Ayurvedic Treatment for Allergic Rhinitis/Sinusitis

Allergic Rhinitis/Sinusitis

Allergic rhinitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the nasal membrane. According to Ayurveda, allergic rhinitis correlates with the Vata and Kaphaja types of Pratishyaya. When the body encounters a specific allergen, the Doshas (vata or kapha) become imbalanced, and undigested toxins (ama) start to accumulate in various tissues (vimarga gamana). This obstructs the channels (sanga) and leads to Pratishyaya, or allergic rhinitis.
