Allergic rhinitis

Allergic rhinitis, often called allergies or hay fever, occurs when your immune system overreacts to particles in the air that you breathe-you are allergic to them. Your immune system attacks the particles in your body, causing symptoms such as sneezing and a runny nose. The particles are called allergens, which simply means they can cause an allergic reaction.
People with allergies usually have symptoms for many years. You may have symptoms often during the year, or just at certain times. You also may get other problems such as sinusitis and ear infections as a result of your allergies.

 symptoms of allergic rhinitis

In most cases, when you have allergic rhinitis:
  • You sneeze again and again, especially after you wake up in the morning.
  • You have a runny nose and postnasal drip. The drainage from a runny nose caused by allergies is usually clear and thin. But it may become thicker and cloudy or yellowish if you get a nasal or sinus infection.
  • Your eyes are watery and itchy.
  • Your ears, nose, and throat are itchy.  

Allergic rhinitis according to Ayurveda


Hay fever is characterized by headache, itchy eyes and throat, runny nose with watery discharge and sneezing. Allergies are caused due to hypersensitivity of the nervous system. Ayurveda recommends the long-term boosting of your immunity system to find a permanent cure for this condition.
Some of the causes that trigger seasonal allergic rhinitis include indigestion, inhalation of smoke and dust, staying awake in the night, daytime sleeping, exposure to cold and chilly weather, increased sexual activity, not being in balance with the season, and the suppression of natural urges.
According to Ayurveda, ama (undigested toxins) and low immunity are the main cause of allergies. Ama can settle at the digestive level or in various tissues with different symptoms at each level. When improperly digested ama is carried through channels into the various tissues in the body, the resulting toxin accumulation imbalances the tissues. Ama toxicity aggravates pitta or kapha, and in each case, the symptoms may vary. In fact, you may be a kaphapitta or vata person, but an allergy when it occurs in any constitution, can throw up various symptoms.
Home Remedies
  • Prepare a decoction by boiling half a teaspoon of licorice (mulethi) root powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (kali mirch) powder, and 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger along with 8-10 basil (tulsi) leaves, in a cup of water. Reduce the liquid to a half. Add half a teaspoon of sugar and drink lukewarm in the mornings and evenings in place of tea/coffee.
  • Boil half a teaspoon of freshly grated ginger in milk. Add one-fourth teaspoon of turmeric (haldi) powder. Take 2-3 times a day. Turmeric is a natural immune booster.
  • Mix half a teaspoon of Indian gooseberry (amla) fruit powder with 1 teaspoon honey. Take twice a day.
  • tulsi decoction: 1.5 cup water, 1 tea spoon jaggery, 10-12 leaves of tulsi, 1 pinch of dry ginger powder. boil it & take once a day.
treatment:
Allergies can also be treated through shaman (pacification) treatment in the form of medicines where kaphapacifying herbs are used. Herbs that can pacify kapha include mulethi, vasa, pushkar mul and kantakari. Powders like talishadi churna, sitopladi churna, lakshmivilas ras tablets and vyoshadi guggulu are surefire medications to pacify kapha
