fever are also available.

Many patients come to my office looking for a homeopathic remedy that is natural and safe without any side effects. Acute allergy symptoms respond well to homeopathic treatment.

In the DrFeder.com Natural Pharmacy we are pleased to feature a wide selection of homeopathic remedies. Most of them are in a 30C strength which is suitable for both children and adults. To order a remedy in a different strength or inquire about a remedy that isn't listed, please contact us. We'll find it for you!

For chronic and severe allergies, I recommend constitutional homeopathic treatment, in which a homeopathic remedy is chosen by a trained homeopath after a lengthy interview. This method can be very effective for the long-term resolution of allergy problems.
