Symptoms & Causes

Causes of Allergic Rhinitis

The bout of allergic rhinitis (nasal allergy) can be triggered by a number of allergens. Allergens are substances that can induce an ‘allergic reaction’ in the body.

These are some common allergens in cases of allergic rhinitis (nasal allergy):

  • Pollen
  • Dust, Wood Dust
  • Outdoor Moulds
  • House Dust Mites
  • Exposure to certain animals (including pets)
  • Cockroaches, Rodents
  • Smoke, pollution, and strong smells, some chemical exposure.

When a susceptible person is exposed to any of the allergen, the body releases certain chemicals which include ‘histamine’. This in turn is responsible for allergy symptoms such as itchy feeling, swelling, and mucus production.

Certain other factors those are responsible in the development of Allergic Rhinitis (nasal allergy):

Weather: Hot, dry, windy days are more likely to trigger an allergy attack as compared to cool, damp, rainy days.

Genetics:: Heredity seems to play an important role in allergic diseases.

More over the triggers of an attack may vary from person to person and the patient himself has to figure out which of these causative factors precipitates the episodes in him.

Treatment

Conventional Treatment Why Homeopathy
Antihistamines:

They are drugs that block the histamine reaction.

They are divided into:
• Sedating • Non- Sedating antihistamines.

Sedating antihistamines can impair driving and the use of heavy equipment.

Decongestants:

These temporarily reduce swelling of nasal tissues leading to an improvement of breathing.

Common side effects include:
• Raised heart rate • blood pressure.

Combinations:

They are usually a combination of an antihistamine and a decongestant.

Allergy Shots (Immunotherapy):

Small amounts of the offending allergen are injected with the intention of developing antibodies against it. Based on the same principle of immunization.

Steroid nasal sprays:

They reduce allergic inflammation within the nasal cavity and not recommended for prolonged use.

Decongestant sprays:

They quickly reduce swelling of nasal tissues by shrinking the blood vessels.

You can become highly addictive and over time (three to five days), cause inflammation in the nasal passages and worsen rhinitis.

The root cause of your problem is lack of an appropriate response to allergens to which your body is susceptible.

Homeopathy treatment boosts your immune response against allergens. As a result you will become less prone to frequent colds, rhinitis or seasonal allergies and overtime could develop resistance to the responsible allergen.

Most of our patients experience more than 75 % reduction in the intensity and frequency of their ailment after a period of 3-6 months of treatment. Associated nasal polyps or enlarged nasal turbinate, seen in individuals with deviated nasal septum, can also be reduced and the nasal passages can once again reclaim normalcy, without the need for surgery.

It must be noted that even during the period of treatment, patient may continue to get attacks of the allergic rhinitis (nasal allergy); however these episodes are less severe and last shorter as compared to attacks before commencing treatment.

Patient gradually notices an overall improvement in the general health as the treatment progresses. Even in chronic cases of a long standing nature, Homeopathy has significant help to offer in terms of prevention of the complications.
