HELLO ASHWINI,
This is not just a cold, It’s a chronic allergy condition, likely allergic rhinitis or sinusitis from an ayurvedic point of view.
Ayurveda explains this kind of illness through dosha imbalance (vata, pitta, kapha) and Ama(toxins)
In your case
1) WEAK DIGESTION-> FORMATION OF AMA(TOXINS) -when digestion (agni) is weak, your body can’t digest food properly. -this creates sticky, toxic waste called “AMA” -Ama clogs your body’s channels and lowers your immunity (Ojas)
2) KAPHA + VATA IMBALANCE= breathing and cold issues -kapha is responsible for mucus, fluids, and structures - when kapha increases, it causes excess mucus, heaviness in head, blocked nose, sneezing, and cough. - Vata, which controls air and movement, becomes disturbed due to irregular eating, sleeping, and medicine use -vata then pushes kapha into wrong places- like your sinuses, lungs, and chest
THIS IS WHY YOU CAN FEEL -air is stuck or moving weirdly in your chest/stomach -your head feels full or blocked - you get instant relief when you eat warm food- because digestion slightly improves
3) CHEMICAL MEDICINES ONLY SUPPRESS- NOT CURE -Inhalers blocks the allergic reaction temporarily -but it doesn’t fix the root problem - over time, your body becomes dependent on the medicine, and the internal weakness increases
TREATMENT GOAL -balance vata and kapha doshas - remove toxins(ama) - boost agni(digestive power) - improve immunity - reduce dependence on chemical medicines -prevent recurrence
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) SHITOPALADI CHURNA+ GODANTI BHASMA + YASHTIMADHU CHURNA= 1 tsp twice daily with honey in morning and night for 3-6 months =for cough, cold, head heaviness
2) TRIBHUVAN KIRTI RAS= 125 mg twice daily after meals for 1 month =anti-viral, antipyretic, relieves congestion
3) HARIDRA KHANDA= 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk in morning and night for 3months =anti allergic, immunity booster
4) TALISADI CHURNA= 1 tsp with honey twice daily for 3 months =respiratory support
5) CHYAWANPRASHA(zandu brand)= 1 tsp daily in morning empty stomach for 6 months or more = rejuvenator, strengthens lungs and immunity
NASYA= 3 drops of ANU TAILA in each nostril daily in morning empty stomach =clears sinuses
IF AVAILABLE THIS TREATMENT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENEDED TO ELIMINATE THE ROOT CAUSE -VAMANA= for Kapha dosha(therapeutic vomiting)
EXTERNAL THERAPY
STEAM INHALATION with tulsi, eucalyptus, ajwain
WARM OIL MASSAGE on chest and back with KARPURADI TAILA
DIET TO BE FOLLOWED= pacify vata and kapha and avoid toxin formation
INCLUDE -warm, light, freshly prepared meals -moong dal, steamed vegetables, rice, ghee -spices=turmeric, ginger, cumin, black pepper, ajwain - herbal teas= tulsi, ginger, cinnamom -honey(never heated) -soups and warm water -goat milk or warm turmeric milk at night
AVOID -cold,refrigerated, or leftover food - curd, yogurt, cheese - milk + salt combination -oily, deep fried food - sugary or processed items - banana, especially at night - heavy legumes -rajma, chole etc
DAILY ROUTINE -wake up early by 7am -nasya with Anu taila -warm water with lemon and honey - gentle stretching or yoga -avoid cold exposure or sudden temperature shifts
YOGA ASANA -bhujngasana -matsyasana -dhanurasana -Setu Bandhasana -suryanamaskar=5-6 rounds
PRANAYAM(highly effective) -Anulom-vilom= Balances Vata and kapha -Bhramari= relaxes mind, soothes sinuses -Kapalbhati= clears sinuses
HOME REMEDIES
1) TURMERIC MILK warm milk + 1/2 tsp turmeric + pinch black pepper before bed
2) GINGER TULSI TEA boil ginger , tulsi, cinnamon and sip throughout the day
3) AJWAIN POTLI STEAM dry roast ajwain, tie in cloth, inhale steam or place near pillow at night
4) HONEY AND CINNAMON 1/2 tsp honey + pinch cinnamon in morning
-This condition is manageable and reversible in Ayurveda with consistent treatment and lifestyle adjustments -It may take 3 to 6 months to reduce dependence on Antihistamines -keep regular follow ups -once body is detoxified and strengthened you’ll notice -less frequency and severity of symptoms -more energy - better sleep - no medicine dependency
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Controlling allergies that lead to symptoms like sneezing, stuffy nose, swollen polyps, and chest wheezing requires a comprehensive approach in Ayurveda. First, to address the allergic rhinitis, focus on strengthening the immune system and balancing the doshas, especially Kapha. Consider following these steps:
1. Dietary Adjustments: Reduce Kapha-aggravating foods such as dairy, gluten, and processed sugars. Opt for warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest. Spices like turmeric, ginger, and black pepper can help to pacify Kapha and Pitta, reduce inflammation, and aid digestion.
2. Nasya Therapy: Administering medicated oils into the nostrils can help cleanse and strengthen the nasal passages. You might use Anu Taila, an Ayurvedic nasal oil, which should be applied daily after steam inhalation. However, this should be done under the supervision of a practitioner.
3. Herbal Supplements: Consider herbs like Tulsi, Yashtimadhu (Licorice), and Haridra (Turmeric) to reduce inflammation and boost immunity. Bhumi Amla is also known for its potential in respiratory health.
4. Pranayama and Breathing Exercises: Regular practice of breathing exercises such as Anulom Vilom and Bhramari can help improve lung capacity and reduce wheezing. These exercises can ease bronchial congestion when practiced consistently.
5. Lifestyle Modifications: Avoid exposure to known allergens by maintaining a clean home environment. Use a humidifier if dry air exacerbates your symptoms.
6. Steam Inhalation and Gargling: Use steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil to open nasal passages and gargle with warm salt water to soothe the throat.
Ensure you consult an Ayurvedic practitioner who can tailor these suggestions to your condition. For immediate concerns like chest wheezing and potential bronchitis, seeking prompt medical attention is critical. The inhalers you’re using should continued as per your doctor’s advice. Integrate Ayurveda as a supportive practice, not a replacement for essential medical care, especially in acute conditions.
Allergies causing symptoms like sneezing and a stuffy nose can often lead to aggravation of Kapha dosha. When these symptoms aggravate, they can contribute to conditions like swollen polyps and chest wheezing. Managing this requires a holistic approach that balances doshas, improves agni, and calms the respiratory system.
First, focus on managing your environment. Ensure that areas where you spend time are free from dust, mold, and any other known allergens. Use natural cleaning agents and avoid synthetic fragrances which can trigger or worsen symptoms. Consider using an air purifier in spaces you frequent like your bedroom or office.
To specifically address the symptoms, steam inhalation can be quite beneficial. Adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil to boiling water and inhaling the steam can relieve nasal congestion and help soothe the airways. Do this twice a day, espicially before bedtime to reduce symptoms through the night.
Diet plays a crucial role in Ayurveda. Try to avoid cold, heavy or oily foods that can increase Kapha. Incorporate more warming, light meals like ginger tea to enhance digestive fire. Including spices like turmeric and black pepper in your meals can also help reduce inflammation and clear congestion.
For swollen polyps and chronic nasal issues, the use of a neti pot with warm saline solution can be beneficial. Flushing out nasal passages helps reduce inflammation and keeps polyps from worsening. However, perform this with caution and cleanliness to avoid any bacterial contamination.
In cases where chest wheezing leads to bronchitis, triphala might be helpful. This herbal formulation aids in balancing the doshas and promoting lung health. Take triphala churna in warm water at night to help cleanse and strengthen respiratory pathways.
If symptoms worsen, or you find reliance on inhalers increasing, it’s crucial to consult a healthcare provider. In cases of severe asthma or bronchitis, immediate and allopathic medical intervention is often needed to prevent further complications. Balancing Ayurvedic remedies with modern medicine ensures you receive comprehensive care.
Always remember to consult with a qualified practitioner as they can provide personalized advice after examining your specific symptoms and constitution.
