6 best homeopathic medicines for
allergic cough treatment
Allergic problems, bronchial asthma, and
chronic bronchitis are now the commonly
occurring health problem in every part of
the world. Those have multi etiological factors
like exposure to dust, pollen, secondhand smoke,
faulty diet habits, food allergens, chemical
irritants (pesticides), temperature intolerance
include cold air, emotional factors like extreme
emotional arousal such as anger or fear, extreme
stress level, etc. Even certain medications can
trigger chronic bronchitis and asthma.
Besides the external stimulatory factors, the
immune system also plays an important role in
manifesting the symptoms of allergy and asthma.
There are many things that enter our body that
our immune system usually views as harmless.
But in a person with allergies, the immune system
by mistake looks at 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 nonallergic 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 nonallergic person? The
answer is hypersensitivity. One allergic person is
more hypersensitive towards certain allergens
while a healthy person is not. One allergic
person has excessive susceptibility towards
some particular allergens which are harmful to
that person whereas harmless to the healthy one.
types of allergy

allergic bronchial asthma
It is the common chronic inflammatory disease
of the airways characterized by variable
and recurring symptoms, reversible airflow
obstruction, and bronchospasm. Symptoms
include wheezing, coughing, chest tightness,
and shortness of breath. It is triggered by various
allergens or irritants. In allergic asthma, when
the airways come in contact with an allergen, the
immune system reacts and releases chemicals.
These chemicals cause the muscles around the
airways to tighten. Inflammation, swelling, and
a buildup of mucus in the airways cause further
narrowing.
allergic rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis is an allergic inflammation of
the nasal airways. It occurs when an allergen,
such as pollen, dust, or animal dander (particles
of shed skin and hair) is inhaled by an individual
