What folk remedies are used to treat allergic rhinitis

Now that spring is coming, people's allergic rhinitis frequently worsens, because spring is the time when everything comes back to life. At this time, colds, dust in the air, and flying catkins can all lead to the occurrence of allergic rhinitis. In the short period of time when allergic rhinitis worsens, you should first wash your nose with salt water and massage it regularly to promote local blood circulation. You can use sesame oil or garlic to apply to the nose to unclog the nose and relieve runny nose.

Home remedy 1: Wash your nose with salt water. Prepare 2 tablespoons of salt and mix it with 100 ml of water. Then use cotton wool to dip an appropriate amount of saline solution and place it in the nostrils, while slightly raising your head or lying flat. Use your index finger and thumb to press both sides of your nose at the same time. Then slowly suck the salt water through your nose, and then the salt water will flow from the nasal cavity into the throat. When cleaning, do it once in the morning and once in the evening, the symptoms of allergic rhinitis will be significantly improved.

Home remedy 2: Nose massage. Before massage, clean your nostrils with cold water. Inhale slowly to allow the cold water to fully clean the nasal mucosa, and then exhale the cold water inhaled into the nose. Repeat for 1 to 3 minutes and then the cleaning is complete. Then, use the middle fingers of both hands to massage the nose wings on both sides, about 20 times. As long as this method is adhered to for a long time, it can effectively treat allergic rhinitis.

Home remedy three: Apply garlic to the nose. Wash the garlic, drain and mash it. Wrap the mashed garlic with dry gauze and squeeze out the garlic juice. Drop the garlic juice into your nostrils, 2 drops each time. Next, press the sides of your nose with your hands to help the nostrils be evenly covered with the garlic juice. For people with mild rhinitis symptoms, they can be cured after one treatment. If the rhinitis symptoms are more severe, it needs to be done twice. In addition, people who are sensitive to garlic should not use this method to treat rhinitis.

Folk remedy four: drop sesame oil. Allergic rhinitis can also be treated by dripping ordinary food sesame oil into the nostrils. Note that during the treatment, you should wash your nose first. It is appropriate to drop about 5 drops each time, and 3 to 5 times a day. In addition, if you have severe nasal congestion and difficulty breathing, you should not drip sesame oil. Wait until your nose is unblocked before dripping it.
