Gabrielle Townsend provides Homeopathic treatment at Paul Adkins’ Mitchell Hill Clinic in Truro and this month she provides you with her recommended remedies for hay fever.
“While most of us are looking forward to the warmer weather and the chance to be outside in the fresh air, a large percentage of us will be dreading it…for hay fever sufferers and those with allergic rhinitis the months from March to September can become a nightmare.
Homeopathy can be hugely successful in treating the symptoms that can cause such misery and, if used at the start of the season, have been known to alleviate symptoms completely in some cases.
Below are a list of the top remedies that are used by most Homeopaths, but please do seek advice from your Homeopath regarding dosage and potency.”
