Homeopathy Treatment For Allergic Rhinitis Nasal allergy, also called allergic rhinitis or hay fever, is an allergic reaction of the body (mainly the upper respiratory tract and eyes) to certain substances – allergens – that we breathe in. The main allergens are pollens, molds, animal dander and dust. Allergy is nothing but an over-sensitivity of our defense system. This means that our immune system (defense system) starts reacting to a substance which is otherwise harmless to our body. In other words, it is a misdirected immune attack. Pollens are usually the main culprits. Even though these allergens are not dangerous, our immune system overreacts and releases histamine. This histamine is a chemical which is meant to defend these allergens.
