Throat itching can be quite frustrating, especially when it persists despite various attempts to treat it. Let’s try to approach this from an Ayurvedic perspective, which can sometimes offer insights not immediately apparent through modern medicine.

Throat itching often aligns with an imbalance in the Kapha dosha, which may have accumulated in the respiratory channels. The key is understanding what might be contributing to this persistent symptom. Consider possible irritants in your environment—like allergens, pollution, or even certain foods. Sometimes, excess mucus production or minor irritants could keep triggering the itching.

Try this: Start with an herbal remedy known as mulethi (licorice root). You can gently chew on a small piece 2-3 times a day, it might help soothe the throat irritation. Meanwhile, sipping warm water with a bit of honey and ginger could calm the throat and balance the Kapha. Do this a few times a day, especially after meals.

Diet can play a significant role too—reduce dairy intake which can lead to mucus build-up. Instead, opt plant-based foods that are easy to digest and reduce Kapha, like warm soups and cooked greens. Fresh ginger tea is also beneficial, aiding digestion and clearing respiratory pathways.

Alongside, consider doing some simple Pranayama (breathing exercises) like Anulom Vilom. It’s gentle and helps clear the nasal passage, supporting clear breathing. Five to ten minutes in the morning might provide some relief.

Finally, make sure your home is free of dust and microparticulate matter. Sometimes these subtle irritants go unnoticed. Also, hydration is critical. Keep track on your water intake throughout the day, aiming to consume at least eight glasses.

If these suggestions don’t alleviate your symptoms, it might be useful to revisit the ENT specialist to rule out any deeper causes or consider a second opinion from another healthcare professional. Sometimes a fresh perspective brings light to something missed.
