To manage your long-term dust allergy using Siddha-Ayurvedic principles, we need to look at a comprehensive approach addressing the root cause, often pitta and kapha dosha imbalance. Dust allergies can be treated by improving agni (digestive fire) and clearing excess toxins. Bresol tablets are a common choice in Ayurveda for respiratory health, and you may consider incorporating them. Take Bresol twice a day 30 minutes before meals, but ensure you discuss it with your healthcare provider due to other medications you’re on.
Consider the following regimen: Start your morning by drinking lukewarm water infused with ginger and a dash of turmeric—it can help boost your agni and reduce kapha. Practicing daily nasya (nasal therapy) using Anu taila oil is traditional for cleansing and strengthening the nasal passages. Apply two drops in each nostril early morning. Avoid contact with dust triggers as much as possible and incorporate a routine of neti kriya (nasal cleansing). Remember that high BP and cholesterol require careful consideration; avoid excessive salt and opt for a light diet with plenty of vegetables and fruits.
Reducing spicy and oily foods minimizes pitta accumulation, and sipping herbal teas like tulsi or mint throughout the day aids in detoxification. Meditation and gentle yoga can aid in stress reduction, which positively affects your BP and overall health.
Consult your healthcare provider before making any adjustments to your medication regime or attempting new therapies. Prioritize integrating these, ensuring they won’t conflict with conditions or treatments for high BP and cholesterol.

THANK YOU FOR CONTACTING ASK AYURVEDA
WHEN ALLERGY IS PRESENT SINCE MANY YEARS AND SYMPTOMS RETURN IMMEDIATELY AFTER STOPPING MONTEK LC /BL, IT MEANS THAT MEDICINE IS ONLY SUPPRESSING SYMPTOMS AND THE BODY HAS DEVELOPED DEPENDENCE ON IT. DUST ALLERGY WITH MORNING SNEEZING, WATERY EYES AND RUNNING NOSE IS A CLASSIC SIGN OF CHRONIC ALLERGIC RHINITIS CONDITION MAINLY INVOLVING KAPHA AND VATA WITH IMMUNE HYPERSENSITIVITY.
BRESOL CAN DEFINITELY BE TAKEN . IT IS NOT A QUICK RELIEF MEDICINE LIKE MONTEK, BUT IT WORKS DEEPLY TO REDUCE ALLERGIC SENSITIVITY AND STRENGTHEN RESPIRATORY IMMUNITY . IT IS SAFE TO USE EVEN IF YOU HAVE HIGH BP AND CHOLESTEROL AND IT DOES NOT INTERACT WITH CONCOR, TELSAR OR ROSUVAS.
YOU MAY TAKE BRESOL CAPSULE - 1 CAPSULE TWICE DAILY AFTER FOOD WITH LUKEWARM WATER
ALONG WITH THAT TAKE HARIDRA KHANDA - 1/2 TSP TWICE DAILY AFTER BREAKFAST AND DINNER
DO NOT STOP MONTEK SUDDENLY. CONTINUE IT INITIALLY. AFTER 2 TO 3 WEEKS OF REGULAR AYURVEDIC CAPSULES, YOU MAY TRY REDUCING MONTEK TO ALTERNATE DAYS. GRADUALLY,
AVOID DIRECT FAN OR AC ON FACE, KEEP PILLOWS AND BEDDING DUST FREE, AND AVOID COLD WATER ON FACE IN THE MORNING. WITH CONSISTENT USE FOR 8 TO 12 WEEKS, DEPENDENCE ON ANTI ALLERGIC TABLETS USUALLY REDUCES NATURALLY.
The symptoms which you have mentioned shows that it is a long standing dust allergy/ allergic rhinitis in which symptoms like morning sneezing, watering of eyes runny nose and nasal irritation is seen the moment the anti allergic tablet is stopped. This shows that the allergy is being suppressed but the root cause is still active which needs to be treated.
Acc to ayurveda this condition is due to Kapha dominance in the nasal passages along with Vata and over time Agni becomes weak, leading to hypersensitivity to dust and environmental triggers. Continuous use of anti histamines may dry the system temporarily but does not correct the internal imbalance, which is why symptoms returns immediately.
Ayurveda aims to reduce dependency on daily anti allergy tablets, it strengthens respiratory immunity and calm hypersensitivity gradually. Since you also have high BP and cholesterol, medicines must be chosen carefully safe, non stimulating, and supportive
You can safely take Bresol Tablet -1 tablet twice daily after food This helps reduce allergic response, sneezing, nasal irritation and eye watering
Haridra cap 1 capsule twice daily after food with lukewarm water
Sitopaladi Churna -1/2 teaspoon twice daily with honey
Anu Taila -2 drops in each nostril every morning
Continue your BP and cholesterol medicines as advised
Lifestyle guidance - Wake up early, avoid staying in bed late morning Cover nose while cleaning, dusting or travelling Use a mask in dusty environments Do not sleep directly under fan or AC Keep bedding, pillows and curtains dust-free Steam inhalation with plain water 3–4 times a week
Prefer -Warm, freshly cooked food Turmeric, ginger, black pepper in small quantity Lukewarm water throughout the day Light dinners before 8 pm
Avoid -Cold water, fridge food, ice creams Curd at night Bakery items, excess sweets Cold exposure early morning Overuse of antihistamines unless absolutely needed
Do Pranayama like Anulom Vilom for 10 minutes Bhramari 5rounds Kapalbhati 2 to 3 minutes only Expose to early morning sunlight exposure for 15 minutes
Hello,
I totally understand your point. If you had to rely on Montek, LC / Montek, BL every day for a long time and then see the symptoms coming back immediately after you stop, it can definitely make you feel irritated and anxious.
What is nice about this story is the fact that Ayurveda can take care of this problem in the long run without hurting your heart or blood pressure. This, of course, has to be done gradually and in the correct manner.
CONCERNS THAT I HAVE ABOUT YOUR CASE
From the top of your past, the main questions would be:
Chronic allergic rhinitis (dust allergy) for 510 yearsDependency on antihistamine + montelukast (symptom, suppressing, not curative)Associated morning sneezing, watery eyes, runny noseExisting high BP and cholesterol (on Concor, Telsar + Rosuvas) The main problem is the long, standing KaphaVata imbalance with nasal mucosal hypersensitivity
Regular use of Montek keeps the symptoms under control but the root cause is not changed
It is at a sudden stopping that the rebound symptoms occur thus, it is expected
The idea, therefore, is to work on the root cause and to slowly withdraw the medication rather than to stop it abruptly.
AYURVEDIC INTERPRETATION
Ayurveda considers this problem as:
Pratishyaya (chronic allergic rhinitis)Aggravated Kapha + VataReduced local immunity of nasal mucosaThe dust is merely a trigger, not the disease.
ABOUT BRESOL TABLET (IMPORTANT)
Yes, Bresol Tablet can be a good and safe option even if a patient has conditions like: High BP Cholesterol

NASYA THERAPY (VERY IMPORTANT)
If no active cold or fever is present:Anu Taila Nasya 2 drops in each nostril Morning, empty stomach 5 days a week This strengthens nasal lining and reduces dust sensitivity Very helpful in reducing dependency on Montek
HOW TO REDUCE MONTEL DEPENDENCY (MONTEL SHOULD NOT BE STOPPED SUDDENLY)
Meanwhile, continue with Montek.
After 2- 3 weeks of Ayurveda: Use Montek on alternate days.
Slowly work your way down to: Twice weekly then stop.
It is NOT suggested to abruptly discontinue the medication
HOME REMEDIES (SUPPORTIVE & SAFE)

Hlo,
You are suffering from chronic allergic rhinitis for 5–10 years.
💊 ABOUT MONTEK LC / BL (Montelukast +Antihistamine) ✔ Why it helps you - Controls allergic inflammation Reduces sneezing, running nose, eye watering ⚠ Why symptoms return when stopped - Allergy tendency is chronic - Medicine controls symptoms but does not correct root cause - Long-term daily use becomes “support medicine” 👉 You are not addicted, but dependent for symptom control
❗ IMPORTANT POINT Do NOT stop Montelukast suddenly Otherwise symptoms will flare badly.
🌿 WHAT ABOUT BRESOL TABLET? ✔ YES, BRESOL IS USEFUL But not alone in severe allergy like yours. Bresol helps by: - Reducing allergic tendency - Improving immunity - Decreasing dust sensitivity - Gradually reducing dependence on Montelukast 👉 It works slowly but deeply (Ayurvedic Rasayana effect)
✅ SAFE & EFFECTIVE PLAN FOR YOU 🔹 STEP 1: Continue your current medicine Montek LC / BL – once daily (night) (This is important initially) 🔹 STEP 2: Add Ayurvedic support 🌿 Bresol Tablet 2 tablets twice daily After food With lukewarm water ⏱ Continue for 3 months
🔹 STEP 3: Add Nasal & immunity support (VERY IMPORTANT) 🌿 Anu Taila (nasal oil) 2 drops in each nostril Morning, empty stomach Daily 👉 This reduces dust sensitivity from root
🔹 STEP 4: After 4–6 weeks If symptoms improve: Try alternate-day Montelukast If stable → gradually stop after 2–3 months ⚠ Do this only if symptoms are controlled
❤️ BP & CHOLESTEROL – IS BRESOL SAFE? ✔ YES – SAFE - Bresol does NOT increase BP - Does NOT interfere with: Concor 2.5 Telsar 40 Rosuvast F10 So no worries 👍
🥗 DIET & LIFESTYLE (VERY IMPORTANT) ❌ Avoid Cold water Cold drinks Ice cream Early morning dust exposure Fan directly on face
