Best Ayurvedic Treatment for Allergic Rhinitis

Allergic Rhinitis

Allergic Rhinitis from the point of view of Ayurveda

Allergic rhinitis is the result of over reaction of the immune system to outdoor or indoor allergens. Allergic rhinitis is the body’s way to protect itself from the allergen.

Allergic rhinitis exhibits typical signs and symptoms of a cold, but unlike a cold, it is not caused by any virus.

Mostly it is seasonal, coinciding with the flowering season which witnesses more pollen in the air. Other allergens like grass pollen, animal dander (old skin), dust mites, mould and cat saliva can also be the cause.

Symptoms may include a stuffy nose, cough, sore throat, frequent headaches, dark circles under eyes, excessive fatigue, hives and eczema. These are the classic symptoms of hay fever or allergic rhinitis, a type of inflammation in the nose. Generally people have one or more symptoms immediately after exposure to the allergen.

Allergic rhinitis can be of two types, seasonal and chronic:

Seasonal rhinitis mostly happens in the Spring and Autumn, caused by outdoor allergens.

Chronic Rhinitis can occur anytime during the year and is mostly caused by indoor substances like house paints, sprays, or dust mites. Few other factors like temperature fluctuations, sudden onset of cold, humidity, exposure to cigarette smoke, hairspray, perfumes, colognes, wood/coal smoke or fumes trigger or worsen allergic rhinitis.
