Hello Yes Anu Tailam is a safe and works well for kids with allergic rhinitis if you use it right. Sounds like your kid’s sneezing, stuffy nose, runny nose, itching, and constant sniffles mean there’s too much Kapha + Vata messing with their Pranavaha Srotas (nose and breathing pipes). AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING Allergic rhinitis? That’s Pratishyaya It happens because: Too much Kapha = mucus, all that congestion Vata’s out of whack = sneezing, dryness, and feeling irritated Weak defenses in the nose and sinuses Anu Tailam helps by: –Getting the nasal passages nice and slick –Clearing out that sticky Kapha –Boosting local defenses –Stopping allergens from getting in deep What’s Anu Tailam all about? It’s a classic Nasya oil that’s good for: –Allergic rhinitis –Sinus issues –Non-stop colds –Nose jams –Keeping the breathing stuff strong It’s safe for kids if you don’t overdo it. How to Give Anu Tailam to Your 7-Year-Old How Often? Once a day, in the morning. How Much? Just 1 drop in each nostril. (Seriously, don’t give more than that to a kid!) The Steps –Warm up the bottle a bit in some hot water. –Have your child lie down with their head tilted back a little. –Put 1 drop in each nostril. –Tell them to sniff gently. –Keep them still for a minute. If any mucus comes out, wipe it away – don’t hold it back. How Long? 30 days Then, see how things are going. Extra Help (Not required, but good) If the symptoms are bad: 1.Sitopaladi Churna ½ tsp twice a day with honey 2.Haridra Khanda ½ tsp before bed with warm milk These tackle allergies at the source. DIET PLAN Avoid –Cold milk – Ice cream – Curd at night. – Chocolates – Bakery stuff INCLUDE – Warm soups – Turmeric milk – Steamed veggies – Tulsi tea When Will Things Get Better? –Sneezing eases up in about a week or so –Blockage chills out in 2–3 weeks –Allergy attacks get less bad within a month Anu Tailam doesn’t just mask allergies; it strengthens the nose’s defenses, so your kid gets less sensitive over time. You’re picking a safe, long-term fix. Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate
