Nasal Allergy/ Allergic Rhinitis Remedy

We can effectively manage this malady using food/herbs, until we find a way to rectify our genes,
sometime in next few decades. The allergy is due to the reaction of our immune system to the
deteriorated air quality which is a trigger to the inherent genetic susceptibility…

The particles in air remain suspended for a long time in elevated places like hills station/ Bengaluru
and the dis-‘ease’ is observable in those who shift there.

Symptoms:

 Continuous sneezing 20-40 times after waking up and also in the evening.
 Running nose, red eyes with irritation, blocked feeling in the head. Blood test can show
increased Eosinophilia count.
 Frequent Cold attacks with subsequent secondary bacterial infection about a dozen times a
year.

Relief that one may enjoy with this remedy:

1. Sneezing normal, 1-2 a day.

2. Increased ability to smell (better than normal people), clear nasal passage, clear throat, normal eyes.
3. Greater immunity, cold attacks just 1-2 a year.

Natural Remedy

"Let Food be your medicine" - Hippocrates (Father of Medicine).

Presently there are only two approaches to manage this malady. I have tried much and the natural
method works better than others.

1. Improving your whole system as suggested by our learned ancients and documented in Ayurveda.
2. Taking doses of anti histamines and/or nasal inhalers and sprays that are prescribed by the
Physician.

Since I have found the natural approach giving all round benefits also, give a sincere try. This "Food"
helps to cleanse your system and fight back. Moreover, increased intake of Natural Vitamin C guards
against Cancer and Heart ailments...

Ingredients:

Please ensure Good Quality. Preferably, use herbs that are processed as pounded or slowly ground.
These are available at local grocer/ country drug store/herbal store (online too).

1. Gooseberry Powder (Emblica officinalis): 200 grams.

2. Dry Ginger powder (Zingiber officinale): 100 grams.
3. Turmeric powder (Curcuma longa): 100 grams.
4. Cumin powder (Cuminum cyminum): 100 grams.
5. Triphala Powder: 100 grams

Optional- Pepper- 60 nos, Cloves-40 nos, Cinnamon- two 4"X 1/2". Powder well and add to the above
mixture.

It is recommended to dry these in sun so as to store long. Mix well and store in a dry jar. Use dry
spoon only.

Dosage: Half to One level teaspoon mixed with 1 cup water and Honey

Morning: First thing to be taken in.

Evening: Repeat at 5:30 PM or after dinner.

Good results can be felt by 15 days. Treat this as "Food Supplement" and consume as long as you
breathe polluted air.

For best results, soaked Fenugreek (Trigonella foenumgraecum) seeds and solution can be consumed.

Add one level teaspoon of Fenugreek in one cup of boiling water in the morning. Switch off
and leave it for 8-10 hrs. After dinner, add the evening dose powder to the soaked Fenugreek
(retain the liquid), honey and drink your good health.

How these work:

 Gooseberry provides natural Vit C among other nutrients…

 Ginger powder is adaptogenic and makes our constitution warmer...
 Turmeric helps eliminate toxins and regulate the phlegm. Eases inflammation of joints and
mucus lining.
 Cumin is anti allergenic and digestive.
 Triphala is a general tonic and helps balance the doshas.
 Honey is formed from flower/pollen and highly recommended as it immunizes us to allergy
due to pollen, especially the unfiltered honey. Helps prevent sore throat.
 Fenugreek regulates secretion of all body fluids to an optimum extent. It is the natural
expectorant and very useful for those having phlegmatic constitution. Like others above, it is
an anti-aging herb.

Note: Avoid Dairy Products except organic Yogurt. Rest of the dairy products esp. the milk protein
Casein increases the phlegm in the respiratory tract causing congestion.

Those who think this takes a lot of preparation and can afford, may buy the ready made preparations
such as Pankaj Kasturi, which contains many more herbs.
