Is allergy affecting your everyday life? 

HOMOEOPATHY AND ITS ROLE IN ALLERGIES 

Homoeopathy being a holistic science, works not only on the pathology but also, on the physique and the mind of the person. It acts on the physical and mental level, boosting the body’s own defence system to cope with the exposure to allergens rather than suppressing the allergic symptoms.

Allergy in general terms means dislike or intolerance, but in Medical terms, it means a disorder in which the body becomes hypersensitive to a particular allergen or stimulus. Here when a person comes in contact with substances that they are allergic to will intern cause a chain of reaction in an allergic person, like itching, redness, swelling etc.

To understand the general reaction of the human body when the allergic person is exposed to the stimulus, there are certain terms that need to be clear:

ALLERGEN: An agent or substance which produces Allergy.

ANTIBODY: A substance produced by the body to fight disease in reaction to antigens.

ANTIGEN: Any substance which under favourable conditions can stimulate the production of antibodies.
