Seasonal Allergies and Natural remedies for seasonal allergy

Natural remedies for seasonal allergy are popular and highly demanded due to the effectiveness and safest. In some states of the US, spring seasonal allergies start at the end of January and the beginning of February and continue until June or even July. Warm temperatures during the winter season force vegetation to fertilize early, which means the pollution after mild winter starts even before the expectant time. A wet spring stimulates fast vegetation development and causes a proliferation of mold. When this happens the allergic reactions initiated in early spring would last up until mid-autumn.

While the timing and severity of an allergy season vary across the country, the following climate factors also can influence how bad your symptoms might be. Some factors may cause the symptoms of seasonal allergies to be more aggressive during specific periods of the season. These factors include changes in climate, a time when pollutions begin and more. That’s why in different areas of the country we are observing different severity of the symptoms and different quality. These factors are different for different geographical and climate regions. They also are diminishing from East to West and from North to South.

• Sapling, lawn, and flowers increase the pollens’ productions during chilly nights and hot days.
• Molds develop rapidly in high temperatures and increase dampness.
• Morning hours are the time when the pollen concentration is the highest.
• Rain rinses the pollen off, but the concentration of the pollen in the air usually increases after raindrops.
• During the calm days when the air is steady, flying allergens are almost inactive.
• During the breezy and hot time concentration of pollen climbs up.
• Since allergens found almost in all geographical areas there is no reason to move to a different location. It really does not help.

Ragweed is the guiltiest allergen in the fall season. This herb belongs to a floral class of weeds and its spread worldwide polluting during late summer and autumn seasons.

There are many other plants that cause allergies in a fall including Cocklebur, Tumbleweed, Sagebrush, etc.

Natural remedies for seasonal allergies

Majority people overwhelmed with running nose and watery eyes gotten from seasonal allergies start taking antihistamine drugs. At some point, they realize that the effectiveness of these medicines is very low. Many of them start to experience even side effects. That’s why more and more individuals switch to natural remedies for seasonal allergies and start treatment with acupuncture, homeopathy, herbal medicine, and other alternative techniques.

Acupuncture for seasonal allergies

The effectiveness of acupuncture for seasonal allergies had been proved by many studies performed by the most prestigious clinics worldwide.

In a study circulated on 19 February 2013 in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, scientists scanned 422 individuals that suffered from seasonal allergies.

The scientists allocated these patients into 3 groups that received different treatments.

1. Patients received 12 individually customized acupuncture sessions. They were allowed to use Claritin if necessary.
2. Patients received 12 sham acupuncture sessions and used Claritin if necessary
3. Patients were not treated with acupuncture and used Claritin as prescribed.

After the completion of study all results were collected and statistically systematized:

• 80% of patients that were treated with classic acupuncture (group #1) reported noticeable progress. 90% of them did not even use Claritin.
• 15% from group #2 reported some improvement and stated that they use less amount of Claritin than before. This fact speaks in favor of the so-called placebo effect, which is well-known in medical practice.
• Patients from group #3 did not report any difference.

Homeopathic remedies for seasonal allergies

Homeopathic remedies for seasonal allergies are not widely accepted by modern western physicians in the United. Each homeopath believes that at some point this medical philosophy becomes respected by the majority of conventional physicians. When it finally happens physicians will make-up that they have at all times believe in homeopathy and its principles. Doctors will point to the traditional allergy healing technique when the “micro dosages” of allergen infused into the patient’s organism – vaccination.

Somehow it is correct in some measure, but homeopathic practitioners use significantly lesser doses than western medicine allergy vaccinations. Also, what is more, important that homeopathy is not about micro dosages, but about the “likes cure likes” philosophy, which again sounds exactly like allergic shots that assume infusing into the patient organism the “element” that causes symptoms?

A clinical study performed by Dr. Taylor-Reilly from the University of Glasgow (Scotland) proved the helpfulness of homeopathic remedies for seasonal allergies. David Taylor-Reilly is a professor of biochemistry. He also practices homeopathy for more than 20 years. The result of the research was published in the Lancet magazine. This publication demonstrated that homeopathically treated extracts of 12 different ingredients commonly used for hay fever treatment appeared to be very helpful in decreasing the severity of seasonal allergies symptoms comparing to patients that received a placebo.
