Have I already told you about my time in prison? And about my release?
You know, I had that spoon for digging…
No, of course I'm only joking!
When I speak of prison, I mean the restrictions I had to suffer because of my allergies. When I was a little girl (and later still as a young woman) my severe allergies forced me to stay at home…
… I had to give up many foods and avoid public places because I was surrounded there by perfume, additives, exhaust fumes, pesticides and so on…
Even an invitation to dinner at friends' house was a complete ordeal. It was as if the allergies increased in proportion to the number of medications prescribed to me by the doctor.
The more medicines I had to take, the deeper I was buried in my prison.
Until the day I was able to free myself from my prison.
Of course I didn't have to dig through the prison wall with a spoon, but I think I would have tried it if it had promised me a cure.
Instead I found a good homeopath who, with his treatment, brought me back to the land of the living.
I would also like to give you the opportunity to get to the root of your allergies and I will write more about that elsewhere. But I would also like to give you a small SOS guide to help relieve symptoms during the high season.
Here I would like to introduce a handful of homeopathic single remedies that will help you with specific symptoms. I know that there is more behind an allergy than what I can recommend here, but it's at least a good start.
Here are the homeopathic remedies:
Allium cepa C30
Allium cepa is the red onion. The symptoms of this remedy are easy to remember — just think about what happens when you cut an onion: a runny, burning nose with watery discharge and sneezing fits.
Apis mellifica C30
You need Apis mellifica (the honeybee) when the nose is painfully blocked and improves on inhaling cold air. Allergies can cause inflammation that makes the nasal mucosa swell and makes breathing difficult. Apis mellifica helps to relieve this inflammation. That's important — we all know that healthy breathing is a good thing!
Galphimia glauca C6
Hay fever in particular can cause violent sneezing fits. Galphimia from the home medicine cabinet helps immediately. This remedy also has a generally very positive effect on hay fever.
Histaminum hydrochloricum C30
Histamine is released by the body in response to an allergen. Instead of fighting this reaction with an antihistamine, you can take Histaminum hydrochloricum. That way you are always prepared for hay fever, hives and insect stings and can treat them gently and sustainably.
Hydrastis canadensis C6
Do you know someone who snores in their sleep because mucus runs down the back of their throat? Would you like to put a pillow over their head? Don't do it! Give them Hydrastis canadensis (goldenseal). It is a wonderful remedy — even if your loved ones don't snore. You give Hydrastis when the mucus is thick and yellow.
Keep these remedies in your home medicine kit so that you always have them to hand when needed.
I hope that you too can free yourself from the shackles of allergy. Whatever you decide: homeopathy is an extremely versatile form of therapy and there are many routes to the goal. Start — it's worth it!
