Cat allergies can be a real challenge for people who love their kitties. The sneezing, itching, and discomfort caused by cat allergens can make it difficult to enjoy time with your cat. Fortunately, there are natural and homeopathic treatments for cat allergies that can help you co-exist more comfortably with your kitty.

We’ll focus on what is homeopathy and what supplements can help reduce your allergic reactions. We’ll also highlight the use of products like Allergen Spray to help create a more allergy-friendly home, so you'll be more comfortable in it. 

Understanding Cat Allergies 

Cat allergies are typically triggered by proteins found in a cat's skin cells, saliva, and urine. When these proteins become airborne, they can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. 

Common symptoms of cat allergies in people include:

• Sneezing
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Itchy, watery eyes
• Coughing or wheezing
• Skin rashes or hives

These symptoms can range from mild to severe, depending on your sensitivity and the level of exposure to cat allergens.

Should You Consider Homeopathy?

Homeopathy offers a natural approach to managing these symptoms by aiming to strengthen the body’s response to allergens. It starts with the premise that your body is designed to heal itself. Sometimes your body needs a little help and that's where homeopathy comes in. Say you have a cough, you're itchng, your nose is running  and your right toe is swollen. All, yes, all these symptoms are considered with homeopathy.

The father of Homeopathy was Samuel Hahnemann. He was a physician who became disillusioned with the medical field (i.e. blood letting). He started testing remedies on himself for decades and developed what he termed "like cures like". His first paper was published in 1796. 

Homeopathy is used all over the world by millions of people. In the USA, not so much. And that's a shame because some of the healing people have been blessed with is nothing sort of amazing! And did I mention homeopathy can even be used on animals to help what ails them? 

Unlike allopathic medicine, homepathy is holistic meaning it cares for the whole body, spirit and mind. 

How is homeopathy administered? For the most part in tablet form. They are little pearls that quickly dissolve under your tongue. Pleasant to take even for little children.

If you'd like to know more about homeopathy there are several movies you can watch:  JustOneDrop.com and Magicpillsmovie.com. If you prefer to read, a basic one to find out if homeopathy is for you is Homeopathy Basics by Priscilla Medders. There are kits you can buy, homeopaths to counsel with, podcasts to listen to and pharmacies to buy remedies from. 

What About Natural Supplements?

Natural supplements can help reduce the severity of allergic reactions by supporting your immune system. These treatments are derived from plants, minerals, and other natural sources, ensuring they are safe for regular use.

Some popular natural remedies for managing cat allergies include:

• Quercetin: A natural plant flavonoid with anti-inflammatory and antihistamine properties.
• Bromelain: An enzyme found in pineapples that can reduce nasal swelling and improve breathing.
• Butterbur: An herb that may help reduce the frequency and severity of allergy symptoms.

Creating an Allergen-Reduced Environment

Managing cat allergies effectively goes beyond using natural treatments—it requires creating a clean and allergen-reduced living space. Since allergens like pet dander, saliva, and fur can settle on furniture, carpets, and clothing, an eager approach to reducing exposure is essential. Here’s how you can transform your home into a more allergy-friendly environment:

1. Regular Cleaning: Frequent cleaning, including wiping surfaces and dusting, help eliminate allergens that settle on household items. Use a damp cloth to trap dust rather than dispersing it into the air.

2. Vacuuming: Invest in a vacuum cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter. These filters are highly effective at trapping pet dander and other fine particles that traditional vacuums might recirculate into the air.

3. Air Purifiers: Using high-quality air purifiers can significantly reduce airborne allergens. Opt for models with HEPA filters to target dander effectively.

4. Wash Fabrics Frequently: Clean pet bedding, curtains, and upholstery regularly to remove allergens. Washing clothes and linens in hot water is also beneficial in reducing allergen levels.

5. Allergen-Control Products: Products like the Allergen Spray by Allergy Defender are an excellent addition to your cleaning routine. This lab-verified, mineral-based spray dries up allergens, reducing their impact on your immune system and creating a more comfortable home.

6. Designate Pet-Free Zones: Restrict your cat’s access to certain areas, such as your bedroom, to create a safe haven where allergens are kept to a minimum.

7. Grooming Your Pet: Regular grooming and bathing  of your cat (when appropriate) can reduce the amount of dander they shed. Use pet-safe shampoos designed for sensitive skin.
