Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis or Hay Fever: Homeopathy, What Works

• A series of studies by Dr. M. Weisenauer investigated a single remedy, Galphimia glauca, for seasonal allergic rhinitis, or hay fever. A total of nearly six hundred people were involved in the trials, which showed a statistically significant improvement in symptoms among people using homeopathy.

• Two other studies of nasal allergies were conducted by noted clinician Dr. David Reilly and associates of Scotland in 1985. Their pilot study, involving thirty-nine patients, found statistically significant results in favor of the homeopathic remedy. In a similar, larger study by Reilly in 1996, patients using homeopathy showed a statistically significant decrease in symptoms.

• From the Harvard Medical School, a 1995 study by Dr. Mark Abelson indicated that Similisan produced a statistically significant reduction in redness and itching among allergy patients.
