13 Effective Homeopathic Remedies for Mold Allergy

Mold is a type of fungus that resides in damp environments and can be found both outdoors (like on leaves, grass, rotting wood) and indoors (like in dark, damp basements, bathroom tiles, or around windows). Mold allergy refers to an allergic reaction in some people (who are over-sensitive to these allergens) from inhaling its spores. It results in symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, stuffy nose, and itchy, watery eyes. Homeopathic remedies for mold allergy work by moderating the overactive immune system that causes a hyperactive response towards allergen mold.

From a wide variety of molds, only a few tend to cause allergic reactions. The most common molds that can cause allergies include Alternaria, Cladosporium, aspergillus, penicillium, helminthosporium, epicoccum, fusarium, smuts.

The immune system of the sufferer overreacts on breathing mold spores. Just like any other nasal allergy, mold allergy occurs from an overactive immune response to inhaled airborne allergen (in this case mold spores are the allergens). When these spores enter the body of the sufferer then his / her body recognizes them as something foreign and harmful so produces an overreaction to get rid of them. The body releases chemicals like histamine in response to inhaled mold spores that lead to symptoms of mold allergy symptoms.

There are some people who are at high risk of mold allergy. Firstly, persons having a family history of allergies are at risk. Secondly, residing in a house that has high humidity levels or working in some occupations ( like dairy work, farming, carpentry) puts a person at risk of it. Lastly, people who live in poorly ventilated houses are also prone to develop mold allergies.
