Rhinitis is a condition in which the soft and sensitive membrane becomes inflamed andit is characterized by headache, itchy eyes and throat, runny nose with watery discharge and sneezing. Rhinitis is of three different types: acute, chronic and allergic. Viral and bacterial infections, dust, pollen, fumes, spices and certain environmental factors are some commonly known triggers of Rhinitis.
In Ayurveda, such allergies are thought of being caused due to hypersensitivity of the nervous system. Allergic Rhinitis treatment in Ayurveda is personalized according to every patient’s body type, and hence it is effective. From an Ayurvedic perspective, it is caused due to ama (toxins) present in the body and due to low immunity. Accumulated ama aggravates the levels of Kapha (Water) in the body, giving rise to different symptoms of allergies.
