TOP 7 ALLERGY/HAY FEVER REMEDIES

Are you plagued with seasonal allergies? Have you tried over-the-counter medicines only to have symptoms return again and again? Time to try Homeopathy. Homeopathic remedies are FDA approved, inexpensive and easy to dispense to those of all ages…from infants to the elderly. (even animals)

I recently received a call about an 11-year-old who was affected by seasonal allergies for the first time. After hearing his complaints I knew he was exhibiting the symptoms of the remedy Allium cepa. After one dose he couldn’t believe how quickly his symptoms improved. After the second dose the discomfort was gone.

Give it a try, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

No need to exhibit ALL the symptoms, look for the one that is most irritating.
