What Is The Treatment For Allergic Rhinitis?
Hi! I have been suffering from perennial allergic rhinitis for the past 25 years. Controlled only by cetrizine which I have to take almost every 2 days. I am an otherwise healthy 33 year old woman. Planning to take ayurvedic medicine to cure my rhinitis problem.

1. Since you are getting repeated attacks of cold, thus are usually allergic and/or with decreased Immunity, thus prevention of recurrent attacks is the main aim of treatment.
2. As attacks are frequent take high protein diet : egg (white), soyamilk, pumpkin, squash, watermelon, peanuts, almonds, if non-vegetarian (meat) are choices , legumes, sprouted pulses/cereals, milk with protein powder [since blockage of nose is an issue thus yogurt and beans are not recommended] and deep breathing Exercises [anulom vilom]
3. take vegetable soup, which help thin mucus, and promote nasal drainage.
4. do not consume caffeine containing beverages, as they lead to dehydration and resulting nasal blockage
5. Pratimarsh nasya [errhine therapy] can be practiced without any complication
6. Prescription medicines for you are: syrup septilin, chitrak haritki, nardiya lakshmi vilas ras, vyoshadi vati, sitopladi churan, shadbindu tail, cephagraine nasal drops
