Homeopathy is highly effective in the treatment of allergies and fully capable of stimulating the organism to heal to the point of complete relief from all allergy symptoms. Many of us have suffered from allergies at one time in our life, and usually the best treatment offered was symptomatic relief through avoidance of the allergen or through medication. Homeopathy, on the other hand, addresses the cause of the sensitivity to allergens at the deepest possible level; avoiding the allergen (the substance responsible for the allergic response) or resorting to suppression of symptoms through ongoing symptomatic treatment becomes unnecessary once this sensitivity has been eliminated.
True healing is largely independent of dietary considerations: the healthy person should not only feel extra-healthy on a perfect diet, but also remain symptom-free when consuming a somewhat imperfect diet. With respect to allergies, the healthy person will remain healthy even when exposed to unhealthy environmental influences.

Please note: for severe and or chronic allergies, constitutional homeopathic care is the necessary to eliminate the susceptibility. That being said here is a short, incomplete list of the different types of allergies and their indicated remedy:
- Watery eyes and burning nasal discharge. Sneezing happens but may not be constant. There may be pain in the forehead. People with these type of conditions feel better when they are inside the house in a cool room. They feel worse in warm rooms or in cold weather. Hot foods and drinks make them feel bad as well. The remedy used to treat this condition is Allium Cepa 6X.
- Constant sneezing, followed by an irritatating cough, sore nostrils and redness from the constant sneezing. The throat may also burn. Asthma may accompany the allergy. People with this type of allergy feel worse from sneezing and warm areas. The correct remedy to take is Arsenicum Iodatum 6X.
- Another instance of allergy affects people primarily in the eyes. Eyes are swollen and sensitive to bright light. Eyes are watery. Little discharge from nose. The mucus drips to the back of the throat. People generally feel better by resting and sleeping. Warm weather and hot areas make this allergy feel worse. Being indoors and out in the evening makes the allergy feel worse. The proper remedy for this situation is Euphrasia 6X.
- The final allergy basically caused a sore throat. Swallowing is very painful. Eyes are red and swollen. Eyes are also watery. The throat becomes very dry. Headaches make you feel like your head is shrinking. People feel better from eating and drink hot foods and drinks. The allergy is made worse from cold weather and cold drinks.

As you can see, there are many remedies to treat seasonal allergies with homeopathy. I have just listed 4 of these remedies and the type of allergies needed for each remedy. There are other allergies and other remedies that can be taken as well. See a homeopathic doctor if you need help matching your allergies to the homeopathic remedies. If you know some other type of homeopathic remedies that are used for allergies that are effective list them in the comments. We hope with the help of homeopathy that you will survive this allergy season.
In the case of severe allergies and asthma it is important never to reduce or discontinue the use of medications until the allergic tendency has clearly and permanently been eliminated, and even then always in consultation with the treating physician. Likewise it is important to maintain access to emergency facilities in case of a dangerous exacerbation throughout treatment, and to continue carrying antihistamines, inhalers, an EpiPen adrenaline injector, etc. whenever away from home for use in case of a severe reaction.
