Hello, Please share the level of ESR and also IgE levels. There are 2 ways of approach when you have dust and food allergies. Firs is avoiding the cause(identify the food which is causing allergy and completely avoid them+ protect yourself from dust); second is strengthen your immunity against the allergens. The medicines below are to achieve the second one. 1. Brihat haridra khandam 1 tsp as first food in the morning with a cup of warm milk/warm water in the empty stomach. 2. Nasoallerin Capsules 1----1----1 after each meal with a cup of warm water. 3. Dasamoolakatutrayam kashayam 10ml+ indukantha kashayam 10ml by adding 80 ml boiled and then cooled water one hour before breakfast and one hour before dinner. 4. Anu thailam 2 drops to each nostril in the morning and in the evening All for 90 days. After 90 days: 5. Chyavanaprasham(vaidyaratnam pharmacy) 1 tsp in the evening before going to bed with warm water/warm milk for 120 days.
diet and lifestyle while consuming ayurveda medicines: 1.As mentioned earlier identify and completely avoid allergens. 2.Avoid all processed-outside-refrigerated-raw-cold food items 3.Keep yourself warm. 4. Eat at regular times, freshly cooked warm food. 5. Drink 2 liters of boiled warm water a day. 6. Learn and start practicing pranayama everyday for minutes without fail. Take care. Kind regards.

HELLO RAJNI ,
You have been struggling with allergy-related issues for the past four years, mainly triggered by food, dust, and dust mites. These allergens have caused repeated sneezing, coughing, and, over the last two years, breathing difficulties. Your ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) is elevated, indicating ongoing inflammation in your body. Chronic allergies not only affect your nose and lungs but can also impact your overall immunity and energy levels. Repeated allergen exposure can lead to congestion, airway inflammation, and long-term sensitivity.
Allopathic and homeopathic medicines have not provided lasting relief, which shows your body needs a foundational approach that balances digestion (Agni), clears accumulated toxins (Ama), and strengthens respiratory and immune health. In Ayurveda, allergies are seen as a combination of impaired digestion leading to Ama (toxins), aggravated Kapha (causing congestion), and Vata imbalance (creating dryness, irritation, and hypersensitivity).
The treatment plan focuses first on Ama Pachana to help your body digest and absorb medicines effectively. Internal medicines like Sitopaladi and Talisadi help reduce mucus, inflammation, and respiratory irritation. Nasya therapy and steam inhalation open nasal passages, reduce congestion, and calm overactive airway responses. Diet also plays a critical role: heavy, cold, oily, or processed foods can worsen Kapha and Ama, aggravating allergy symptoms. Warm, cooked meals with ghee, turmeric, and mild spices support digestion, reduce toxins, and calm respiratory inflammation. Seasonal fruits with natural antioxidants help boost immunity.
Consistency is essential. Even if symptoms improve initially, continuing the medicines, therapies, and dietary guidance ensures lasting results. Long-standing allergies take time to settle, but with adherence, you can notice improvement in breathing, sneezing frequency, and overall energy within a few weeks, with more sustained relief over months.
Following the treatment as advised will give you the best chance of overcoming these chronic allergy issues.
Prescription, start with amapachana for 3 DAYS,
Ama Pachana: Hingwashtak Churna 1 tsp with warm water before meals for 3 days
Sitopaladi Churna ½â1 tsp twice daily with honey or warm water Talisadi Churna ½â1 tsp twice daily with warm water
Nasya: Anu Tailam 2â3 drops in each nostril daily
Steam inhalation with turmeric or herbal decoction once daily
Dietary guidance: Warm, cooked meals, avoid cold, oily, and processed foods, include seasonal fruits, turmeric, and mild spices
Investigations: ESR (already elevated), CBC, IgE if needed, and routine respiratory check-up.
Follow-up and concern: Monitor breathing, sneezing, and energy levels weekly. Adherence is key if you follow the treatment consistently, improvement is expected within a few weeks, and sustained relief over months. Avoid allergens as much as possible.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika
Namaste Rajni,
I Hope this Help you
Allergic rhinitis and food allergies are often the result of VataâKapha imbalance along with low immunity and long-standing gut issues like constipation.
đš Kapha aggravation leads to excessive mucus formation, nasal congestion, heaviness, and hypersensitivity. đš Vata aggravation disturbs the gut, weakens immunity, and increases reactivity to allergens.
For long-term management, I recommend a personal consultation with an Ayurvedic physician, since treatment should be customized according to your prakriti (constitution) and vikriti (imbalance).
Meanwhile, some supportive measures you can adopt are:
1ď¸âŁ Regular Intake of Lukewarm Water
Helps digest ama (toxins)
Balances Vata and Kapha by improving agni (digestive fire).
2ď¸âŁ Diet & Lifestyle Regulations
Avoid: curd, achar (pickles), stale/fermented foods, and cold items.
Restrict: late-night sleeping and day-sleep, as they aggravate Kapha and weaken immunity.
3ď¸âŁ Anu Taila Nasya (Nasal Drops)
2 drops in each nostril daily, preferably in the morning.
It strengthens the upper respiratory tract, lubricates nasal passages, prevents allergen entry, and pacifies aggravated Vata and Kapha in the head region.
By addressing both gut health and respiratory strength, you will notice gradual improvement, but for sustained relief, personalized Ayurvedic treatment is necessary.
Long-standing sneezing, cough, breathlessness with allergies is usually considered under Pratishyaya (Allergic Rhinitis)
You can start with following remedies:-
1. Nidana Parivarjan (Avoidance of triggers)- ⢠Avoid dust, smoke, cold foods, fermented/junk foods, curd at night, and direct exposure to AC/fan air. ⢠Maintain warm, easily digestible, freshly cooked food. 2. Internal Medicines ⢠Sitopaladi Churna â 1â2 g with honey, twice daily. ⢠Haridra Khanda â 1 tsp with warm milk, twice daily ⢠Chyawanprash â 1 tsp daily in the morning with warm milk ⢠Trikatu Churna (Pippali, Maricha, Shunthi) â 1 g with honey, once daily
Daily morning Anu Taila or Shadbindu Taila, 2 drops in each nostril.
Warm water gargles with turmeric + salt at night.
Steam inhalation with tulsi / ajwain seeds if blocked nose.
