HELLO PUJA,

YOUR SYMPTOMS -daily runny nose, mostly in morning -associated headache - eye pain and strain in midday -no relief from warm water - chronic-symptoms persist for 2 years

These clearly point to a chronic imbalance, not juts a seasonal cold

CAUSATIVE FACTOR -exposure to cold or allergens-dust, pollen, mites - daytime sleeping -intake of cold, heavy, sweet foods= mild, yogurt, banana - weak digestion leading to toxin formation -suppressed natural urges-sneezing, tears etc -recurrent colds not fully treated.

DOSHA INVOLVEMENT KAPHA DOSHA= blocked sinuses, runny nose, mucous congestion VATA DOSHA= headaches, eye strain , dryness RASA AND PRANAVAHA SROTAS= lyphatic and respiratory channels are affected

PATHOGENESIS -kapha gets aggravated in the upper respiratory tract -undigested toxins forms due to low digestive fire - accumulated kapha+Ama block nasal and sinus channels - vata gets vitiated due to obstruction-> headache, eye pain.

This condition is closely aligned with - Dushta pratishaya=chronic rhinitis - Kaphaja shirashoola= Kapha type headache - Nidranasha= sleep disturbance due to breathing issues

Not necessarily that it is immunodeficiency. Chronic sinus./allergy issues mimic immune weakness but are more about local hypersensitivity and kapha dysfunction, not systemic immune failure. However, immunity gets depleted over time.

Hi puja this is Dr Vinayak as considering your problem.yes it may be due to sinusitis or allergic rhinitis or hypertrophy of turbinates **Regularly take plane water steam is best to get relief Avoid cold items and exposure to AC or fan directly Rx- Tab A flu -cil 1-0-1 after food T histablock 1-0-1 after food Bresol nasal drops 2drops twice T ransadi guggulu 1-0-1 after food

Frequent cold symptoms, particularly in the morning, can certainly be linked to sinus issues, but it could also relate to an imbalance in the kapha dosha, which, when aggravated, often leads to conditions like excess mucus production, congestion, and associated headaches. Ayurveda looks at this from the perspective of lifestyle and dietary practices, along with some specific remedies that could bring relief to your symptoms.

First, daily nasya practice might be quite beneficial. Nasya involves applying medicated oil drops into the nostrils, which can help in clearing sinus congestion and preventing further issues. Try using Anu Taila, a classic formulation for this purpose. Do this in the morning, ideally before breakfast, lying down with your head tilted back. Place a few drops in each nostril and inhale deeply.

In addition, focus on your diet to pacify kapha. Reduce or avoid dairy products, cold and fried foods, as they might increase mucus production. Similarly, include more warming and light foods. Ginger tea could be quite helpful; drink it right after waking up. You can prepare it by boiling fresh ginger slices in water and adding a bit of honey.

Keeping your digestion strong is also crucial. Consider taking trikatu powder with honey before meals. Trikatu, which is a combination of black pepper, pipli, and ginger, helps kindling your digestive fire (agni), breaking down the mucus, and improving overall detox.

Steam inhalation once or twice a day with eucalyptus oil can provide immediate relief by clearing nasal passages. Simply add a few drops to hot water and cover your head with a towel, inhaling deeply.

Ensure your sleeping environment is warm and avoid exposure to cold breezes. Protect yourself from allergens like dust, which might aggravate your condition. For potential infections, ayurvedic herbs like Tulsi and Neem have anti-inflammatory properties that might aid in reducing symptoms.

If these measures do not result in significant improvement, consider visiting an Ayurvedic practitioner who might offer a tailored approach, including therapies like Panchakarma, which are specifically designed to treat chronic sinusitis and related disorders. Keep monitoring your symptoms closely, and if there are any signs of severity, consult a healthcare professional to rule out other causes.

HELLO PUJA,

Chronic cold and runny nose every morning for years, along with headaches and eye pain, can indeed be related to sinusitis, allergic rhinitis or both. In Ayurveda, this is often due to an imbalance of Kapha dosha, particularly when aggravated by environmental factors, diet and lifestyle

Your symptoms align with a condition known as pratishya often involving -kapha accumulation in the sinus and nasal passages -possible vata involvement causing headaches and pain - ama(toxins) formation due to weak digestion or lifestyle choices.
