Introduction of allergic diseases Epidemiological studies indicate a world-wide and
significant rise in atopic diseases over the past 10 years,
It has adopted alarming magnitude within the industrialized world.
allergic asthma and pollinosis, in particular, are on the rise in Third world countries, in parallel to the industrialization and westernization of their life-style.
Since both antigen exposure and the presence of additional realization factors are required for the manifestation of atopic diseases, this increase in prevalence is not surprising.
Intro.. In addition to increased indoor and outdoor pollution,
changes in the lifestyle--causing increased allergen exposure--certainly play an important role as cofactor in the rising incidence of allergies
Precise diagnostic procedures permit a better perceptive of the realization factors for allergic diseases in epidemiological studies and identification of the causative agent in the individual so that effective therapeutic and prophylactic steps can be taken
Common Allergic Disorders in Children Upper and lower respiratory allergies

Asthma

Need to make awareness about safety ,efficacy, and availability of
Homeopathy on various children diseases
