“My son cannot tolerate cold drinks. The moment he drinks a little, he starts coughing!”

“Whenever I do dusting at home, my child is down with breathlessness!”

“Going to a party is really a sorry feeling for him. He just cannot eat anything and has to content himself observing others enjoying!”

When taken to the doctor, the child is labeled as ‘allergic’ or ‘allergy prone’. Hearing these terms the parents are left shattered.

WHAT IS AN ALLERGY?

Allergy is the hypersensitive (abnormal) response to an allergen otherwise harmless to the body. Certain substances like milk and other dairy products, eggs, wheat, peanuts, seafood, dust, pollen which are harmless to a normal individual, trigger the immune response in allergic individuals. The body treats these harmless substances ‘wrongly’ as harmful and initiates the immune system to produce antibodies against these substances, which in turn causes release of chemicals like histamine into the blood stream. The histamine then acts on a person’s eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin or gastro-intestinal tract and causes the symptoms of ALLERGY.

In short, allergy means that your body is over reacting to a normal substance. Allergies may manifest in the respiratory system as Asthma, gastro-intestinal tract as Wheat allergy, skin as Atopic dermatitis etc..

TREATMENTS:

Conventional Approach

Modern medicine treats this allergy by giving chemicals (anti-histamines) that would stop the release of histamine and advise you to avoid coming in contact with such substances to which you are allergic. For example, to avoid cold drinks and ice creams if you suffer from asthma or to avoid wheat for the whole life if you have wheat allergy. But this is running away from the problem rather than facing it.

Homoeopathic and Lifestyle Clinic’s Approach

All allergic agents are taken care of and we treat allergy by building up the immune system to such an extent that the body itself manages to fight back without provoking an allergic response in an individual.

Contrary to the conventional approach, homoeopathic medicines enable such patients to be completely free from allergy and lead a normal life. They can again take ice-creams and other products to which they were allergic in the past.

Some patients suffer from allergy and some doesn’t. It means the individual has tendency to get allergy. This tendency to fall sick comes from genetic predispositions. This indicates that in case of twins both should suffer, but usually we find one is allergic while the other is healthy or suffers from some other illness. This shows that only genetic predisposition is not responsible for the disease, but something else is also responsible in that individual to suffer from that particular disease, and this is an individual’s constitution. Hence, both genetic predisposition and constitution gives the patient, an individuality.

This is what is homoeopathic philosophy explained by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann 200 years ago has been proved to be true by latest genome theory and researches in genetic studies.

We are successfully treating cases of different kinds of allergy ranging from dust allergies, allergic response to food and insect bites to even drug allergies.
