The primary principle of homeopathy is known as the Law of Similars (or like cures like). That means that the treatments that would cause healthy people to get sick or develop certain symptoms will actually treat or cure people who already suffer from those ailments. Numerous homeopathic allergy treatments are used by homeopathic practitioners today.
Sinusitis/Nasal Discharge
Sinusitis is generally considered inflammation of sinus membranes. Nasal discharge often accompanies sinusitis. And according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, allergies are a common cause of the non-infectious form of sinusitis. Homeopathic treatments of sinusitis include:
Euphrasia (eyebright) 6X, which helps combat nasal discharge and watery eyes, and Thuja occidentatis (Arbor Vitae) 6X, which treats chronic sinusitis, green mucus and runny nose.
The "X" in a remedy refers to the portion of the dilution, in a ratio of 1to10. So a remedy with "6X" in its dosage means the dilution process occurred six times.
Hay Fever
According to The Mayo Clinic, hay fever is the result of an allergic reaction to allergens in the air such as dust and pollen. Some sufferers experience hay fever symptoms year-round, while others only suffer at certain times of the year.
According to The Annals of Internal Medicine website, Galphimia glauca proved effective in treating allergic rhinitis in a 1996 study conducted by R. Ludtke and M. Wiesenauer. According to naturalways.com and hpathy.com, additional homeopathic treatments for hay fever include Sabadilla (cevadilla seed) 6X, which treats red eyes, dry cough and sneezing; Sanquinaria canadensis (Blood Root) 6X, which helps reduce all symptoms of hay fever, headaches and rhinitis; and Arsenicum, which treats watery discharge and a stuffed-up nose.
Allergic Dermatitis
Allergic dermatitis, a type of eczema, is an inflammation of the outer skin. Homeopathic treatments include, according to hpathy.com: Graphites, which help with rough, dry skin and oozing fluid; Hepar sulph, which fights itching and puslike discharges; and Staphysagria, which helps with rashes and dry, itchy scabs.
Discharges
Discharges of fluid are a common symptom of allergies. Homeopathic treatments include Pulsatilla, which combats yellow discharge from the eyes, clogged ears and eyes that water easily.
