Abstract

Allergic rhinitis is described in Ayurveda as pratishyaya roga. If we see the symptomatology of vataja pratishyaya in Ayurveda we find the same symptomatology of acute rhinitis. In modern’s acute rhinitis and allergic rhinitis we found the same symptoms in the beginning of disease. It is very difficult for modern people also to differentiate these two diseases in beginning. The difference is only that all the symptoms are of recurrent type or remains in whole of the year. So, Vataj Pratishyaya can be correlated to Allergic Rhinitis if it is of recurrent type This is mainly a Kapha disease. The symptoms of pratishyay are sneezing, itchy throat and ears, watering in eyes and nasal blockage. According to Ayurveda the proper digestion and elimination of food aids to immunity and prevents the problems like pratishyay. So many ayurvedic remides effectively act against pratishyay, Guduchyadi kwath is one of them which is used for this study. this study carried out on 15 diagnosed adult patients of allergic rhinitis.
