花粉症のセルフケアとアレルギー

ホメオパシーで花粉症に何ができるの?

 

花粉症とは

花粉に対するアレルギーです。

現代医学ではアレルギー反応の抗原抗体反応という現象で捉えられるレベルにはアプローチできるが、

なぜそれがおきるのか、という目に見えないエネルギーレベルでの深い原因までは到達できません。

現象をコントロールするだけです。

ホメオパシーのレメディは心身に深いエネルギーレベルで反応するので、

根本的な解決が起きやすくなります。

様々なポテンシーを使うことで、多様なレベルに働きかけることができます。

 

方や、ハーブティーもエネルギーレベルに働きかけますが、

エネルギーレベルには様々な階層があり、

物質を成分がなくなる迄に薄めて振盪を加えたホメオパシーのレメディが非常に深い階層にまで及ぶのとは一線を画します。

 

アレルギーとは

自分でないもの(非自己)に対して自己が攻撃するメカニズムです。

非自己(抗原)として働く物質の注射や摂取により抗体を生じ抗原抗体反応を起こす結果、

抗原となった物質に対する生体の反応が変わる現象です。

広義には免疫すなわち抗原の害作用への抵抗の増大も含まれますが、

狭義には反応の変化の結果、傷害的な過敏症を呈するものをいいます。

アレルギーの原因となる物質をアレルゲンといいます。

 

抗体はイミュノグロブリンと呼ばれ様々なタイプがあります。

花粉症で問題になるのはIgEといわれるものです。

免疫抗体IgEが産出されて抗原抗体反応を起こすと、ヒスタミンなどの顆粒状のものを放出して

くしゃみや花粉症的な症状が起きます。

 

病原菌などへの抗原抗体反応は必要だが、

反応しなくてもいいものにまで反応するのがアレルギーです。

レメディの選び方・・・あまり考えなくてもいい、分かりやすいレメディの選び方は?

Mixed-pollen
  ( pollen-花粉のことです)
          
・様々な花粉をミックスして作られた便利なレメディです。
・ホメオパシーの鉄則「似たものが似たものを癒す」がぴったりあてはまるようなレメディですね!   でも・・・
・減感作療法のホメオパシー版のようなもので、花粉への感受性を弱めるだけです。ただし・・・
・かなり緩和します!  10のものが53、あるいは1になったり、それだけでもう感じ方が全然ちがい
ます。
・80%の人が34割方症状が緩和されると報告されています。
・草刈りでアレルギー症状が起きた時には効果が大きいです。
        
Allium-cepa 
 (赤玉ねぎから作られたレメディです)
              
・玉ねぎを切ったら花粉症と似た症状がおきますね。
・これもまた、花粉によって起こる症状の類似です。
・とりわけ鼻、熱くて段々とただれてくる感じがするときに。
・60~70%の人に効果がありますが、反応の深さはMixed-pollenよりずっと深く効いてくれます。

Euphrasia 
 アイブライト   (目の場合に)

・鼻はひどくないけれど、目が痒い、目玉を出して洗いたい!
・目の粘膜に効いてくれます。守備範囲は50~60%です。

Sabadilla サヴァディラ
  中南米に自生するユリ科の植物の種(鼻の場合に)

・焼け付くような鼻水が止まらない!
・鼻から喉にかけての症状がひどいが、「のどに何か大きな病を抱えている」ような妄想、「他人により
かかりたい」ような妄想をもちます。この点ではPulsatillaによく似ています。
Puls. よりもっと重い感じで、一人でじっとしていたがり、気力が少し足りない感じがします。
・外気や光に敏感。暖かい室内で症状が軽減されます。
  (Allium cepa は暖かい室内で症状が酷くなります)
・寒がりで喉が渇きます。
            
参考:Allium-cepa や Euphrasiaにはあまりメンタルな症状像はありません。

Pulsatilla

・「見捨てられるとへの恐怖」を非常にもっているレメディです。見捨てられないためには何でもする、という特徴があります。
・非常に変わりやすい症状を持ち、「よく風邪になびくレメディ」と呼ばれています。気分が変わりやす
くめそめそしやすいタイプの人に。
・締め切った部屋を嫌い風通しが悪いと悪化します。
・どちらか片方だけが花粉症になります。
Sabad.に比べると割とエネルギーがあってかなり動き回ります。
      
Natrum muriaticum

・鼻から卵白のような薄くて水っぽいカタルが出て、その後乾燥して詰まり、味覚と臭覚が無くなるよう
なときに。
・唇、皮膚、便、粘膜が乾く、頭痛を伴う、午前中に悪化する、というときに効果を発揮します。


もうすこし深いレメディについて
・ホメオパシーの原則は「・・・病には・・・のレメディ」という選び方はしません。その人全体へのレ
メディ、花粉症になりやすいエネルギー、花粉症と縁の深いレメディというものがあり、それを飲むことで深く作用するのです。いわばレメディはオーダーオメードです。
・よって本来なら根本的なレメディを処方するのが最適ですが、自分で見つけることは不可能です。経験
を積んだ専門家でさえもすぐにはみつけられず、経験と学習を経ながら徐々に見つけて行きます。
・その人全体に対してレメディを投与し、その人の持つ凸凹が少しずつ埋まり、患っていたことや悩みが
自然に離れていって本質的な成長をする中で、より全てのレベルで健康に健全になっていくのがホメオパシー本来の姿です。

*たとえばArsenicum. (砒素)
・花粉症と割と縁を持ちやすいレメディのひとつです。
・アレルギーや免疫システムにダイレクトに関係しています。
・非常にきちきちとしていて、「これは自分だ、これは自分じゃない」ということに敏感なレメディで
す。
・「自分に関係する、自分に関係しない。自分に都合がいい、これは都合が良くない。」など、自己ということに非常に敏感な結果、非自己の進入に敏感で不安になり、何でもないものにも反応する傾向があります。
・まさしくこれは、アレルギーになりやすい傾向をその存在のあり方の中に持っています。
・花粉にとどまらず、免疫的な抗原抗体というレベルよりもずっと深いところでのあらゆる意味で非自 己からの侵入に恐怖を感じるために、自分以外のものをコントロールしたくなります。
・潔癖症、死への恐怖や不安、自分ひとりでいたくない、脅迫的な秩序観念があります。
・呼吸や消化など、外から入ってきて自己と同一化させていく過程をどんな風に受け入れ成長していくかに問題があるので、消化器官全てに関係してくるレメディです。

その他のレメディ
・SolidagoVirga アキノキリンソウ
  アキノキリンソウの花粉からくる症状に

Solanum Lycopersicum トマト
  鼻水、目のジンジンした花粉症に

Alum   アルミナ
  何か漂っているような状態
     (花粉がそうであるように)
Arsenicum iod.
  刺激性の水っぽい鼻水がでて、鼻の粘膜が痛みます。
Arsenicum  と似ていますが、こちらの方はむしろ暑がりです)。

Sinapis nigra .
  鼻づまりが左右交互で起こります。左側の鼻づまりは夕方から夜にかけてひどくなります。暖かい涙が出て、分泌物はどろりとして固まリます。

HEYFEAVER
HOMEOPATHY FOR HAYFEVER

Approximately one in four of the UK population will suffer from an allergy at some point in their lives, according to the British Allergy Foundation and the number of people affected is increasing by five per cent each year. Allergic rhinitis is the cause of seasonal misery for millions of people all over the world. It most commonly takes the form of hay fever in the summer, a reaction to hatching dust mites in the spring or autumn or a sensitivity to airborne allergens like pet hair which can occur at any time. Hay fever symptoms make an appearance when an allergen such as pollen triggers a hypersensitive reaction in the eyes, nose, throat and/or chest. Contact with the allergen sets off the release of histamine that causes the characteristic inflammation, streaming and congestion that are so characteristic of a nasty hay fever reaction. The potential range of symptoms can vary hugely from a mild sensation of irritation to great distress and discomfort.

Homeopathy is a form of complementary healthcare that works with our natural healing process and has been successfully used for over 200 years. The word comes from the Greek and means similar suffering. This refers to the central philosophy that a substance that can produce symptoms in a healthy person, can cure those symptoms in a sick person. For example a person suffering from hay fever, might be given the remedy Allium Cepa (prepared from an onion), because a healthy person chopping an onion usually experiences watering eyes and irritation. However, the substances are given in minute doses prepared in a special way to avoid unwanted side effects, making them safe to use where conventional drugs would be dangerous or inadvisable (eg during pregnancy or when treating infants)

At Helios we receive hundreds of calls and many visitors to our pharmacy shop asking for help with allergies. The most common enquiry is through the spring and summer months for help with hayfever and below are some of the top hayfever remedies that can help alleviate your symptoms. For more permanent relief a consultation with a qualified Homeopath is recommended.




Main homeopathic remedies for Hay fever depending on the symptoms:

Helios Hay Fever Combination 30c
This is the No 1 remedy for hayfever, and covers irritated eyes and nose, sneezing etc. It is made by combining the three top remedies used to alleviate the most common hay fever symptoms, Allium Cepa, Sabadilla and Euphrasia.

Mix Pollens and Grasses 30c
A combination made using a variety of pollens from plants, trees and various grasses which is often used in conjunction with Helios Hayfever Combination, on its own, or with any other indicated remedy.

Allium Cepa 30c
This remedy’s symptoms are characterized by a strong burning sensation from the nose and eyes accompanied by a watery discharge . The eyes are sensitive to light, often red and irritated, while the nose can become red and sore from the burning, corrosive mucus. There can be violent sneezing, the voice can be hoarse and there can be a hacking cough. The kind of hay fever which can benefit from Allium cepa often comes on worse in spring or August, is worse for being in a warm room and better off for cool air. One peculiarity of this remedy is that it particularly affects the left eye or nostril or may start off on the left side and spread to the right.

Sabadilla 30c
Sabadilla is a common hay fever remedy, which is most often indicated during the early spring or at harvest time. There can be persistent sneezing, transparent mucus and an itchy, stuffed up nose. The eyes can water in the open air, from sunlight or whilst sneezing. Symptoms are also worse for cold air and there is usually improvement from eating warm food and warm drinks or from keeping warm.

Euphrasia 30c
Euphrasia has a long history of use in herbalism for eye conditions so it is no surprise that the main homeopathic use is for conditions that seem to centre on the eyes. It is useful for very watery eyes, when the person may feel the need to wipe or rub them constantly. The eyelids (particularly lower) can swell up and there can be a thick, infected discharge from the eye itself. There can be the sensation of a foreign body (such as a grain of sand) in the eyes and they can become very gummed up and sore. The nasal and throat symptoms are less marked but include watery mucus, which is easily discharged. With Euphrasia the symptoms are worse for sunlight, at night-time, for windy weather and indoors, and better for the cool, open air. Euphrasia tincture can also be used as a local eyewash by diluting one drop in an eyebath of cooled sterile water. It is very soothing for sore eyes at any time – even if using a different remedy internally.





The following are also useful remedies for Hay fever depending on the symptoms:

Arsenicum Album 30c
Arsenicum is indicated in people who have frequent sneezing and a blocked nose accompanied with a watery discharge. Unlike Allium cepa the symptoms are worse outside and better for staying in the house and keeping warm. There can be inflammation of the eyes with burning and swelling which is somewhat relieved by warm bathing. The right side is generally more affected than the left and there can be a marked worsening of symptoms during the night, particularly on lying down. Generally the person requiring Arsenicum may feel unduly restless or anxious during the attack and find it difficult to get warm – even in hot weather.

Arundo 30c
Hayfever begins with burning and itching of the palate and conjunctiva. Annoying itching of the roof of the mouth and in the nostrils sometimes with pain at the root of the nose. Initially the nose can discharge clear mucus which can then turn green and slimy with lots of sneezing.

Ferrum Phos 30c
This is a very useful remedy in the early stages of any inflammation. Taken when allergy symptoms start, it often slows or stops an episode. Symptoms include runny eyes with a burning or gritty feeling, facial flushing, watery nose and short, hard, tickling cough.

Natrum Muriaticum 30c
The most characteristic symptom of Natrum muriaticum is that discharges have the consistency of raw egg white. The catarrh is usually white or clear and watery and can be extremely profuse. There is often repeated violent sneezing – especially in the mornings, a loss of smell or taste, and itching in the nose. The eyes can be watery and the throat can be dry and sore. Rhinitis responding to this remedy can often be accompanied by violent, pulsating headaches made much worse by the heat of the sun, or by increased emotional sensitivity. The patient may prefer to be alone and feel quite touchy or tearful. In some cases cold sores can develop around the nose or lips. Symptoms are worse for heat or for lying down, and can improve for cold bathing, at the seashore, or in the open air.

Nux Vomica 30c
One of the main themes in Nux vomica is ‘irritability’ which can be seen on the physical or emotional level. The person who needs this remedy may be cross or oversensitive, and have acute sensitivity to the slightest odour or particle of pollen. There can be a very stuffed up nose in alternating nostrils, intense itching of the ears, nose and eyes, and the unsatisfied urge to sneeze. The face can be very hot but the whole person is often rather chilly. The throat can feel rough and dry and, if the hay fever continues, the patient can experience queasiness. This is one remedy to think of particularly if there has been a bad reaction to antihistamine drugs that have produced a disordered liver or digestion. Symptoms are worse in the morning, for stimulants such as coffee or alcohol, for strong smells, for becoming angered. There can be improvement from a short sleep, for eating or a warm drink.

Pulsatilla 30c
This remedy is normally more catarrhal with thick green catarrh produced from the eyes and nose. The catarrh can become obstructed and lead to sinusitis, nosebleeds or a loss of smell, although it is often more fluid in the open air. There is a sensation of burning and dryness in the eyes and the lids can become gummed up, with styes forming. Generally the person who will respond to Pulsatilla can be emotionally more sensitive, irritable or tearful, with changing moods. Physical and emotional states can also be very changeable from day to day. Symptoms are normally worse in the evenings, for the sun, and better for cold applications and cool, fresh air.

Sulphur 30c
Like Pulsatilla, this remedy can have a lot of thick, offensive catarrh. There can be a general hot feeling and an aggravation of symptoms from becoming heated. The nose and eyes can become inflamed with heat and burning sensations. There can be oversensitivity to odours or changes in temperature. Classically this type of rhinitis can be accompanied by skin rash or by itching anywhere on the body. The throat can become swollen and the patient can be far more hungry than usual. Symptoms are worse for bathing, in the late morning, and better for motion or fresh air.

Wyethia 30c
Intolerable itching felt on the roof of the mouth and behind the nose, sometimes extending into the throat and ears, strongly suggest the use of this remedy. Everything in the person’s head feels dry and irritated, but the nose may
