Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever) is inflammation of the nose which occurs due to the hypersensitive reaction of our immune system to allergens in the air. The common signs and symptoms include repeated sneezing, itchy stuffy and runny nose, scratchy throat, itchy eyes with swelling, redness, and watering; headache, cough, fatigue, etc.
Allergy is often triggered by allergens like pollen, dust mites, animal dander, cat saliva, mold, etc. Homeopathy can help you obtain relief from this. Here’s a case of allergic rhinitis that homeopathy treated effectively.
Case study
A 34-year-old female patient (PIN: 45944) approached Life Force Homeopathy, Jayanagar Branch on 3rd August 2021 with the symptoms of allergic rhinitis which she was suffering from for 1.5 years. She was presenting with symptoms such as continuous bouts of sneezing in the early morning and midnight. She also had nose blockage at night.
She was getting severe episodes 1-2 times a year. A severe episode would last for 2-3 hours. Her complaints would get aggravated mostly after having a head-bath and eating sweets. She was also allergic to pollen, dust, and a strong smell.
When asked about her treatment history, the patient told us that she didn’t take any treatment so far for her allergic complaints and this was the first time she was consulting for her complaints. Her family history was also asked but no one else had allergic issues in her family. Her father and mother were hypertensive.
A detailed case history was taken considering her mental and physical generals.

She had average perspiration, and she was tolerant to both extremes of climate. Her bowels were satisfactory, and she had no urinary symptoms. She had a regular menstrual cycle and no major menstrual symptoms as such.
Her physical examination was done and her weight and BP were checked and updated.
