How Can Allergic Rhinitis Be Treated Using Natural Home Remedies?

I tend to get respiratory problems after flu in the winter but seems to have developed into rhinitis all through the year. I hate taking a spray which includes steroids, how can I resolve this problem naturally? Please keep this confidential not showing my name. Thank you

Hello,

Rhinitis is a very common problem nowadays. There are many reasons for it. It may be caused due to some specific allergens, for example, dust, smoke, pollen grains etcetera or some specific food or medicine. So keep an eye on your symptoms and avoid the causative allergens. Secondly, it may be due to poor immunity. Next, it may be due to narrow nasal passage occurred due to DNS or polyp. So get examined by your doctor and get confirmed.

Keep yourself hydrated always, drink ginger and basil tea to get relief from your symptoms, have a glass of lukewarm water with half a tsp of turmeric and gooseberry powder daily on empty stomach, this strengthens your respiratory system. Take a steam bath with eucalyptus or peppermint oil infused in hot water. Enhance your immunity, by doing yoga and breathing practices. Eat lots of vitamin c, example gooseberry, lemons, oranges, they can enhance your immunity. Put a drop of cows ghee in each nostril before going out and at bedtime, it will help to moisturize your nasal cavity and lessen irritation, caused due to dust and other allergens. Do not eat junk foods. Eat healthy and in small amounts. Do not stuff your stomach. These options will help in improving your digestion and overall health.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
