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:
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
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
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.
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.
