Living in a city can make allergies, asthma, and environmental sensitivities worse. Many people look for natural ways to feel better. Homeopathy for allergies, asthma, and environmental sensitivities in urban areas is becoming more popular. This blog explains how homeopathy works and how it may help people living in cities.
Understanding Allergies, Asthma, and Environmental Sensitivities in Cities

How Homeopathy Works: Principles and Approach
Homeopathy is a natural system of medicine. It uses very small amounts of substances to help the body heal itself.

Homeopaths choose remedies based on each person’s unique symptoms. Because of this, treatment is often personalized.
