The presentation of allergic rhinitis with nasal congestion points toward a classic Vata-Kapha imbalance disrupting the Pranavaha Srotas (respiratory channels). However, your severe dry skin is a crucial clinical clue—it indicates that Vata Dosha and Rookshata (dryness) have become systemic and highly aggravated, likely worsened by the chronic nature of the condition or the long-term use of drying antihistamines or steroid nasal sprays. 1. Primary Internal Formulations (Abhyantara Chikitsa) Because this is a 10-year-old chronic condition (Jeerna Roga), simple single herbs won’t be enough. We need herbo-mineral and deep-acting formulations to modulate immunity and clear the channels (Sroto-shodhana). For the Respiratory System (Rhinitis & Congestion): ••Laxmivilas Ras (Nardiya): 1 tablet (125 mg) twice a day after meals. It is an excellent Rasayana (rejuvenator) specifically for the upper respiratory tract, helping to liquefy thick Kapha and clear nasal blocks. ••Chitrak Haritaki Lehyam: 1 teaspoon twice a day with warm milk or warm water. This classical formulation is highly effective for chronic sinusitis and rhinitis, preventing recurrent allergies. ••Haridra Khanda: 1 teaspoon twice a day with lukewarm milk. Turmeric processed with ghee and spices acts as a potent natural anti-allergic and immune modulator. 2.For the Systemic Dryness (Vata Pacification & Skin Care): ••Gandhak Rasayan: 1 tablet (250 mg) twice a day after meals. It purifies the blood (Rakta Shodhana), improves skin hydration, and addresses the underlying allergic diathesis. ••Pratimarsha Nasya (Nasal Drops): Use Anu Taila or Shadbindu Taila. Warm the oil slightly and instill 2 to 4 drops into each nostril every morning on an empty stomach. ••In Vata-Kapha disorders, the diet must be warm, unctuous (slightly oily), and easy to digest. •What to Favor: •Warm soups flavored with ginger, black pepper, and garlic (excellent for clearing nasal congestion). •Staples cooked with a small amount of cow’s ghee to combat internal dryness. Warm water throughout the day (Ushnodaka) to flush out Ama (toxins). ••What to Strictly Avoid: •Viruddha Ahara (incompatible food combinations like milk with fish or sour fruits). •Refrigerated, cold, or frozen foods and drinks (these instantly provoke Kapha and freeze the sinuses). •Heavy, damp-forming foods like curd (especially at night), banana, and refined flour (Maida). •Kapalbhati & Bhastrika Pranayama: Practice these for 5-10 minutes daily in a clean environment. They generate internal heat (Agni), clear the respiratory tract, and dispel stagnant Kapha. ••Anulom Vilom (Alternate Nostril Breathing): Helps balance Vata and restores normal airflow through the nasal passages. ••Protect the Senses: Avoid direct exposure to cold winds, air conditioners blowing directly on your face, and heavy dust.
Your symptoms (allergic rhinitis + dry skin + constipation + dandruff) suggest a Vata–Kapha imbalance with sensitivity in the respiratory and digestive system. Morning worsening usually indicates Kapha accumulation overnight. Simple routine changes: Avoid cold foods, curd at night, and chilled drinks Drink warm water through the day Steam inhalation daily in morning Keep head and chest warm, especially in early morning Supportive Ayurvedic care: Sitopaladi churna – 1 tsp with honey twice daily Haridra khand – 1 tsp twice daily after food Triphala churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water Anu taila – 2 drops in each nostril in morning (nasal support) For dryness: Sesame oil gentle body massage 2–3 times/week This helps reduce congestion, improve bowel movement, and balance dryness gradually.

Your symptoms suggest a long-standing allergic tendency of both the respiratory tract and skin–gut axis. In Ayurveda, this pattern is commonly seen with a combination of Vata + Kapha imbalance, often with weak digestion (Agni) and accumulation of Ama (metabolic toxins). Gut issues leads to most of the skin and allergic condition. Your symptoms also suggestive of this . Rhinits occurs to improper movement of prana and udana vata so to settle them and get them to their proper work anulomana should be done in your case which will help to relieve constipation and reduces rhinits symptoms. Medications you can take - 1) Avipattikar churna 50gm + haridra khand 50gm + yashtimadhu churna 30gm = 1tsp tid for first 5 days then 1 tsp bd afterwards 2) tab histatin 1tid 3) abhyarishta 3tsp tid with equal amt warm water 4) gandhak rasayana 1tid before food All these medicines will help to relieve allergic rhinitis , constipation, skin and dandruff issues But for complete cure you need to take treatment for a longer period and change medicines as per symptoms and relief. It is completely treatable , you should be willing to be cured .
