Hello,
I totally understand your point. If you had to rely on Montek, LC / Montek, BL every day for a long time and then see the symptoms coming back immediately after you stop, it can definitely make you feel irritated and anxious.
What is nice about this story is the fact that Ayurveda can take care of this problem in the long run without hurting your heart or blood pressure. This, of course, has to be done gradually and in the correct manner.
CONCERNS THAT I HAVE ABOUT YOUR CASE
From the top of your past, the main questions would be:
Chronic allergic rhinitis (dust allergy) for 510 yearsDependency on antihistamine + montelukast (symptom, suppressing, not curative)Associated morning sneezing, watery eyes, runny noseExisting high BP and cholesterol (on Concor, Telsar + Rosuvas) The main problem is the long, standing KaphaVata imbalance with nasal mucosal hypersensitivity
Regular use of Montek keeps the symptoms under control but the root cause is not changed
It is at a sudden stopping that the rebound symptoms occur thus, it is expected
The idea, therefore, is to work on the root cause and to slowly withdraw the medication rather than to stop it abruptly.
AYURVEDIC INTERPRETATION
Ayurveda considers this problem as:
Pratishyaya (chronic allergic rhinitis)Aggravated Kapha + VataReduced local immunity of nasal mucosaThe dust is merely a trigger, not the disease.
ABOUT BRESOL TABLET (IMPORTANT)
Yes, Bresol Tablet can be a good and safe option even if a patient has conditions like: High BP Cholesterol
It does not cause drowsiness, is not addictive, and does not increase blood pressure or heart rate.
Long Bresol alone is generally insufficient in cases like yours.

Your condition appears to be a classic case of recurrent allergies, possibly due to dust, and morning issues with sneezing and watery eyes. Since you’re managing high blood pressure and cholesterol, any modification or addition to your current regimen needs careful consideration. The Ayurvedic approach would primarily address root causes like potential imbalances in your Kapha and Vata doshas.
A good starting point could be to focus on improving your digestive fire (Agni), which may help in balancing your doshas and alleviating the allergic symptoms. Consider incorporating Trikatu powder — a mix of dried ginger, black pepper, and long pepper — as it can enhance Agni and support respiratory health. Consume half a teaspoon with warm water twice daily, ideally 30 mins before meals.
Bresol tablet is an herbal preparation that may aid in allergy management by supporting the respiratory system. You could certainly try this, although I would recommend starting with one tablet twice a day following meals. Monitor any changes in symptoms, especially since you’re already on medication for other conditions. Bresol generally doesn’t have known interactions but keep an eye on any adverse effects.
For your lifestyle, daily nasal cleansing with a saline solution or using a neti pot can help clear dust particles and allergens. Also, steam inhalation with a few drops of eucalyptus oil can provide relief from nasal congestion and morning discomfort.
Additionally, focus on dietary changes. Reduce consumption of dairy, cold foods, and excessively oily or fried items, which may support Kapha aggravation. Opt for warm, cooked meals, and include spices like turmeric, garlic, and cumin in your dishes.
Consistency is key here. Implement these changes, and re-evaluate your symptoms after a few weeks. If symptoms persist, it’s prudent to consult a healthcare professional or an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner for a tailored treatment plan, considering your specific health profile and current medications.
I have started Bresol twice a day and himalaya trikuta twice a day…so far sneezing, morning sickness all allergy stuff seems under control. How long should I continue this medication?
To manage your long-term dust allergy using Siddha-Ayurvedic principles, we need to look at a comprehensive approach addressing the root cause, often pitta and kapha dosha imbalance. Dust allergies can be treated by improving agni (digestive fire) and clearing excess toxins. Bresol tablets are a common choice in Ayurveda for respiratory health, and you may consider incorporating them. Take Bresol twice a day 30 minutes before meals, but ensure you discuss it with your healthcare provider due to other medications you’re on.
Consider the following regimen: Start your morning by drinking lukewarm water infused with ginger and a dash of turmeric—it can help boost your agni and reduce kapha. Practicing daily nasya (nasal therapy) using Anu taila oil is traditional for cleansing and strengthening the nasal passages. Apply two drops in each nostril early morning. Avoid contact with dust triggers as much as possible and incorporate a routine of neti kriya (nasal cleansing). Remember that high BP and cholesterol require careful consideration; avoid excessive salt and opt for a light diet with plenty of vegetables and fruits.
Reducing spicy and oily foods minimizes pitta accumulation, and sipping herbal teas like tulsi or mint throughout the day aids in detoxification. Meditation and gentle yoga can aid in stress reduction, which positively affects your BP and overall health.
Consult your healthcare provider before making any adjustments to your medication regime or attempting new therapies. Prioritize integrating these, ensuring they won’t conflict with conditions or treatments for high BP and cholesterol.

THANK YOU FOR CONTACTING ASK AYURVEDA
WHEN ALLERGY IS PRESENT SINCE MANY YEARS AND SYMPTOMS RETURN IMMEDIATELY AFTER STOPPING MONTEK LC /BL, IT MEANS THAT MEDICINE IS ONLY SUPPRESSING SYMPTOMS AND THE BODY HAS DEVELOPED DEPENDENCE ON IT. DUST ALLERGY WITH MORNING SNEEZING, WATERY EYES AND RUNNING NOSE IS A CLASSIC SIGN OF CHRONIC ALLERGIC RHINITIS CONDITION MAINLY INVOLVING KAPHA AND VATA WITH IMMUNE HYPERSENSITIVITY.
BRESOL CAN DEFINITELY BE TAKEN . IT IS NOT A QUICK RELIEF MEDICINE LIKE MONTEK, BUT IT WORKS DEEPLY TO REDUCE ALLERGIC SENSITIVITY AND STRENGTHEN RESPIRATORY IMMUNITY . IT IS SAFE TO USE EVEN IF YOU HAVE HIGH BP AND CHOLESTEROL AND IT DOES NOT INTERACT WITH CONCOR, TELSAR OR ROSUVAS.
YOU MAY TAKE BRESOL CAPSULE - 1 CAPSULE TWICE DAILY AFTER FOOD WITH LUKEWARM WATER
ALONG WITH THAT TAKE HARIDRA KHANDA - 1/2 TSP TWICE DAILY AFTER BREAKFAST AND DINNER
DO NOT STOP MONTEK SUDDENLY. CONTINUE IT INITIALLY. AFTER 2 TO 3 WEEKS OF REGULAR AYURVEDIC CAPSULES, YOU MAY TRY REDUCING MONTEK TO ALTERNATE DAYS. GRADUALLY,
AVOID DIRECT FAN OR AC ON FACE, KEEP PILLOWS AND BEDDING DUST FREE, AND AVOID COLD WATER ON FACE IN THE MORNING. WITH CONSISTENT USE FOR 8 TO 12 WEEKS, DEPENDENCE ON ANTI ALLERGIC TABLETS USUALLY REDUCES NATURALLY.
Take histadin 2 bd 90 days Take livtone 2 bd for 30 days
Hlo,
You are suffering from chronic allergic rhinitis for 5–10 years.
💊 ABOUT MONTEK LC / BL (Montelukast +Antihistamine) ✔ Why it helps you - Controls allergic inflammation Reduces sneezing, running nose, eye watering ⚠ Why symptoms return when stopped - Allergy tendency is chronic - Medicine controls symptoms but does not correct root cause - Long-term daily use becomes “support medicine” 👉 You are not addicted, but dependent for symptom control
❗ IMPORTANT POINT Do NOT stop Montelukast suddenly Otherwise symptoms will flare badly.
🌿 WHAT ABOUT BRESOL TABLET? ✔ YES, BRESOL IS USEFUL But not alone in severe allergy like yours. Bresol helps by: - Reducing allergic tendency - Improving immunity - Decreasing dust sensitivity - Gradually reducing dependence on Montelukast 👉 It works slowly but deeply (Ayurvedic Rasayana effect)
✅ SAFE & EFFECTIVE PLAN FOR YOU 🔹 STEP 1: Continue your current medicine Montek LC / BL – once daily (night) (This is important initially) 🔹 STEP 2: Add Ayurvedic support 🌿 Bresol Tablet 2 tablets twice daily After food With lukewarm water ⏱ Continue for 3 months
🔹 STEP 3: Add Nasal & immunity support (VERY IMPORTANT) 🌿 Anu Taila (nasal oil) 2 drops in each nostril Morning, empty stomach Daily 👉 This reduces dust sensitivity from root
🔹 STEP 4: After 4–6 weeks If symptoms improve: Try alternate-day Montelukast If stable → gradually stop after 2–3 months ⚠ Do this only if symptoms are controlled
❤️ BP & CHOLESTEROL – IS BRESOL SAFE? ✔ YES – SAFE - Bresol does NOT increase BP - Does NOT interfere with: Concor 2.5 Telsar 40 Rosuvast F10 So no worries 👍
