Itching eyes, running nose... Ladies and Gentlemen The days are growing longer, and with it, plants are blooming in each and every corner. Some of us enjoy this, and for others, however, this marks the beginning of hard times: it's hay fever season. The eyes sting, itch and water, the nose is running, we suffer from sneezing fits, some patients even experience respiratory problems. What a pity it is that allergy sufferers cannot fully enjoy nature's joyful revitalization. The treatment of acute hay fever mainly focuses on alleviating the symptoms. Biological medicine offers a number of supporting, soothing remedies e.g. from the sectors of homeopathy, spagyrics, anthroposophical medicine, and phytotherapy. The appropriate preparation is individually defined and prescribed. The pharmacy staff is readily available to advise you personally. As usual, this approach is also broad in its application, that is, it helps the body regain its balance in order to alleviate acute symptoms. Consequentially, the adverse side effects typical for conventional allergy treatments – such as fatigue and/or lethargy – don't occur. Therefore, the patients can still enjoy springtime's jauntiness. All those who are already concerned about next springtime may use autumn to inform themselves on the preventive measures applied in winter. I wish all of you a splendid and joyful springtime.
