HELLO SRIVIDHYA DUDE,

Allergic rhinitis is a chronic hypersensitivity condition that requires a long term , multi pronged approach- especially when it has suffering twice in a week, runny nose, sneezing and watery eyes

Allergic rhinitis in Ayurveda is commonly correlated with - vata kapha disorder, primarily involving pratisyaya(rhinitis) -ama(toxins) accumulation - rasa dhatu dushti(derangement in bodily fluids) - agni mandya- low digestive fire

GOAL OF TREATMENT -reduced hypersensitivity to allergens - remove accumulated Ama(toxins) - balance kapha and vata -treat runny nose, sneezing and watery eyes - boost respiratory immunity.

INTERNALLY START WITH

1) HARIDRA KHANDA= 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily In morning and night for 3-6 months = anti-allergic, reduces kapha, improves immunity.

2) SHITOPALADI CHURNA + YASTIMADHU + HONEY= 1 tsp + 1/2 tsp + 1 tsp honey, mix and take after meals twice daily for 3 months =stops sneezing, liquifies phlegm, soothes throat

3) TALISADI CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with honey after meals for 2 months =bronchodilator reduces congestion , PND

4) TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water before meals for 8 weeks =improves digestive fire, burns toxins and enhances metabolism

5) CHYAWANPRASH= 1 tsp I’m morning with warm milk for long term = rejuvinator for respiratory system and immunity booster

6) PATHYADI KADHA= 20 ml with warm water after meals for 6 weeks = clears sinuses, headache relief, balance all three doshas

NASYA THERAPY -SHAD BINDU TAILA= 4 drops in each nostril daily morning after bath for 30-45 days =lubricates nasal passages, open sinuses, detoxifieskapha from head

IF FEASIBLE CAN GO FOR PANCHAKARMA FOR INSTANT RELIEF -VAMANA -BASTI

DIET TO BE FOLLOWED -warm, cooked food= moong dal, rice, cooked veggies - turmeric, ginger, black pepper - herbal teas- tulsi, licorice, cinnamon - cow ghee - lukewarm water throughout the day.

AVOID -cold raw food -ice creams, cold drinks, curd(esp at night) - bananas, oranges, guava -fried, oily, or stale food - milk + salt combination

PRANAYAM AND YOGA -anulom vilom= 10 min daily, balances prana, clears nasal blockages - bhramari= 5 min, soothes sinuses and nerves - jal neti= 2-3 timmes/week, physically cleans nasal passages -suryanamskar =5 rounds, boosts immunity , circulation

HOME REMEDIES -turmeric+ honey paste(1:1)= 1/2 tsp twice a day - tulsi-ginger decocotion= 1 cup daily -steam inhalation with ajwain twice daily - ghee drop in nostrils at night for dryness

EXPECTED TIMELINE

DURATION 2-4 WEEK= reduced sneezing, PND 2-3 month= less recurrence 4-6 months= long term control, tissue healing

DURING SEASONAL PREVENTION - repeat nasya, rasayana pre-winter and spring= prevent relapse

If Constipation or digestion is impaired, begin with TRIPHALA CHURNA- 1 tsp at night -for post nasal drip+ sinus pressure= mix of trikatu churna+ honey -avoid suppressing natural urges(like sneezing, yawing, burping)- worsen vata kapha disorders

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

It seems like yur experiencing symtoms of allergic rhinitis, often worsened by abrupt temperature changes or specific environments like a kitchen or air-conditioned rooms. Ayurveda offers some holistic approaches to manage this.

First, consider nasya therapy, which involves gently applying medicated oil into the nostrils. Anu Taila is commonly used in Ayurveda for this purpose. Every morning, lay down comfortably and put 2-3 drops of Anu Taila into each nostril, and inhale deeply. It can support clearing nasal passages, reduce sensitivity to allergens.

Another approach involves dietary adjustments. Avoid cold, heavy, and congesting foods such as dairy, refined sugars or very spicy dishes that might aggravate the Kapha dosha. Instead, favor warm, easy-to-digest meals, seasoned with spices like ginger and black pepper, which can aid in boosting your digestive fire or Agni. This might help in reducing mucus production.

Also, try breathing exercises like pranayama. Practicing Nadi Shodhana or alternate nostril breathing daily for 5-10 minutes may help balance your body’s energies and prepare it to tackle allergens more effectively. Its simple: sit comfortably, close the right nostril and inhale deeply through the left, then exhale through the right. Repeat on the other side.

During sleeping hours, try to maintain consistent temperature settings—neither too hot nor cold. A humidifier in your room might alleviate dryness from air conditioning. If cooking scents are problematic, consider using cooking vents or making a habit of having windows open for fresh air circulation.

Herbal support can also be beneficial. Turmeric milk, consumed warm at night, can support respiratory health due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Mix half a teaspoon of turmeric in a glass of warm milk, adding some honey if desired.

If symtoms persist or worsen, consulting with a specialized Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare provider is advisable for a comprehensive, personalized evaluation and care.

Allergic rhinitis like what you’re experiencing can, often be connected to excess kapha dosha, which is associated with mucus production, heaviness, and congestion. In the context of your kitchen and humidity, these can exacerbate kapha.

First, consider using trikatu churna, a herbal mixture of ginger, long pepper, and black pepper, to manage this imbalance. Take about a pinch mixed in honey after meals, as its heating quality may help dry the excess kapha.

Anu taila is another option, it’s an oil used in the nose. A couple of drops in each nostril daily could help clear nasal passages. Use it in the morning after a bath, when the sinuses are more open.

Drinking lukewarm herbal tea infused with tulsi leaves, ginger, and a bit of licorice root could potentially soothe respiratory issues. This combination can boost your immunity and reduce irritation; drink it twice a day.

Spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel can be included in your daily diet to assist with balancing kapha by aiding digestion and reducing excess moisture in the body. Keep your food light, warm, and freshly prepared.

Ayurvedic steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil may relieve nasal congestion and ease breathing. Try doing this just before sleeping, since AC dryness can be an issue during the night.

Maintain proper ventilation in your kitchen, maybe use an exhaust fan to lower humidity. It can curb the environment’s effect on your allergies.

Always exit from air-conditioned rooms gradually to minimize temperature shock. Sudden changes in temperature like you’ve been experiencing can aggravate kapha and vata, leading to your symptoms.

Importantly, if the symptoms persist or worsen, it’s crucial to get a medical opinion to check for any underlying conditions. These measures are complements, not substitutes, for necessary medical care.
