Understanding Mechanisms of Homoeopathy in Food Allergic Reactions: A Theoretical Approach

Abstract

Food allergies represent a significant health challenge, affecting millions and often resulting in complex, multisystem symptoms. While conventional treatments emphasize allergen avoidance and symptomatic relief, homoeopathy offers an individualized approach, aiming to modulate immune responses and address the underlying hypersensitivity. This article explores theoretical mechanisms by which homoeopathic remedies might alleviate food allergies, focusing on immune modulation, low-dose hormetic effects, epigenetic regulation, and neuroimmune interactions. Although clinical research remains limited, emerging hypotheses suggest that homoeopathy may support immune tolerance and symptom relief by leveraging individualized treatments that consider physical, emotional, and psychological dimensions. As scientific advancements in immunology and nanotechnology continue, these mechanisms may provide a basis for integrating homoeopathy as a complementary approach in holistic allergy management.
