Ah, the struggle with dust allergies can be pretty rough, right? When it comes to Ayurveda, it’s all about finding balance and understanding your constitution, or prakriti. Okay, let’s try tackle this. Usually, for respiratory issues like this, Kapha dosha might be playing up. But hey, we all got our unique mix of doshas, so it’s good to have a sense of your own balance.

First off, let’s talk about your diet, it plays a big role. Eating lighter, warm meals can really help reduce kapha buildup. Avoid heavy, cold, or very oily foods if you can, like dairy (deep-fried pakoras - tempting but maybe skip ‘em for now), and stick more to warm soups, clear broths, and freshly cooked veggies. Drinking warm water through the day might also help, especially with some ginger or a pinch of turmeric rockin’ your digestive fire, or agni.

Also, in Ayurveda, the neti pot comes to the rescue. Have you tried neti (nasal cleansing with saline water)? It’s brill for clearing nasal passages! Try doing it in the morning. Doesn’t take long, honestly, just a couple minutes and you’re done. But remember to keep the water warm and always sterilize equipment.

Herbal teas can be your friend too. Brew up tulsi (holy basil) tea, it’s soothing and can help open up your airways. Another herb called Yashtimadhu (we call it licorice here) is known for its soothing qualities on respiratory troubles. Best, talk to an ayurvedic doc about the right dosage and form for you tho.

And don’t forget the good ol’ steam inhalation. Just plain water is fine, or you can throw in some eucalyptus oil and inhale. It can really help with congestion.

If your condition gets severe, always better to see a doctor immediately. Be safe, take care of yourself, and I hope this gets you breathing easier. Let me know how it goes or if anything ain’t quite clear!
