The allergy season begins with hazel pollen at the end of winter and continues until late summer. Pollen in the air irritates the nasal and ocular mucous membranes, causing sensitive individuals to develop symptoms such as severe bouts of sneezing accompanied by watery eyes. The nose may run, or a runny nose may alternate with nasal congestion. Other symptoms may include itching of the roof of the mouth and ears and, in some patients, a mild form of asthma accompanied by a feeling of tightness in the chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Homeopathic treatment of hay fever is considered highly successful, as a homeopath can select a remedy tailored to each individual (a constitutional remedy). Homeopathic remedies may help relieve acute symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Swollen, burning eyes with mild, non-irritating tears; profuse, watery, irritating nasal discharge that irritates the skin beneath the nose; frequent sneezing and tearing; headache at the back of the head. Symptoms worsen in warm, enclosed spaces and in the evening, and are worse on the left side (possibly spreading to the right). Fresh air brings relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Burning pain and red eyes, with burning tears; improvement with cold compresses; swelling of the eyes and eyelids; eye inflammation; watery nasal discharge; itching in the throat and sore throat (relieved by cold drinks), with throat pain radiating to the ears; swelling of the lips, tongue, larynx and entire face, and oedema of the uvula. Symptoms worsen markedly with heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Severely burning, swollen eyes with acrid tears that irritate the skin; thin, burning nasal discharge that irritates the upper lip; frequent nasal congestion, usually on the right side; irritation in one spot triggers violent sneezing without relief. The patient feels exhausted and chilly, and feels better indoors and in warm surroundings (warm compresses on the eyes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Runny nose with thick, yellow or purulent discharge; chronic nasal obstruction; discharge from the right nostril; middle ear inflammation with chronic discharge. Heat worsens symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hay fever, particularly in late summer or autumn; despite a runny nose, there is a sensation of nasal congestion; persistent sneezing. Symptoms improve with rest and indoors but worsen considerably after rain or in cold, damp weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Burning, itchy eyes; burning tears that irritate the skin around the eyes; constant tearing; swollen, burning eyelids; photophobia; eyelids stuck together in the morning; profuse, watery, non-irritating nasal discharge; intense sneezing; cough (present during the day). Blinking, rubbing and darkness bring relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heavy, tired eyelids; difficulty keeping the eyes open; double vision; ptosis; sluggish accommodation; runny nose, especially on the left side; nasal discharge that feels as though hot water is running through the nose; severe, exhausting sneezing in the morning; dry, burning throat, hot face and aching limbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Very dry eyes or watery eyes that are sensitive to light; impaired vision; nasal congestion; frequent sneezing; dryness of the nostrils; lung pain when sneezing or coughing. Symptoms worsen with cold breezes and dust. Acts strongly on the nasal mucosa and regulates mucus secretion, depending on the potency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tearing worsens in the wind, outdoors and while reading; photosensitivity; watery nasal discharge resembling egg white, accompanied by a sensation of nasal congestion; frequent, intense sneezing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Intense, spasmodic sneezing in distressing, prolonged bouts, especially in the morning; watery nasal discharge in the morning and during the day, much worse indoors; nasal congestion at night and outdoors in cold weather; very sensitive to cold and external stimuli such as light and smells, and irritable. Symptoms improve in a warm, enclosed space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mild tearing; itchy eyes and a gritty sensation; yellow, purulent discharge; throbbing above the eyes, worse when bending forward; conjunctivitis with itching, dry eyes and photophobia; mild nasal discharge; thick, yellow-green discharge; shifting facial pain (ears, neck); throbbing at the root of the nose, worse when bending forward; sneezing. Heat worsens symptoms, while fresh air, cold compresses and comfort bring relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Itching and burning in the roof of the mouth and eyes; scratching and rubbing relieve the burning pain; right-sided frontal headaches. Symptoms worsen in cold, damp weather, in draughts, after alcohol and when touched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Congestion; inflammation of the tear duct (in infants); styes on the eyelids; chronic dry nasal congestion; loss of smell; thick, purulent, foul-smelling postnasal discharge; nasal ulceration; sore throat with pain resembling a splinter stuck in the throat; \u201callergic face\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A gritty sensation in the eyes; inflammation of the eyelids; burning and irritation along the eyelid margins, with red eyelid edges; thick, yellow discharge alternating with clear, sometimes foul-smelling mucus; nasal congestion, worse on the right side; bouts of sneezing, worse in the evening; marked sensitivity to smells. Heat worsens symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editorial note: The Slovenian source contains a duplicated and incomplete sentence in the introductory section, which I have corrected for readability. I have also translated the content as supplied, without independently verifying the medical claims. Homeopathy has not been shown to be effective for treating allergic rhinitis beyond placebo, and it should not replace evidence-based treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
