Abstract:
Allergic rhinitis is one of the most common and most prevalent
ailment, familiar to all with an equal distribution more or less
through out the world, rather without any exception to the
developed and under developed countries. Bronchial asthma is the
main complication of allergic rhinitis because patients of nasal
allergy have four times more risk of developing bronchial
asthma. In modern medical system a wide range of antibiotics and
decongestants is
available, but these drugs give only symptomatic relief. So it
is need of hour to develop a treatment protocol, which helps the
patients to overcome this pathetic condition hence this problem
was selected for the study taking all these points into
consideration. In this present study Pippalyadi taila
for Nasya therapy and Haridra khanda as oral
drug was selected. Total 32 patients were registered and
randomly divided into two groups. In group A Haridra khanda
and in group B Pippalyadi taila Nasya along with
Haridra khanda were given for 2 months. The effect of
therapy in both groups was assessed by a specially prepared
proforma. In both the groups an apparent difference in all the
signs and symptoms was observed. In oral group and combined
group maximum number of patients i.e., 45.45% and 53.33%
respectively showed marked improvement.
