Allergy and Homoeopathy

Allergy is the individual sensitivity to a substance not exciting to others. This means that an allergic individual reacts to a stimulus which in general brings out no reaction in others. Allergic state is the best described as a perversion or perversions of mechanism of host defense.

 

The most common allergens include pollen plant, micro-organism and their products, animal tissues, digestants, cosmetics, drugs serums, article of clothing, dyes, industrial products, weather conditions (heat, cold, rains, etc) and psychic tensions.

 

The allergens can be introduced to host by exposure, contact, inhalation, oral administration.

The first site of action of the allergen could be skin, mucosal membranes (eg. respiratory mucosal membrane), endothelial lining (Intestines), vascular.

 

The clinical manifestation resulting from exposure of shock organ to allergen may be mainly cutaneous, respiratory, digestive, nervous circulatory or related to sense organ.

 

(When treating allergies we should remember that we should not treat allergy but rather the patient with allergy)

 

One allergen may cause one person intestinal symptoms, in other a migraine and the individual may react in different ways at different times.

Homoeopaths do not treat allergy, but they treat individuals with allergies. The situation in allergy is identified as a chronic miasm, one of the psoric disorders. Since allergy is a chronic manifestation psora, the family history. Past history contains the key to relive this patient distress. Suppressed infections must be sought in the history and to clear the symptoms a nosode is frequently indicated. Tuberculium,Psorinum, Lyssin, Pneumococcin, Syphyllinum, Pyrogenum, Meddorhinum are few of the nosodes used inlercurrently.

                

 

It is a cardinal requirement that a remedy applied on homoeopathic or curative grounds should be given in quantities to stimulate nature’s defenses or remove them in other words, instead of producing more symptoms.

There is so called modern conception but by no means new one, that this allergy can best be removed by giving minute dose of the same allergen that is causing factor. This form of medication corresponds very closely to what was called “Isopathy” an offshoot to Homoeopathy.
