Allergic Rhinitis

Allergic Rhinitis - CHHC

Allergic rhinitis is an allergic condition in which the body’s immune system overreacts to harmless airborne substances like dust, pollen, or pet dander. This reaction causes inflammation of the nasal lining, leading to sneezing, runny nose, and itching. It is commonly known as hay fever or nasal allergy

  • An experienced Homeopath thoroughly evaluates your Past History, Medical History, Family History, Constitutional Assessment (Physical constitution, temperament, and individual characteristics), Lifestyle Factors and Mental & Emotional Status on basis of which the most suitable remedy is prescribed.
