The Allergy Season is just under way in Austin, Texas. Typically, the season here is from the beginning of March until mid-May. This year, due to long droughts of previous years, heavy rains this year, and with gusty dry winds in between have led to heavy oak pollen accumulation into the air and the surrounding vegetation. And just to give you a heads up, this season is expected to roll into June!
What can you do about it? One option is to visit an allergy and asthma doctor and receive testing and medication that will act to suppress your symptoms. Yet, your symptoms are your bodies signal that something is wrong. They are meant to be worked with, not worked against. That's where homeopathy comes in to play. Homeopathic remedies aim to strengthen your bodies inherent and natural ability to heal itself. The important factors during a homeopathic consultation is the detail in which you express your symptoms. You will not get one homeopathic remedy for allergies. Homeopathic treatment is individualized to your specific concerns and takes into consideration the sublte nuances of your symptoms and how you manage them emotionally ad mentally. In this way, it is natural and holistic. Common homeopathic remedies that help people experiencing allergy symptoms include the following: Allium Cepa: Acrid (burning, caustic) nasal discharge, which may even burn the nose or upper lip. Profuse watery discharge from the nose, like a "dripping faucet." Usually effects the left nostril more. You feel better in the open air, rather than indoors. Euphrasia: Eyes feel inflamed, extremely irritated, with burning and itching. Bland nasal discharge, but with profuse acrid lacrimation (secretion of tears from eyes). Greatly indicated for Hay Asthma. Nux Vomica: Terrible sneezing, especially in the morning on rising from bed. Stuffed, irritated nose that becomes fluent in a warm room - this generally relieves the stuffed nose. Nasal discharge may be very fluent in the morning and daytime, but horribly dry with raw obstruction at night and in bed. Pulsatilla: Awful itching and lacrimation of eyes which feels better from a cold application. Hay fever especially in the spring or in the heat of the summer and autumn. Everything is worse by being over-heated by the sun, hot foods, heat of the bed, etc. Much worse in the open air. Much better in air conditioning (no exposure to pollens). Sabadilla: Tremendous paroxysms (spasmodic) of sneezing; debilitating sneezing. This list is not comprehensive and it's best to contact me for further questions and to find out where you can locate these homeopathic remedies. Many thanks for reading and I hope you feel better soon! Noel

There are few things worse than not being able to catch your breath. Even worse is the fear that accompanies an asthma attack. Will you be able to breath again?! It's a scary event! For those who suffer from these scary situations, immediate relief is sought.
The New England Journal of Medicine reported in June of 2009 that there are 300 million people worldwide who suffer from asthma. What if you knew there were treatments available without the side effects from medicine, and that with treatment over-time, you would be less and less susceptible to suffering this condition? Homeopathic treatment can offer such relief! There is not one homeopathic remedy to take for asthma. Rather, there are homeopathic remedies that treat YOU. Homeopathic treatment will not suppress symptoms, but rather is aimed at strengthening your system and rendering you less and less dependent on medications and less and less susceptible to ever having symptoms related to asthma. It's true healing! For research studies on this topic, please click here. To get started now on your healing journey, please contact me. Thanks for reading and be well, Noel Tis' the season! No, not that season. I'm refering to allergy season.
It can be a tough go for people who suffer from this condition. Relegated to moments and/or continuous weeks of feeling miserable, we seek solutions. Homeopathy might just be the one! Homeopathy is aimed at treating people, not their illnesses. However, what homeopathic treatment can do is offer relief from your ailments and will not foster any dependence on medications, nor offer any side effects, along the way. Your journey to better health and relief from your sufferings of this season is paved through homeopathic treatment. That said, it's important to understand the specifics of your symptoms. Whether it be itchy eyes, sneezing, itchy throat, lethargy, or some variation of one or many of these symptoms, a homeopathic remedy will seek to address all the symptoms and initiate your inherent healing response. Over time, through constitutional homeopathic care, you will become less and less susceptible to suffering during the allergy season. A few homeopathic remedies that typically help include the following with brief indications: Allium Cepa: profuse, burning nasal discharge, usually from the left side. Better from open air. Arsenicum Album: acrid, watery coryza; dripping from the nose which is totally obstructed; generally right-sided. Euphrasia: Eyes inflamed; extremely irritated, burning, and itching. Bland nasal discharge, but profuse. Watery eyes burn. Nux-Vomica: Terrible sneezing in the morning upon rising. Stuffed, irritated nose becomes fluent when in warm rooms. Sabadilla: Tremendous sneezing fits. Worse in the open air. Better from warm rooms and/or warm drinks. These are just a few of my favorite homeopathic remedies that may help you feel better during this time. Please contact me for any further information. Be well, Noel "No pain, no gain!"
Is that really true? Does progess and growth really have to hurt? In my prior career experience as a personal fitness trainer and health coach, I frequently found that to be the case. Unless we struggled with dragging ourselves to the gym, or restricted our diet in some way, we thought we weren't doing something good for us. In homeopathy, though, I find the gentle and rapid healing that occurs is just that - gentle and rapid. Pain and struggle don't have to be a part of the equation. Additionally, it may be surprising to know that homeopathy can help with weight management! No, it won't give you muscles like the magazine cover models (who are also airbrushed tremendously), nor does it involve a diet plan. Homeopathy is aimed at treating people. If you desire managing your weight more effectively, a homeopathic remedy will aid you in opening up channels previously unknown and uncover the path to eating well, exercising frequently, and managing stress more effectively. Despite that, there is no healing for those who continue participating in unhealthy lifestyle habits. If one continues to eat fast food everyday, no homeopathic remedy will make a difference. If one does no form of simple movement or exercises, no homeopathic remedy will increase the strength of your muscles. You still have to be a part of the equation. There is no substitute for your own free will to decide. There are several homeopathic remedies aimed at strengthening the body to heal itself in the direction of alleviating obesity. A few of them include: Antimonium Crudum, Calcarea-Carbonica, Capsicum, Graphites, Lycopodium, and Staphysagria. There are many, many more but a simple list is offered here. Please contact me for further information about them. Homeopathic remedies are safe and gentle, and offer no side effects or dangerous dependencies. They don't counteract any other medicine you may be on, but work with you and will eventually help relieve any dependencies you may have upon medicines used for weight management. In my practice, with homeopathic treatment, I also apply my skills in personal fitness training and health coaching to help you with your weight management goals. Please contact me for further information! I look forward to working with you soon. Be well, Noel |
