Homeopathic desensitisation, also known as Isopathy, is a subtype of Homeopathy which involves taking a homeopathically prepared remedy made from the same substance that you have a reaction to. The remedy helps to rebalance your body so that you don’t continue to produce symptoms when exposed to the offending substance.
I love cats and yet I am allergic to them, so when a dear little black and white cat called Fred (who is actually female) came into our lives, I took a remedy made from her hair to desensitise myself so that she and I can live together happily without me sneezing and wheezing. This may sound a bit far out but it worked for me, it has been effective for many of my clients and there are scientific studies emerging to support this method (references below).
I once prescribed Canine Hair 200c for a lady who was allergic to dogs but really wanted to get a puppy. I advised her that desensitisation isn’t always 100% effective so it would be best to desensitise and then gradually spend time with her chosen puppy before making the commitment to adopt her. However, she decided to take the leap and adopt the puppy as soon as she finished the course of desensitisation. Fortunately the remedy worked and she and the puppy could live together harmoniously.
The efficacy of desensitisation varies from person to person, as other elements are involved including general constitution, diet, medication and stress levels but generally there is at least some improvement and often the difference is life changing.
