Homeopathic medicines for allergic rhinitis are very effective in the treatment of sneezing and other attendant symptoms.
Allergic Rhinitis

Allergic Rhinitis or hay fever is a common problem causing sneezing, running nose and watery discharge from eyes. The following homeopathic medicines for allergic rhinitis are much more effective in permanently curing this problem –

  1. Allium Cepa
  2. Arsenic Album
  3. Natrum Mur
  4. Merc Sol
  5. Arundo

    Before we come to the indications suggesting these individual medicines, let us understand a little bit more about allergic rhinitis or hay fever.

What is Allergic Rhinitis or Hay Fever?

Allergic Rhinitis or Hay Fever is an allergic disorder causing inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the nasal cavity. This inflammation occurs when one comes in contact with something that one is allergic to. These could be pollens or moulds or dust or smoke or any strong odour. This problem occurs more often in the autumn and spring season as the pollens are widespread at this time.

What are the symptoms of Allergic Rhinitis or Hay Fever?

The common symptoms of allergic rhinitis are sneezing, running nose and watery discharge from the eyes. There is irritation in the nose which causes sneezing to start and then watery discharge from the nose begins. There is discharge from the posterior nares that drains into the throat. Post nasal drip is the name for this. One tends to lose the sense of smell.

In chronic cases, the nose stuffs up. One cannot breathe through the nose easily. Such patients have to breathe through their mouth and keep their mouth open. Night time is the most difficult for such patients as they find it difficult to sleep. Mouth dries up as they breathe through the mouth instead of the nose. Sometimes, ears also tend to get blocked.

Why you should not take anti-allergic medicines for Allergic Rhinitis

The conventional treatment of allergic rhinitis is to keep giving anti-allergic medicines or antihistaminics like Cetrizine or Levocitrizine. In fact these anti allergic medicines are used to treat all sorts of allergies, whether nasal or skin. They tend to provide temporary relief. You take an anti histaminic and you are fine for some hours. The sneezing stops and the running nose stops. The itching in the nose and eyes disappears. But the effect lasts only for some hours. Once the effect wears off, the problem returns in full force. I have had patients coming to me who had been taking these anti allergic medicines for years together.

These anti histaminics are sleep inducing and often people tend to feel sleepy or dizzy during the daytime, which can be dangerous at times. The easy availability and low cost makes these anti allergic medicines easily accessible. In fact they have become sort of home remedies for allergies and people just keep taking them without even a prescription from a qualified doctor.

Homeopathic treatment of Allergic Rhinitis or Hay Fever

Homeopathy is best for treating all sorts of allergies or allergic disorders. The reason for this is that it does not try to treat the symptoms of the allergies. Instead, it works to root out the cause of these allergies. The root cause in allergies happens to be a hyperactivity of the immune system.

This hyperactive immune system goes into an overdrive when it comes in contact with certain things. These things may be harmless in themselves. But the immune system tends to look at them as offenders and tries to react in a defensive manner. It tries to wash them off by producing excess mucous. The homeopathic medicines repair the immune system and the hyperactivity is corrected. Then the body reacts normally to the same things that used to cause the allergies.

I need to add here that this is not at all an exhaustive list. This means that depending upon the symptoms of the patients, some other medicines might be indicated. A brief description of the symptoms indicating each individual medicine is being given below-

 1. Allium Cepa- One of the best Homeopathic medicines for Allergic Rhinitis or Hay Fever with watery eyes

When there is watery discharge from the eyes along with running nose, Allium Cepa is one of the best Homeopathic medicines for Allergic Rhinitis or Hay Fever. The watery discharge from the nose is thin and acrid. At the same time, the discharge from the eyes is bland. The eyes become red and are sensitive to light. There is burning in the nose and eyes as from the cutting of onions. This medicine is in fact made from onions and it mimics the symptoms that occur when one cuts onions. There is the same burning in the eyes that we get when onions are being cut nearby in our presence. The patient feels better in the open air.

2. Arsenic Album- One of the best Homeopathic remedies for Allergic Rhinitis with intense thirst

In cases where there is intense thirst and the patient feels worse in open air, Arsenic Album is one of the best Homeopathic medicines for Allergic Rhinitis or Hay Fever. There is copious watery and excoriating discharge from the nose. There may be restlessness and anxiety with the other symptoms of hay fever. Intense thirst is present though the patient drinks a little bit of water at one time. The symptoms are likely to be worse at night. There is an increased sense of weakness which is often disproportionate to the disease.

3. Natrum Mur- One of the best Homeopathic medicines for Allergic Rhinitis with sneezing

In cases where there is a lot of sneezing and in fact, the symptoms start with sneezing only, Natrum Mur does wonders and is one of the best homeopathic medicines for hay fever or allergic rhinitis. There is intense dryness of the mouth and the mucous membranes. The discharge from the nose is thin and watery and resembles the white of an egg. There is an increased desire to eat salt or salty food.

4. Merc Sol- One of the best Homeopathic medicines for Allergic Rhinitis with sensitivity to heat and cold

When there is increased sensitivity to both heat and cold and the patient cannot tolerate either, Merc Sol is very effective and is one of the best homeopathic medicines for allergic rhinitis or hay fever. There is a lot of sneezing and watery discharge from the nose. The patient is worse even in damp or wet weather. Increased sweating is another indication for this medicine.

There is profuse salivation in the mouth. At times the salivation is so much that it keeps the mouth wet most of the time. Despite this increased salivation, the patient keeps on feeling thirsty. There may be foul smell from the mouth.

5. Arundo- One of the best Homeopathic medicines for Allergic Rhinitis with intense itching

When the episode begins with intense itching in the palate and the nose, Arundo is very much suited to the case and is one of the best homeopathic medicines for allergic rhinitis or hay fever. There is a lot of burning and itching in the nose, the eyes and the roof of the mouth. Sense of smell  diminishes.

  21. We have been taking homeopathic remedies for years now. My 90 year-old mother has those nasal allergies. She starts reading a magazine, newspaper, or book, or deal with clothes and starts sneezing. It’s very annoying for her. She blows her nose after, of course, but no runny nose afterwards. I’m pretty sure is the dust, but we dust here quite a bit so as not to have too much around. She has a laid back personality, and likes to talk and be around people and go out. She doesn’t like people raising their voices or loud noises. She has taken Histaminum Hydrochloricum but doesn’t help. She has used the olive leaf nasal spray with mixed results (maybe she doesn’t use the pump properly, but I must say those types of pumps are kind of hard to press in the position you have to have it). What other remedy would help?
    Thank You.

Marut Arora — Allergic Rhinitis

Sneezing had made me go nuts, well almost. My eyes would start watering as if I was crying. Every day, I was taking 2-3 anti-allergic medicines like Allegra or Cetrizine. Even the slightest exposure to cold air or a sip of cold water would trigger a bout of sneezing which was difficult to control. Since childhood, I had been fond of cold drinks, ice cream and even loved the cold weather. But for the past couple of years, I could not enjoy any of these things. When the best allergy specialists and ENT doctors could not help me, I thought of some alternative medicines. At this point, I contacted Dr Harsh Sharma. It did not take me more than a couple of weeks to start improving. I stopped taking all anti-allergic medicines. With the homeopathic treatment, my sneezing bouts became infrequent and the watery eyes became a thing of the past. I am now back to my original self and am able to enjoy my life.
