How to treat nasal congestion?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 43-year-old male with a height of 5.48 feet and a weight of 174.16 pounds. I have been having nasal congestion for 10 days now and have taken Niacin and Kasahara syrup for the past four days, but there has been no improvement before I tried Allopathy. Please suggest if the medication that I am taking is fine and should continue, or else suggest alternate medicine.

Kindly help.

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The medicines you are taking are mostly for cough and not for nasal congestion.

I suggest,

Haridra Khanda (Haridra, Triphala, Trikatu, Nisoth, Nagar Motha, Ajowan, Kutki, Chitrak, Ela, Dalchini, Jirak, Dhania, Ajamoda, sugar, etc. with Lauha Abhrak Bhasma) one teaspoon mixed with one teaspoon honey, taken a day after food thrice.
Anu Thailam (Cedrus deodara, Cyperus rotundus, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Lotus, Solanum indicium, sesame oil, cinnamon, and goat milk) two drops in each nostril, twice a day. When you put this nasal drop, it may come to your throat; in this case, spit it out. If you swallow it mistakenly, it is fine as it is harmless.
Mahalaxmi Vilas Ras (nutmeg, camphor, Swarna bhasma, Rajat bhasma, Vang bhasma, Abhrak bhasma, Shuddha Gandhak, Kajjali, Tamra bhasma) one tablet daily after food.

These medicines are available in Ayurvedic stores.

Thank you.

I understand your concern.

I suggest you take Anu Thailam in the morning and evening around 8.00 AM and 8.00 PM. These products are easily available at stores and marketed by many renowned companies. You may choose any. Continue until the symptom reduces fully. You will start to note results in two or three days.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Please take medicines with faith in the doctor. Otherwise, medicines will be ineffective.

Haridra Khanda reduces pitta and vata, which causes a non-productive cough. If I give you cough medicines, I will be as good as the shopkeeper. The difference between an Ayurvedic doctor and others is that we diagnose based on the doshas. And based on the region of origin and the dosha, we select medicines. For example, in your case, it is the upper respiratory tract where vata and pitta are vitiated. So Haridra Khanda was selected for you. Concerning your blood pressure (BP), control your stress levels first. I suggest you take tablet Brahmi (Bacopa monieri) one tablet twice daily before food. This manages both your blood pressure and stress levels.

Thank you.
