Allergies are more than just sneezing or rashes; your body’s immune system reacts to something harmless as if it's a threat. When exposed to an allergen, your immune system releases IgE protein. This triggers the release of histamines and other chemicals, causing your allergy symptoms. According to the Indian Journal of Allergy (2023), over 30% of urban Indians experience allergic reactions triggered by common everyday substances.

At Dr Batra’s®, we help you understand the root cause of your allergies. Our approach combines a detailed diagnosis with gentle homeopathy to treat from within, offering long-term relief without side effects.

What Are the Most Common Allergy Triggers?

Allergies can occur due to substances you inhale, ingest, or touch. Here are the top categories and their triggers:

  1. Respiratory Allergens
  • Pollen from trees, grasses, and flowers (commonly causes hay fever)
  • Dust mites in beds, carpets, and upholstery
  • Animal dander from pets
  • Strong odours like perfumes, cleaning products
  • Air pollution or mould spores
  1. Skin Allergens
  • Insect bites or stings (mosquitoes, bees, ticks)
  • Detergents, cosmetics, or soaps
  • Nickel in jewellery or metal buckles
  • Sun exposure causing rashes (photosensitivity)
  • Medications or topical creams
  1. Food Allergens
  • Nuts (especially peanuts), shellfish, milk, and eggs
  • Wheat, soy, and gluten
  • Food preservatives or colour additives

Insight into global study by MDPI

Allergies are rising, affecting 20–30% of all age groups. Factors like pollution, lifestyle changes, and climate change drive this increase, making allergies a growing global health concern.

What Causes Allergies to Develop?

While allergies often run in families, they can also be triggered by environmental factors or lifestyle changes. Common causes include:

  • Genetics: If one parent has an allergy, there’s a 50% chance the child may have one too
  • Pollution and climate change: Rising allergens in the air are increasing sensitivity
  • Overuse of sanitizers and antibiotics: Weakens immune tolerance
  • Stress: Can trigger or worsen allergic responses
  • Lack of early exposure: Children not exposed to common microbes may develop allergies later

Homeopathy for Allergy Relief – A Natural Solution

Homeopathy treats allergies by balancing your immune system instead of suppressing symptoms. It works well for:

  • Respiratory allergies like hay fever, sneezing, and sinusitis
  • Skin allergies like hives, itching, eczema
  • Food-related sensitivities and gut inflammation
  • Chronic conditions with seasonal flare-ups

Homeopathy provides:

  • Root-cause healing without dependency
  • Customised remedies based on your unique trigger pattern
  • No side effects suitable even for children and elderly

Dr Batra’s® pro tip:

Sometimes, the cause of an allergy isn’t what you suspect. It may be a combination of mild triggers building up over time. Identifying these hidden culprits early can prevent severe flare-ups.

FAQs

Can stress cause or worsen allergies?

Yes. Stress can weaken your immune system, making you more sensitive to allergens. It may also worsen allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching, or skin rashes, especially in chronic allergy sufferers.

Are food allergies permanent?

Not always. Some food allergies, especially in children, may be reduced with the right care. Avoidance and timely treatment can help manage symptoms and, in some cases, gradually improve tolerance.

Can homeopathy treat all types of allergies?

Yes. Homeopathy helps treat a wide range of skin, respiratory, or food-related allergies by targeting the root cause and strengthening immunity without side effects, offering long-term relief.
