HELLO,

You are suffering from a chronic allergic airway disease, which includes two main problems -ALLERGIC RHINITS= inflammation of the nasal passage causing sneezing, runny nose, blockage -ASTHMA= inflammation and narrowing of the bronchial tubes causing breathlessness wheezing and cough

your immune system is overheating to harmless substances like dust, pollen, and cold air This is not an infection- it’s a hypersensitivity reaction

According to Ayurveda, your symptoms indicate -Kapha dosha aggravation= causes excess mucus, congestion, heaviness -Vata dosha aggravation= causes dryness, cough, breathlessness, and wheezing -Ama (toxin accumulation)= due to poor digestion and metabolism, it blocks the respiratory channels -Low Ojas (immunity)= making you sensitive to triggers throughout the year So, Ayurveda treats the root imbalance of Kapha + vata+ama not just the symtpoms

TREATMENT GOALS -remove ama (toxins) from the body -balance kapha and vata dosha -open the blocked channels - nose, lungs, sinuses -strengthen agni(digestive fire) to prevent toxin buildup -improve immunity (Ojas’s) to reduce allergy tendency -rejuvenate lungs and sinuses for long term relief

INTENRAL MEDICATIONS

1) TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with honey twice daily before meals =improves digestion, burns ama, reduces mucus

2) SHITOPALADI + TALISADI CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water twice daily after meals =reduces cough, clear phlegm, sneezing and throat irritation

3) GUDUCHI GHAN VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =immunomodulator, lower IgE , reduces allergy

4)HARIDRA KHANDA= 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk =anti allergic, anti inflammatory, improves skin and nasal immunity

5) MAHATIKTAKA KASHAYA= 15 ml + equal water twice daily before meals =cleanses toxins, reduces inflamamtion, in respiratory channels

6) SWASKUTHAR RAS= 1 tab twice daily after meals =strenghtens lungs, reduces wheezing

7) VASA AVALEHA= 1 tsp twice daily after meals =reduces cough and helps expectoration of mucus

DURATION= 3 months

AFTER 3 MONTHS START -BRAHMA RASYANA= 1 tsp daily after meals =rejuvenates immunity, and energy ,prevents recurrence

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) NASYA= after mild steam, instill 2 drops of Shadbindu taila in each nostril daily =it cleanses sinuses, strengthens nasal membranes , and prevents allergic rhinints

2) STEAM INHALATION= use hot water with a few leaves of tulsi or 1-2 drops of eucalyptus oil twice daily to clear mucus and open airways

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -wake up early do light breathing and stretching -take warm water frequently -keep home dust free use mask in cold/dust -maintain regular bowel movements -ensure 7-8 hrs of sound sleep

DON’TS -avoid day sleep increases kapha -avoid cold drinks, ice creams, curd, and refriegrated foods -avoid sudden exposure to cold air -avoid overeating, heavy oils food -avoid smoking, pollution, strong perfumes

DIET -warm,light, easily digestible meals -green gram old rice barley millets -warm soups, vegetables stews, herbal teas- ginger, tulsi, cinnamon -spices like cumin, turmeric, black pepper, ajwain,dry giger -Fruits= apples, pomegranate, guava (avoid citrus if allergic )

AVOID -cold,sour,and heavy foods- curd, banana, cheese, sweets, bakery -fermented foods and light eating -cold milk- if taking, make it warm and add turmeric

YOGA ASANAS- opens airways ad balances doshas -bhujangasana -dhanurasana -matsyasana -ardha matsyendrasana -setu bandhasana

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= improves nasal flow and oxygenation -bhastrika= clear mucus and improves lung power -bhramari= calms the nervous system and allergic reactivity -kapalbhati= cleanses sinuses

MEDITATION -reduces stress, which indirectly lowers allergic tendency

HOME REMEDIES -TULSI+HONEY + GINGER JUICE= 1 tsp mixture, 2-3 times daily =clears mucus, relieves cough, improves immunity

-TURMERIC MILK= at night= antiallergic, anti inflammatory

-STEAM WITH AJWAIN SEEDS= boil water with ajwain and inhale steam to reduce nasal cogestion

-WARM SALT WATER GARGLE= twice daily for throat mucus and irritation

-HONEY + BLACK PEPPER POWDER= 1/2 tsp daily to soothe throat and reduce sneezing

-Allergy is a long term imbalance, not a short disease- it requires patience ad consistent treatment -Ayurvedic therapy aims to reset your body’d immunity, not just suppress symptoms -Once kapha, vata, ad ama are balanced and digestion improves allergic responses will naturally decrease

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Hlo,

I can suggest Ayurvedic supportive remedies for allergies and asthma, but because asthma can worsen suddenly, you should also consult a physician immediately, especially if you have shortness of breath, wheezing, or chest tightness.

Ayurveda works best alongside conventional monitoring for asthma.

Here’s a structured approach: Ayurvedic Management for Allergic Rhinitis & Asthma

1. Internal Medicines These are commonly used in Ayurveda for Vata-Kapha related allergy/asthma:

- Talisadi Churna 1–2 g twice daily with honey or warm water Supports respiratory health, relieves congestion

- Sitopaladi Churna 1–2 g twice daily with warm milk Helps in cough and allergic throat irritation

- Vyaghri Haritaki (or Haridra + Haritaki + Amalaki) 3–5 g at night with warm water Mild detoxification, immune support

- Chyawanprash 1–2 tsp daily Boosts immunity, generally safe

2. Nasal Care (Pratimarsha Nasya / Nasal Drops) - Anu Taila or Shadbindu Taila: 2–4 drops in each nostril daily Helps reduce nasal congestion and allergic triggers.

3. Dietary Guidelines Avoid cold, oily, and fried foods, as well as ice cream, cold drinks, and heavy sweets. Include warm, easily digestible foods: rice, kichadi, cooked vegetables, soups. Drink warm turmeric milk or herbal teas (ginger, tulsi).

4. Lifestyle Measures Keep house dust-free (vacuum, wash bedding weekly). Avoid exposure to smoke, perfumes, and strong odors. Do breathing exercises (Pranayama): Anulom-Vilom (alternate nostril breathing), Bhramari (humming bee breath) — 5–10 minutes daily.

5. Important Warning Signs Seek urgent medical care if you notice: Difficulty breathing at rest Wheezing that doesn’t improve with usual inhalers Bluish lips/fingernails Rapid worsening of cough or chest tightness

💡 Note: Ayurvedic medicines can help reduce symptoms and improve immunity, but acute asthma attacks require modern medicine (like inhalers: bronchodilators or steroids). So, please see a doctor for an inhaler prescription, even if you continue Ayurveda.

Hello I hear you, dealing with ongoing allergic rhinitis, worsening asthma, and now an itchy mouth, especially when dust kicks it off, sounds really tough. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊

AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING

Your symptoms point to a long-term problem where Kapha and Vata are out of whack, and there’s some Ama hanging around.

In Ayurveda: –Allergic rhinitis is like Pratishyaya (a mix of Kapha and Vata issues). –Asthma is called Tamaka Shwasa. –Itchy mouth/throat suggests Kapha-Ama irritation with an allergic reaction.

PROBABLE CAUSES –Slow digestion (Mandagni) which leads to Ama (toxins). –Kapha building up in your breathing tubes (Pranavaha Srotas). –And, of course, being around dust for a long time.

You know how over-the-counter meds only calm things down for a bit? That’s because they don’t fix the real problem, which is why things keep coming back or getting worse.

AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PLAN

INTERNAL MEDICATION

1. Haridra Khanda One teaspoon, twice a day after meals, with warm water. (Great for allergies, itching, and sniffles.)

2. Sitopaladi Churna Half a teaspoon, twice a day with honey. (Helps with Kapha, makes breathing easier, and calms coughs and wheezing.)

3. Talisadi Churna Half a teaspoon, twice a day with honey.

4. Giloy Ghan Vati One tablet, twice a day after food. ( Boosts your immune system and lowers your tendency to get allergies.)

Nasal Treatment (Super important!)

Anu Taila or Shadbindu Taila – Nasya * Two drops in each nostril, once daily in the morning. * Clears out allergens and lessens rhinitis and asthma triggers.

DIET PLAN

✅INCLUDE

* Warm, freshly cooked meals. * Turmeric, ginger, black pepper in your food. * Sip warm water all day. * Honey (never heated).

❌AVOID

* Cold water and cold drinks. * Curd, ice cream, cheese. * Bananas at night. * Bakery items, junk food, packaged stuff. * Dust without a mask.

LIFESTYLE TIPS

* Wear a mask when dust is around. * Don’t sleep during the day. * Daily steam inhalation with just water or a bit of tulsi. * Gentle breathing exercises (pranayama), but don’t force it during an attack.

About That Itchy Mouth (Good to know)

– It’s pretty common for people with allergies. – It’ll get better as we get your Kapha-Ama straightened out. – For now, hold off on raw fruits, nuts, or cold foods if they make the itch worse.

SHODHANA (Cleanse) – A good idea if you can If your symptoms have been going on for more than 6 months:

Vamana(therapeutic throwing up) Or Virechana (a detox cleanse) Both under docter observations

These really cut down how often allergies come back and how much you rely on asthma meds.

Allergic rhinitis and asthma can totally be managed with Ayurveda once we fix your digestion, immune system, and get your Kapha back in balance from the ground up.

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate
