Allergic rhinitis is a chronic hypersensitivity condition that requires a long term , multi pronged approach- especially when it has lasted as long as a 5 years and is resistant to medications.
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 -open blocked nasal and sinus channels - 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
