"How can I permanently cure recurring allergy symptoms like itchy eyes and sneezing?" - #25494

Rupashree Debnath

I have been suffering from allergies since birth. Over the years, they’ve become a regular part of my life, but they are still very difficult to deal with. The most common symptoms I experience are constant sneezing and severe itching in my eyes. Sometimes the itching becomes unbearable, and the sneezing comes in long, repeated fits that leave me feeling exhausted. These symptoms interfere with my sleep, concentration, and day-to-day life. To manage them, I usually take allergy medicine, which provides relief—but only temporarily. The medicine works for about two days, after which the symptoms return just as strongly as before. This cycle of temporary relief and quick return of symptoms keeps repeating, and it’s starting to affect my mental and physical health. Because I’ve had allergies since I was a baby, I’m not even sure what exactly triggers them. It could be dust, pollen, certain foods, or something else in my environment. I feel like the medication only masks the symptoms rather than treating the actual cause. I'm now looking for a more permanent solution—maybe allergy testing, lifestyle changes, or long-term treatment. I just want to find a way to live comfortably without depending on short-term medicine forever.

Managing recurring allergy symptoms like sneezing and itchy eyes can certainly be exhausting. From an Ayurvedic perspective, it’s key to understand that such symptoms are often linked to an imbalance in the Kapha dosha, which can manifest as an overreaction of the body's immune system. First, consider identifying potential allergens—common triggers can include dust, pollen, or certain foods. An allergy test may help you pinpoint specific irritants. In Ayurveda, the goal is to strengthen the Agni (digestive fire) and stabilise the immune response. Begin by incorporating dietary adjustments aimed at balancing Kapha and pacifying Pitta dosha, which may be inflamed due to the symptoms. Favor warm, light, and easily digestible foods such as soups and steamed vegetables. Avoid cold, heavy, or oily foods and limit dairy, which can increase mucus production. Starting each day with a glass of warm water mixed with honey and lemon juice can help detoxify the body. Turmeric is highly beneficial too; adding a pinch of turmeric powder to warm milk daily can help bolster your immunity due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Nasya, or nasal administration of medicinal oils, can be particularly effective in managing allergies. Anu taila is often recommended; apply a few drops in each nostril daily, preferably in the morning. Practice Pranayama, specifically Anulom Vilom and Kapal Bhati, to enhance respiratory function and clear nasal passages. Lifestyle-wise, try to maintain a regular routine by sleeping and waking up at the same time daily. It will help regulate your body’s internal clock and strengthen its resilience. Also, keep your living environment clean and well-ventilated. Consult with a qualified Ayurvedic physician to tailor these recommendations to your unique constitution and needs. If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s important to involve a medical professional to rule out any serious underlying issues. Ayurveda seeks not just to mask symptoms but to address the root cause, aiming for long-lasting relief.

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 THANK YOU DR.

I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.
