• But this year, some might seek alternative treatment for allergies, reported WBAL-TV in Baltimore.
• Dr. Mimi Palenque, a naturopathic doctor at the Medispa at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, said homeopathy can help.
• "Homeopathy is all about allergies and allergens, but we view the body very, very differently than a medical practitioner would," Palenque said.
• Two new studies reviewed the herbal supplement Butterbur.
• SURVEY Have you ever tried to treat seasonal allergies with herbal supplements?
• It's used for sinuses, hay fever, migraines," Palenque said.
• One study found Butterbur superior to a placebo.
• A second study found Butterbur extract had similar effects to the prescription drug Zyrtec for relieving allergy symptoms.
• "Symptoms like sneezing and nasal congestion, in both groups of patients, had similar resolution," said Dr. Ileana Enamorado, also of Mercy Medical Center.
• There are other alternative remedies for allergy symptoms that Palenque said are safer than an herbal supplement like Butterbur.
• "I don't call them medicines; I call them remedies, because that's what they are," she said.
• "They're very, very safe because of the dilution process.
• When you have a supplement, they're not diluted.
• They are cold pressed, and you're getting it full strength; that's very powerful."
• Naturopathic doctors say homeopathic remedies are safe enough to use with children.
