Do you look forward to the winter season? If you are a seasonal allergy sufferer, the return of winter allergies may bother you. Winter brings an end to pollen and hay fever-related allergies but the change in weather can still be a concern. The cold and harsher winters make you more likely to spend time indoors. This increases your exposure to indoor allergens. When your body’s immune system reacts abnormally or is hypersensitive to certain allergens, it causes an allergic reaction. This can be to a particular food, weather, pollen, fur, dust, or other allergens. In response to the allergens, your body releases chemicals. This, in turn, can cause a skin allergy, respiratory allergy or can also affect the digestive system of the individual.

According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, here are some of the most common indoor allergens that can make winter an allergy season too:

  • Dust and dust mites- This is one of the most common allergy triggers. Dust mites thrive in carpets, bedding or furniture.
  • Pet dander- This is the dead skin flakes of pets such as dogs or cats.
  • Mold- This occurs in damp areas of the house such as bathrooms and basements.
  • Cockroach droppings- These can trigger asthma and allergic reactions.

Allergens can prompt a host of symptoms like:

  • Itching
  • Sneezing
  • Wheezing
  • Difficulty in breathing
  • Inflammation
  • Skin rashes
  • Running nose
  • Swelling

What are the most common types of allergies?

Allergies affecting the skin

During the winter, the skin can dry out, causing itching, irritation, cuts and cracks. Atopic dermatitis or contact dermatitis is the most common skin allergy that many undergo during the winter season. This is often associated with other allergic diseases like frequent colds (hay fever), asthma or food allergy. Atopic dermatitis often occurs in families having a strong link to allergic diseases.

Allergies affecting the respiratory system

Allergic reactions of the respiratory system cause uneasy symptoms affecting your nose, lungs, throat, sinuses and ears. This leads to allergic rhinitis, allergic bronchitis and asthma. Globally, allergic rhinitis affects 10-30% of the population. (Source: American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology)

The winter season is intense on respiratory symptoms as the cold air during this season is dry. When you inhale the dry air, the lining of your airways evaporates faster. The airways get irritated which worsens the symptoms of asthma and bronchitis. Also, the cold air releases more histamine in your airways that trigger wheezing and cause breathing difficulty.

Severe respiratory allergies can also lead to severe asthma symptoms such as:

  • Chest tightness
  • Breathing rapidly
  • Fatigue
  • Anxiety

How homeopathy helps in dealing with winter allergies?

Unlike conventional treatments, homeopathy does not suppress the symptoms, but homeopathy uses a holistic approach to treat the root cause of your allergies. In a clinical study of ear, nose and throat allergies, 147 people were prescribed individualized and constitutional homeopathic treatment. A success rate of 87.6% was observed. (Source: NCBI)

Homeopathy helps to enhance the body’s immune response without any side effects.  It stimulates your body’s healing system to fight the allergens, rather than just suppressing the allergic symptoms.

Homeopathy is one of the best treatment options to get relief from the distress and annoyance of all types of allergies. It also looks at the different factors like genetics and physical and emotional well-being. Homeopathic treatment increases your resistance power to the disease. This is how the propensity to get allergic reactions and the relapses of allergic attacks are gradually reduced. Homeopathy treatment for winter allergies helps to decrease the frequency, duration, and intensity of your allergy attacks. More importantly, it also helps to reduce the dependency on antihistamines which have the potential of producing side effects. This is how homeopathy offers long-term allergy management.
