ShareWhat is Nasal Allergy?
An allergy refers to the hyper reaction of our body’s immune system to any strange substance that enters the body. The substances that cause allergy are called Allergens. It includes pollen grains, molds, dust, mites, feathered animals, pests like cockroaches or rodents. A human body responds with varied symptoms when the allergens come in contact with the nasal tissue. This condition is called Nasal Allergy.
Ayurveda has successfully measures in treating Nasal allergies. There are specialized cells in our body called Mast cells which release histamine and other chemicals when the body identifies allergens. The nasal tissues get irritated by the presence of these chemicals and show symptoms of nasal allergy. Ayurveda is the only measure for a successful and natural treatment for allergies.
Causes of Nasal Allergy
Ayurveda mentions strong odour, sun rays, insertion of thread or grass into nose etc. as the causative factors of nasal allergy. The above mentioned causes leads to Vata dosha blockage by Kapha dosha at Shringataka marma (vital point between the blood vessels that supply nose, ears, eyes, and tongue). Thus, the normal movement of Vata gets hampered and retrograde movement of vata will cause severe sneezing.
Symptoms of Nasal Allergy
- Runny nose with clear and watery discharge
- Pain and swelling of sinus
- Postnasal drip (Increased mucus drainage down the throat)
- Sneezing
- Itching of nose, ears, eyes and throat
- Nasal congestion
- Coughing
- Headache
- Red and watery eyes
- Sore throat
Ayurveda emphasizes sneezing as the major symptom of Nasal allergies. Allergic Rhinitis is the most common disease under Nasal Allergies, manifested by severe and continuous sneezing and runny nose. It mostly affects people around the age of 15 years and usually subsides by 40 years. People with Allergic Rhinitis show specific signs like ‘Allergic salute’ (frequent rubbing of the nose with palm). The unique diagnosis method used by Dr. Gupta helps in the complete understanding of the pathology which helps in designing the appropriate treatment.
