    Treating sinusitis naturally (and successfully) with homeopathy means you have given your immune system a much needed boost. It is only because you have a compromised immunity that you have sinusitis. By raising its level of efficiency, you should also notice other areas of improvement, particularly better or more balanced energy.

    Sinusitis is medically described as an inflammation of the sinuses, which accompanies rhinitis (nasal discharge). Sinusitis can be painful if there is no way for the debris of the inflammatory process to drain away.

    This can occur when your nose or sinuses become blocked.

    If you have had this condition for an extended period of time and have received many treatments, then I suggest that the best way to permanently resolve it is by consulting with a professional homeopath. However, if you have not had it long and have not had much treatment for it, then you may be able to totally resolve it yourself, with some homeopathic home prescribing.

    Silica is one of the common home prescribing medicines and one of its main focuses is on the ears, nose and throat.

    As you will need to be able to match your symptoms to some of those of the right medicine, let’s look at the strong keynotes of Silica:

    • nasal obstruction
    • sinusitis with thick post nasal discharge
    • acute or chronic ear infection, dizziness or noises in the ear
    • tonsillitis, pharyngitis or enlarged throat glands
    • generally worse in cold conditions
    • recurring infections of any part including colds and the flu
    • delayed development in children

    Treating sinusitis naturally means you resolve more than you intended to.

    Natural Hay Fever Treatments

    10 January, 2010 (05:00) | Allergies | By: admin

    There are probably as many natural hay fever treatments as there are people suffering with it. But at the core, the reason you suffer is that you have a lowered immunity.

    Many people have little idea of what an immune system is because you can’t touch it. It isn’t tangible. Rather, it is only known by your ailments and how you manage them without any help.

    Those people with high energy and no ailments, or ailments which are dealt with by an intense fever which is quickly over, have strong and healthy immunity. Those who have low energy and seem to catch everything around which lasts for days or weeks, have low immune systems.

    The hay fever part simply means that this is your personal area of weakness. Or one of them.

    So how can you raise your immunity?

    Here, we are concerned with two important ways, although I’m sure there are many more.

    By taking control of your health and looking after yourself. Here are some long term suggestions.

    • Eat well (no processed food, limit dairy, cut back on animal protein, increase fruit and vegetables).
    • Get out into the sun and into nature.
    • Learn to relax. Take time out.
    • Take regular exercise.
    • Deal with stresses holistically, as they arise.

    That’s all very well, but what about now? Isn’t there a way to quickly raise your immune system by using natural hay fever treatments? The good news is that there is. And it comes from homeopathic treatment.

    Pulsatilla is a great homeopathic medicine that will bring your hay fever to a halt, as long as your symptoms agree.

    Here are some of the common and strong symptoms of Pulsatilla type hay fever:

    • with sneezing which is worse in a warm room, the sun or hot weather
    • worse in the evening or, less commonly in the afternoon
    • better in open air, especially cool, cool weather
    • with chronic nasal obstruction especially right nostril

    Other symptoms include a general lack of thirst – you’re always being told to drink more. And changeable symptoms, including moods. One minute you may be very emotional and weepy, then next you may be irritable.

    This medicine is especially good for children, but not exclusively.

    Pained by Red, Itching Skin? Just What Are Hives and How Did You Get Them?

    28 October, 2009 (04:02) | Allergies | By: admin

    The case of hives you have experienced are the itchy, red splotches on your skin that can come quickly and disappear over the course of minutes or hours. Almost all types of allergy hives cause itching. They usually form on the surface of the skin. Sometimes they appear in the soft tissues of the mouth, throat and eyes. Hives are the  reaction of the body to an allergen, this is where the name allergy comes from. On some occasions, hives can be so severe, they become life-threatening affecting the whole body not just the skin. This systemic condition is called anaphylaxis.

    When you come in contact with certain foods, cosmetics, soaps and detergents , medicines or even substances in your environment, your immune system can become negatively affected. You can experience an allergic reaction to any number of these items and your body goes on defense, prompting immune cells to produce a chemical called histamine. Histamine affects the  small blood vessels in the skin, the capillaries, causing them to swell and liquids are pooled under the skin causing welts known as hives.

    Histamines can also be released in the bloodstream due to chronic infections systemic disease such as asthma, a condition that causes inflammation and obstruction of the airways in the lungs, blood products given intravenously, or into the veins. A healthcare professional can diagnose hives after examining the affected person and listening to an account of the event. Medical experts refer to chronic hives as cases that lasts longer than 6 weeks. This may happen to anyone, but it is usually most common in women aged 40-60 years. These chronic hive cases can last for months or years, but they are very unusual.

    According to findings of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, allergy hives affects an estimated 20 % of our population. The rash associated with hives can be brought on by anything as simple as an allergic reaction to food. Hives can also be triggered by insect stings and bites, emotional and physical stress and certain physical agents: heat, cold, sunlight, or water. Medical professionals refer to hives as urticaria.

    You find a good  hives treatment by using some over the counter antihistamine medications but be sure to read about possible side effects and make sure you do not have a reaction to them before you rely upon them. Many people have had relief from their hives with diphenhydramine, sold as Benadryl. Cetirizine, marketed as Zyrtec, has been recommended as well as loratadine (Alavert and Claritin). Medical technicians use Epinephrine to treat very severe reactions such as anaphylaxis.

    With the advent of so called “Alternative Medicine”, there is a whole new awareness of safer, more natural cures and remedies for hives and related allergic reactions of the body. On the forefront of this more holistic approach to human imbalances is the science of Homeopathy.

    The science of Homeopathy is more than 200 hundred years old. It is based on the philosophy that certain natural substances can stimulate the body’s own innate healing systems. This then allows the body to heal itself, often faster than with so called modern medicines.

    Homeopathy is a very unique system of medicine. The ingredients that are used are at levels generally understood to be non-toxic and develop no negative side effects. The use of homeopathic ingredients for the treatment of hives, or any other particular condition, is based on “homeopathic provings” recorded in the “Homeopathic Materia Medica”.
