Normally, our immune system helps protect us. It does this by sending in special cells, that attack whenever viruses, bacteria, or other harmful substances invade our body. This response helps neutralize the foreign invaders. But many things enter our body that the immune system usually views as harmless. This can include things like pet hair; dust mites; and tree, weed, or grass pollen. In a person with allergies, the immune system mistakes these harmless substances, known as allergens, for a potential threat and starts to react it in an altered way and as result different allergic symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, asthmatic symptoms, skin rashes develops. Allergies can strike anyone, regardless of age, gender, ethnic background, or social or economic status. One of the most common forms of allergies is an allergic reaction to something in the air. These tiny particles floating in the air are so small that they cannot even be seen. But, when breathed into the nose or lungs, or when they come in contact with the eyes, they can cause an allergic reaction. These particles are called allergens, a name given to substances that cause an allergic reaction. HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT OF ALLERGY There are many things enter our body that our immune system usually views as harmless. But in a person with allergies, the immune system by mistakes looks these harmless substances known as allergens as a potential threat and starts reacting. So how we can define those allergic persons whose body immune power reacts vigorously to the harmless substances whereas the same immune power in another non allergic person does not react. How we can differentiate an allergic person from a non allergic person. What are the things present in an allergic person that differentiate him from a non allergic person. The answer is the HYPERSENSITIVITY. One allergic person is more hypersensitive towards certain allergens while the healthy person is not. One allergic person has the excessive susceptibility to wards some particular allergens which are harmful for that person whereas harmless to the healthy one. A proper homeopathy treatment helps to change that hypersensitivity of the person. It helps to modify the hyper susceptibilities of the person. When the hypersensitivity or the hyper susceptibilities of the person is modified he will not then react adversely to the harmless allergens which he was reacting earlier. This can only be possible by a proper constitutional homeopathy treatment by taking the totality of symptoms. Homeopathy treatment acts at the body’s deep seated energetic level. It is because the hypersensitivity of the person makes his immune cells to react adversely to the normal substances. That tendency of hypersensitiveness of the person cannot be defined at physical level. It can only be define at nature or character or an energy level. A proper homeopathy treatment fixes that problem at the root level and makes that person health as a whole.

2. WHAT IS ALLERGY?
Normally, our immune system helps protect us. It does this by sending in
special cells, that attack whenever viruses, bacteria, or other harmful
substances invade our body. This response helps neutralize the foreign
invaders. But many things enter our body that the immune system usually
views as harmless. This can include things like pet hair; dust mites; and
tree, weed, or grass pollen. In a person with allergies, the immune system
mistakes these harmless substances, known as allergens, for a potential threat
and starts to react it in an altered way and as result different allergic symptoms
like sneezing, runny nose, asthmatic symptoms, skin rashes develops. Allergies
can strike anyone, regardless of age, gender, ethnic background, or social or
economic status. One of the most common forms of allergies is an allergic
reaction to something in the air. These tiny particles floating in the air are so
small that they cannot even be seen. But, when breathed into the nose or
lungs, or when they come in contact with the eyes, they can cause an allergic
reaction. These particles are called allergens, a name given to substances that
cause an allergic reaction.

3. TYPES OF ALLERGY:
Many health disorders are caused by an allergic reaction. The
most commons are given below
Allergic bronchial asthma
Allergic Rhinitis
Urticaria or hives
Atopic dermatitis

4. PATHOGENESIS OF ALLERGY
Our body's immune system is designed to recognize and to attack of
any foreign particle or protein that enter inside our body. It has the
remarkable ability to distinguish between "self" and "non-self" cells.
There are many things enter our body that our immune system
usually views as harmless. But in a person with allergies, the immune
system by mistakes looks these harmless substances known as
allergens as a potential threat and starts reacting. This is where the
allergic reaction starts. The cascade of allergic reaction is like this Lymphocytes are white blood cells that play a key role in both
immunity and allergy. They are divided into two types, the T and B
lymphocytes. The T lymphocytes can be classified into killer T cells
and helper T cells (TH). The helper T cells (TH) is divided into two
types - TH1 (infection fighters) and TH2 (allergy promoters). The Blymphocytes produces antibodies to help destroy foreign substances
when stimulated to do so by the TH2 cells. When the T cells come
into contact with any allergen the"helper" T cells (TH2) are
activated, thus releasing chemicals (cytokines) that stimulate B
lymphocytes. B lymphocytes produce IgE antibodies that bind to the
allergens.

5. Cytokines are small proteins that can either step-up or step-down the
immune response. One of the cytokines, interleukin 4 (IL4), is essential for
the production of IgE. Interleukin 5 (IL5) and others are important in
attracting other cells, particularly eosinophils, to promote inflammation.
These spectrums of cytokines are released by the TH2 lymphocytes.
Once the IgE is produced, it specifically recognizes its allergen and will
recognize it on future exposure. Mast cells and basophils are the next key
players in the allergic cascade. They are volatile cells with potentially
explosive behavior. Mast cells reside in tissues while basophils are found in
the blood. Each of these cells has over 100,000 receptor sites for
IgE, which binds on their surfaces. The binding of IgE to these cells acts like
the fuse on a bomb. Each mast cell and basophil may contain over 1000
tiny packets (granules). Each of these granules holds more than 30 allergy
chemicals, called chemical mediators. When a sensitized individual is
exposed to the specific allergen again, the IgE is ready to bind to this
allergen. When this occurs, the mast cells and basophils are activated and
explosively release the number of chemicals from their granules that
ultimately produce the allergic reaction that we can see and feel.

7. HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT OF ALLERGY
There are many things enter our body that our immune
system usually views as harmless. But in a person with
allergies, the immune system by mistakes looks these
harmless substances known as allergens as a potential threat
and starts reacting. So how we can define those allergic
persons whose body immune power reacts vigorously to the
harmless substances whereas the same immune power in
another non allergic person does not react. How we can
differentiate an allergic person from a non allergic person.
What are the things present in an allergic person that
differentiate him from a non allergic person. The answer is
the HYPERSENSITIVITY. One allergic person is more
hypersensitive towards certain allergens while the healthy
person is not. One allergic person has the excessive
susceptibility to wards some particular allergens which are
harmful for that person whereas harmless to the healthy
one.

8. A proper homeopathy treatment helps to change that
hypersensitivity of the person. It helps to modify the
hyper susceptibilities of the person. When the
hypersensitivity or the hyper susceptibilities of the
person is modified he will not then react adversely to the
harmless allergens which he was reacting earlier. This
can only be possible by a proper constitutional
homeopathy treatment by taking the totality of
symptoms. Homeopathy treatment acts at the body’s
deep seated energetic level. It is because the
hypersensitivity of the person makes his immune cells to
react adversely to the normal substances. That tendency
of hypersensitiveness of the person cannot be defined at
physical level. It can only be define at nature or character
or an energy level. A proper homeopathy treatment fixes
that problem at the root level and makes that person
health as a whole.
