Grab your Best Fit Call with me now so that you can get Individualized care tailored to your specific allergic responses and strengthen your constitution overall. (because these few remedies aren't guaranteed to fit your chronic pattern and needs!)
Let's jump into a few solutions to have on hand during the sneezes and sniffles!
- Nasal discharge that is acrid and makes the nares/upper lip feel raw. Nose is 'dripping like a faucet'. The eye tearing up is bland. ++Sneezing. Swelling/stuffy nasal mucosa. Worse afternoons/evenings, Left side and better for open or cold air. Headache made better with flowing nasal discharges. Sharp larynx pains worse for coughing.
- Acrid watery nasal discharge, the nose is stuffy and runny simultaneously, more Right sided runny nose! Keynote with Arsenicum is *burning pains made better by hot applications or hot drinks, which is odd. Anytime something seems odd in Homeopathy, it is more unique and important to remember. There's a lot of sneezing in Ars especially in the morning. Ars overall is worse for cold drinks, inspiring cold air and better with warmth. There can also be some sores in the nostrils as it's a very corrosive remedy.
- Inflamed eyes, extreme irritation with burning and itching. Constant blinking. Sensitivity to light. Watery eyes causes raw feeling while runny nose is bland. +Sneezing, watery runny nose. Tickling cough. Worse during the day, better lying down at night. Post nasal drop builds at night causing +coughing in the morning. *This remedy is ALL about the EYES, watery and irritated nature.
- Nux has terrible sneezing and runny nose especially in the morning on rising from bed. Dry, raw stuffiness of the nose at night in bed. The stuffed nose runs when in a warm room which relieves. So- worse am's, open air and after eating but better with warmth- warm room/drinks!
- Bland watery discharge from the nose or eyes... itching and watering of the eyes, relief with a cold application and worse from overheating in the sun. Typically Pulsatilla needs fresh open air, but during the pollen they want AC in a 'filtered' environment vs the fresh air full of allergens. There can be slight wheezing/coughing that is worse lying down. The discharge can also shift to thick yellow which is also a great indication for Pulsatilla's development.
*DOSING TIPS: Boiron or Ollois 12 or 30c, 2-3 tabs in 1c water - I shake before each dose and have a small sip/1tsp held under the tongue a few seconds. For the acute scenarios, I dose every 20-30 min and stop after the 3rd dose. Wait and see how that shifted symptoms... if the symptom picture seems different and fitting another remedy better then stop this remedy and move to a better fitting remedy. But if it's offered a good bit of relief, I stretch out doses to a more as needed basis. Remembering that if it continues beyond a few days you need more specialized assistance and this is where hiring a homeopath comes in!
