Ayurvedic care for sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes and skin allergy caused by dust
Allergy to Dust
Dust allergy is a reaction of the body to tiny particles in dust - mostly dust mites, but also pollen, mould and pet dander. It commonly causes repeated sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, watery and itchy eyes, and in some people itchy skin or rashes. Symptoms are often worse in the morning, while cleaning, or in certain seasons.
In Ayurveda, the nasal symptoms are related to Pratishyaya and the skin reactions to Sheetapitta. Treatment aims to reduce your sensitivity, ease the symptoms and strengthen your body's resistance.
Common Symptoms
Bouts of sneezing, especially in the morning or around dust.
Watery discharge, a stuffy nose and post-nasal drip.
Red, itchy and watery eyes along with nasal symptoms.
Some people develop itching, rashes or hives after dust exposure.
A tickly throat and dry cough, often at night.
Ongoing symptoms disturb sleep and cause daytime fatigue.
Your plan depends on your symptoms, how long you have had them and your general health. It may include:
Please note: if you have wheezing, chest tightness or difficulty breathing, see a doctor promptly - these may be signs of asthma.
Medicines and therapies are prescribed only after a consultation. Please do not start any herb or medicine on your own.
FAQ
Allergies tend to be long-term, but symptoms can often be reduced a great deal with treatment and good dust control.
Dust mites live in bedding, pillows and mattresses, so exposure is highest overnight and in the morning.
Do not stop any prescribed medicine on your own. Tell the doctor what you take and they will advise you.
