Rhinagra - #5561

Anonymous

My father, who is 65, was recently diagnosed with rhinagra. His main symptom is a lot of nasal discharge, and he complains about a blocked nose almost every morning. It’s been affecting his sleep and daily routine. I’ve been reading about rhinagra and think Ayurveda might offer better solutions than the usual medicines. What are the best Ayurvedic treatments for rhinagra? Are there specific herbs or therapies that work well for rhinagra? I came across suggestions like nasya therapy for rhinagra but don’t know if it’s the right fit for him. Should we combine dietary changes with treatments for rhinagra? Also, does rhinagra usually worsen with age? He’s worried about it turning into something more serious. How does Ayurveda view rhinagra in terms of its causes and management? If anyone has experience dealing with rhinagra in Ayurveda, please share your tips.

Doctors’ responses

In Ayurveda, rhinagra is often linked to an imbalance in the Kapha dosha, which can lead to excessive mucus production and nasal congestion. Nasya therapy, which involves the administration of medicated oils through the nostrils, is one of the most effective treatments for rhinagra. It helps clear the nasal passages, reduce inflammation, and balance the excess mucus. Herbs like Tulsi, Vasaka, and Kantakari are often used to treat respiratory issues and can support the body in reducing mucus production. Dietary changes are also crucial—avoiding heavy, cold, or greasy foods and focusing on warm, light, and easily digestible meals can help manage symptoms. Regular steam inhalation with herbs like eucalyptus or ginger can also be beneficial. While rhinagra might worsen with age due to the weakening of the body's immunity and digestion, Ayurvedic treatments aim to manage and reduce symptoms effectively. It's important to be consistent with treatments, as Ayurvedic solutions work holistically over time. Consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance would be a good step for your father.
