🌬️ Allergic Rhinitis

Specialized and Customized Ayurvedic Approaches with Ahara Vihara and Vamana
At Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital

📘 Introduction

Allergic Rhinitis, referred to as Pratishyaya in Ayurveda, is a chronic inflammatory condition of the nasal mucosa triggered by allergens such as dust, pollen, mold, or pet dander.
At Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital, we provide specialized and customized Ayurvedic treatments, including Ahara Vihara (diet and lifestyle guidance) and Vamana (therapeutic emesis) to address the root cause and promote long-term nasal and respiratory health.

🧠 Understanding Allergic Rhinitis

Allergic Rhinitis involves an overactive immune response to allergens, leading to nasal inflammation, sneezing, congestion, and irritation, which may persist if not properly managed.

🌿 Ayurvedic Perspective

In Ayurveda, Pratishyaya is mainly caused by:

  • Kapha Prakopa (Aggravated Kapha): Leads to mucus buildup, nasal congestion, and frequent sneezing

  • Vata Prakopa (Aggravated Vata): Triggers dryness, irritation, and recurrent headaches

  • Ama (Toxins from Improper Digestion): Creates hypersensitivity and inflammation

The affected channels are:

  • Nasa (Nasal passages)

  • Pranavaha Srotas (Respiratory tract)

⚠️ Signs and Symptoms

  • Sneezing and nasal discharge

  • Nasal blockage or congestion

  • Itching of the nose, eyes, and throat

  • Watery eyes

  • Headache

  • Fatigue and brain fog

🧘 Ayurvedic Approach at Yogakshema

Our tailored Ayurvedic treatment focuses on:

  • Balancing Kapha and Vata Doshas

  • Eliminating Ama (toxins)

  • Opening blocked nasal channels

  • Performing Vamana (when indicated) to expel deep-seated Kapha

  • Supporting long-term health through Ahara Vihara

🔑 Key Ayurvedic Therapeutic Interventions

  • Nasya (Nasal Therapy): Medicated oil or herbal drops to cleanse and soothe the nasal cavity

  • Dhumapana (Herbal Fume Inhalation): Clears congestion and strengthens nasal passages

  • Pratimarsha Nasya (Daily Oil Instillation): Prevents recurrence

  • Swedana (Herbal Steam Therapy): Loosens mucus and improves drainage

  • Vamana (Therapeutic Emesis): Administered under guidance in chronic cases with excess Kapha

  • Herbal Medicines: Trikatu, Pippali, Haridra (Turmeric), and formulations for respiratory support

🍽 Ayurvedic Ahara Vihara (Diet & Lifestyle) Recommendations

Diet (Ahara):

  • Favor warm, light, and easily digestible meals

  • Include spices such as ginger, black pepper, turmeric

  • Drink warm herbal teas and soups

  • Avoid cold, oily, heavy foods

  • Limit dairy, curd, sweets, and wheat-based items

  • Moderate intake of pungent and bitter foods to balance Kapha

Lifestyle (Vihara):

  • Follow a consistent daily routine

  • Practice gentle breathing exercises (Pranayama) and steam inhalation

  • Avoid allergens and cold/damp environments

  • Do not sleep during the daytime, which aggravates Kapha

  • Manage stress with meditation and relaxation techniques

  • Ensure adequate sleep and rest
