Hello, Please share the level of ESR and also IgE levels. There are 2 ways of approach when you have dust and food allergies. Firs is avoiding the cause(identify the food which is causing allergy and completely avoid them+ protect yourself from dust); second is strengthen your immunity against the allergens. The medicines below are to achieve the second one. 1. Brihat haridra khandam 1 tsp as first food in the morning with a cup of warm milk/warm water in the empty stomach. 2. Nasoallerin Capsules 1----1----1 after each meal with a cup of warm water. 3. Dasamoolakatutrayam kashayam 10ml+ indukantha kashayam 10ml by adding 80 ml boiled and then cooled water one hour before breakfast and one hour before dinner. 4. Anu thailam 2 drops to each nostril in the morning and in the evening All for 90 days. After 90 days: 5. Chyavanaprasham(vaidyaratnam pharmacy) 1 tsp in the evening before going to bed with warm water/warm milk for 120 days.

diet and lifestyle while consuming ayurveda medicines: 1.As mentioned earlier identify and completely avoid allergens. 2.Avoid all processed-outside-refrigerated-raw-cold food items 3.Keep yourself warm. 4. Eat at regular times, freshly cooked warm food. 5. Drink 2 liters of boiled warm water a day. 6. Learn and start practicing pranayama everyday for minutes without fail. Take care. Kind regards.

HELLO RAJNI ,

You have been struggling with allergy-related issues for the past four years, mainly triggered by food, dust, and dust mites. These allergens have caused repeated sneezing, coughing, and, over the last two years, breathing difficulties. Your ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) is elevated, indicating ongoing inflammation in your body. Chronic allergies not only affect your nose and lungs but can also impact your overall immunity and energy levels. Repeated allergen exposure can lead to congestion, airway inflammation, and long-term sensitivity.

Allopathic and homeopathic medicines have not provided lasting relief, which shows your body needs a foundational approach that balances digestion (Agni), clears accumulated toxins (Ama), and strengthens respiratory and immune health. In Ayurveda, allergies are seen as a combination of impaired digestion leading to Ama (toxins), aggravated Kapha (causing congestion), and Vata imbalance (creating dryness, irritation, and hypersensitivity).

The treatment plan focuses first on Ama Pachana to help your body digest and absorb medicines effectively. Internal medicines like Sitopaladi and Talisadi help reduce mucus, inflammation, and respiratory irritation. Nasya therapy and steam inhalation open nasal passages, reduce congestion, and calm overactive airway responses. Diet also plays a critical role: heavy, cold, oily, or processed foods can worsen Kapha and Ama, aggravating allergy symptoms. Warm, cooked meals with ghee, turmeric, and mild spices support digestion, reduce toxins, and calm respiratory inflammation. Seasonal fruits with natural antioxidants help boost immunity.

Consistency is essential. Even if symptoms improve initially, continuing the medicines, therapies, and dietary guidance ensures lasting results. Long-standing allergies take time to settle, but with adherence, you can notice improvement in breathing, sneezing frequency, and overall energy within a few weeks, with more sustained relief over months.

Following the treatment as advised will give you the best chance of overcoming these chronic allergy issues.

Prescription, start with amapachana for 3 DAYS,

Ama Pachana: Hingwashtak Churna 1 tsp with warm water before meals for 3 days

Sitopaladi Churna ½–1 tsp twice daily with honey or warm water Talisadi Churna ½–1 tsp twice daily with warm water

Nasya: Anu Tailam 2–3 drops in each nostril daily

Steam inhalation with turmeric or herbal decoction once daily

Dietary guidance: Warm, cooked meals, avoid cold, oily, and processed foods, include seasonal fruits, turmeric, and mild spices

Investigations: ESR (already elevated), CBC, IgE if needed, and routine respiratory check-up.

Follow-up and concern: Monitor breathing, sneezing, and energy levels weekly. Adherence is key if you follow the treatment consistently, improvement is expected within a few weeks, and sustained relief over months. Avoid allergens as much as possible.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Namaste Rajni,

I Hope this Help you

Allergic rhinitis and food allergies are often the result of Vata–Kapha imbalance along with low immunity and long-standing gut issues like constipation.

🔹 Kapha aggravation leads to excessive mucus formation, nasal congestion, heaviness, and hypersensitivity. 🔹 Vata aggravation disturbs the gut, weakens immunity, and increases reactivity to allergens.

For long-term management, I recommend a personal consultation with an Ayurvedic physician, since treatment should be customized according to your prakriti (constitution) and vikriti (imbalance).

Meanwhile, some supportive measures you can adopt are:

1️⃣ Regular Intake of Lukewarm Water

Helps digest ama (toxins)

Balances Vata and Kapha by improving agni (digestive fire).

2️⃣ Diet & Lifestyle Regulations

Avoid: curd, achar (pickles), stale/fermented foods, and cold items.

Restrict: late-night sleeping and day-sleep, as they aggravate Kapha and weaken immunity.

3️⃣ Anu Taila Nasya (Nasal Drops)

2 drops in each nostril daily, preferably in the morning.

It strengthens the upper respiratory tract, lubricates nasal passages, prevents allergen entry, and pacifies aggravated Vata and Kapha in the head region.

By addressing both gut health and respiratory strength, you will notice gradual improvement, but for sustained relief, personalized Ayurvedic treatment is necessary.

Long-standing sneezing, cough, breathlessness with allergies is usually considered under Pratishyaya (Allergic Rhinitis)

You can start with following remedies:-

1. Nidana Parivarjan (Avoidance of triggers)- • Avoid dust, smoke, cold foods, fermented/junk foods, curd at night, and direct exposure to AC/fan air. • Maintain warm, easily digestible, freshly cooked food. 2. Internal Medicines • Sitopaladi Churna – 1–2 g with honey, twice daily. • Haridra Khanda – 1 tsp with warm milk, twice daily • Chyawanprash – 1 tsp daily in the morning with warm milk • Trikatu Churna (Pippali, Maricha, Shunthi) – 1 g with honey, once daily

Daily morning Anu Taila or Shadbindu Taila, 2 drops in each nostril.

Warm water gargles with turmeric + salt at night.

Steam inhalation with tulsi / ajwain seeds if blocked nose.

Start Yastimadhu churan 1tsp+ sitopaladi churan 1tsp twice daily after food with honey . Giloy ghanvati 1-0-1 after food with water Laxmivilas ras 1-0-1 after food with water Steam inhalation twice daily Gargle with warm water twice with 1/2 tsp turmeric powder. Do Nasya with Anu tel 2drops in both nostril once daily Do pranayam lom -vilom bhastrika kapalbhati daily for 5-10mins twice. Avoid citrus fruits, fried foods

HELLO RAJNI,

You’ve been dealing with chronic allergies (to food and dust), with symptoms like sneezing, cough, runny nose, and now breathing difficulties for a last 4 years. You also have a high ESR, which shows inflammation is ongoing in your body. Despite taking allopathic and homeopathic treatments, the root cause hasn’t been solved.

In Ayurveda, your condition is understood as a combination of -Tamak shwasa (allergic/ashmatic breathing problem) -pratisyaya (allergic rhinitis) -kapha vata imbalance -ama(toxins) accumulation -Ojas depletion (low immunity)

TREATMENT GOALS -remove toxins(ama) and reduce inflamamtion -balance kapha and vata doshas -stregthen digestion and metabolism -improve lung function and reduce respiratory blockage -enhance immunity to prevent recurrence

-WARM OIL MASSAGE= sesame oil on face, neck and chest for 3 times/week =improves circulation, reduces vata

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 -bhujangasana= opens chest and lungs -setu badhasana= enhances lung capacity -matsyasana= relieves nasal congestion -adho mukha svanasana= improves breathing

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

LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS -wake up early -do gentle face and neck massage before bath -avoid cold exposure to head and chest especially in morning -wash bed lines, pillows, curtains frequently to avoid dust -use an air purifier or nasal filter if exposed to dust -drink warm water throughout the day -avoid daytime naps

COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID -using nasal sprays or inhalers long term without solving root cause -overeating or eating incompatible foods -delaying meals or eating very late at night -igoring early signs like sneezing or runny nose -skipping sleep or using mobile devices before bed

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

Chronic sneezing is not merely a nasal issue; it reflects deeper immune and Doshi imbalances

Ayurvedic approach is not symptom-suppressive, but aims to correct root causes by aligning digestion, immunity, and nervous system

Consistency in following the protocol, especially in lifestyle and diet, gives long term and sustainable relief

What you can expect -symptoms like sneezing, cough, and breathing trouble can reduce in 3-6 weeks -long term immunity can be built in 3-6 months -full relief may take 6-12 months with lifestyle changes -track ESR every 2 months

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Allergies and related symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, and now breathing issues can be understood through the lens of Ayurveda by analyzing potential dosha imbalances. From an Ayurvedic perspective, these symptoms often relate to an imbalance of the Kapha and Vata doshas. Here’s a step-by-step approach to help you manage these issues.

First, let’s address your respiratory concerns and high ESR. Elevated ESR often indicates inflammation, which can be managed by balancing the doshas. Begin your day with warm water mixed with a pinch of turmeric, which is anti-inflammatory and helps in reducing excess Kapha. This simple drink can aid in detoxifying the body when taken consistently.

Introduce Trikatu churna (a blend of black pepper, long pepper, and ginger) into your routine—it helps in stimulating Agni (digestive fire) and clearing respiratory channels. Take 1/4 teaspoon, mixed with honey, twice daily after meals. Breathe through steam inhalation using Tulsi (holy basil) leaves boiled in water. This practice opens up the airways, reducing breathing difficulties due to allergies.

Dietary changes are essential: Reduce intake of dairy products, processed foods, and anything overly cold, which can increase Kapha and thus mucus production. Instead, focus on warm, easily digestible meals, such as soups and steamed vegetables, which pacify Vata and Kapha doshas. Regular intake of herbal teas made from licorice root or ginger can further alleviate symptoms.

Lifestyle modifications include avoiding dust prone areas as much as possible and using a dust mask during cleaning activities. Employ oil pulling with sesame oil in the morning to remove toxins (ama) and improve oral health. Pranayama, especially Anulom Vilom and Kapalbhati, done early in the morning, can strengthen your respiratory system over time and calm Vata.

However, it’s crucial to closely monitor your symptoms, especially related to breathing limitations, and seek immediate medical attention if they worsen to ensure there’s no delay in critical care. Do keep in touch with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice aligned with your specific constitution and condition.

High ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) often indicates inflammation in the body, possibly linked to your ongoing allergic responses. In Siddha-Ayurvedic terms, what you’re experiencing can relate to an imbalance in the Pitta and Kapha doshas, with excess Kapha manifesting as congestion and respiratory issues. A holistic approach, combining dietary adjustments and lifestyle practices, could help rebalance these doshas.

Start with your diet. Avoid cold, heavy, and mucus-producing foods such as dairy, processed foods, and cold beverages, as these can aggravate Kapha. Instead, opt for warm, light meals including spicy, bitter, and astringent flavors to pacify Kapha. Adding ginger and black pepper to meals can help reduce excess mucus. Avoid known allergens, paying careful attention to what triggers your symptoms.

Incorporate breathing exercises like Pranayama every morning. Techniques such as Kapalabhati and Anulom Vilom promote clear breathing and help in reducing stress. These should be practiced in a calm environment for about 15-20 minutes each day.

Creating a steam inhalation with a few drops of eucalyptus oil can provide temporary relief from nasal congestion, helping your breathing. Do this especially before sleeping for better rest.

Herbal formulations can support your condition. Look for preparations containing Tulsi, Vasaka, or Yashtimadhu (licorice) known in Ayurveda for their benefits to the respiratory system. These can be taken as teas or in recommended dosage as per guidance from a practitioner.

With symptom persistence and high ESR, underlying inflammation needs addressing. Consult an Ayurvedic physician for detailed examination and customized herbal formulations. If respriratory distress worsens, seek medical attention as it might require urgent intervention, ensuring your immediate safety while Ayurvedic methods are introduced gradually.
