It occurs when an allergen such as pollen or dust is inhaled by an individual .Any other allergic factor may affect different people like perfume, smelling a rose, eating ice-creams or roaming in sun. The allergic triggers differ from person to person. Other causes may be Nasal Polyp(Mucous swellings),Deviated nasal septum or Excessive sensitivity to cold breeze or cold things.

Few Tips:
  • During the peak allergic weather use facemask while moving outdoors.
  • Minimise your early morning activity (between 5 and 10 a.m.) when pollen counts are higher.
  • Keep windows closed to prevent pollens and molds from drifting into your home. Air-conditioning can also help reduce your pollen exposure

Homoeopathy believes in innate tendencies. These triggers are mere external. But there is some internal derangement because of which the person gets susceptible to these external influences. This lack of optimum immunity is tackled by homeopathic medicines and that’s the reason why homeopathy is extremely successful in permanently providing solution to allergic rhinitis and sinusitis alike.
