What is rhinitis?

Rhinitis is known as a reaction that causes nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and itching. Inflammation is the most common cause of rhinitis.

Types of rhinitis

There are two types of rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, and non-allergic rhinitis.

An allergic reaction to a substance such as pollen causes inflammation in allergic rhinitis.

Non-allergic rhinitis can be triggered by a variety of things, including hormonal changes, environmental conditions, or a viral infection like a cold.

What causes rhinitis?

Seasonal or perennial airborne allergens can trigger allergic rhinitis. Pollen is a seasonal allergen, whereas perennial allergies are year-round things like animal dander or dust.

• Bromelain: It is an enzyme found in pineapple and papaya. It can help reduce swelling and improve breathing for patients with allergic rhinitis.

What is the most effective way to treat rhinitis?

For respiratory problems, such as rhinitis, homeopathy is the most effective treatment. The goal of homeopathy treatment for allergic rhinitis is to strengthen the immune system, which helps to reduce allergen sensitivities. Patients who take homeopathic medicine for rhinitis are known to react less violently to allergens in the long run.

Rhinitis treatment with homeopathy

Most conventional treatment methods for rhinitis focus only on symptom relief and can have negative side effects such as headaches, sinus pain, a sore throat, vomiting, a dry mouth, and drowsiness.

Unlike conventional treatments, homeopathic treatments for rhinitis do not cause addiction. Homeopathy is a safe, natural, and side-effect-free treatment for rhinitis. According to Karger's research, homeopathic rhinitis treatment can effectively relieve the symptoms of rhinitis and treats the underlying cause of the condition, and provide long-term treatment.

According to a study by The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (TJACM), 25% of rhinitis cases have shown positive effects from homeopathic allergic rhinitis treatment. Homeopathy works wonders in treating rhinitis because it has a curative approach rather than a suppressive approach.
