Allergic rhinitis herbal remedy | Septilin for immunity

Allergic rhinitis refers to a host of symptoms that occur due to overreaction of the immune system to particles in the air. It is also known as hay fever or allergies and the symptoms are similar to the common cold. Symptoms include constant sneezing attacks, a runny nose, watery, itchy eyes and itchiness in the ear, nose and throat.

Allergic rhinitis can be caused by pollens, chemicals, dust, dander, mold and animals. They can occur throughout the year or just at certain times.

A herbal formulation called Septilin has been found in clinical studies to be very useful in allergic and vasomotor rhinitis as it helps to cope with allergens. Septilin works by strengthening the body's immune system and making it resistant to infections. Septilin is composed of herbs such as Guggul, Tinospora cordifolia, Rubia cordifolia, Emblica officinalis, Moringa pterygosperma, Glycyrrhiza glabra and powerful ayurvedic herbal formulations like Maharasnadi quath.

The following study was published in the Auris Nasus Larynx. 50 patients of allergic and vasomotor rhinitis were included in the study. Seventeen patients gave history of stress and strain hence they were given Geriforte in addition to Septilin. The results of therapy were judged on following criteria: i) Symptomatic improvement. ii) Appearance of nasal mucosa before and after the therapy. Thirty-nine patients (78%) were cured 100% as they had total relief from symptoms along with change of nasal mucosa from bluish to pink. Eight patients (16%) had about 75% improvement and 3 patients (6%) had only 50% improvement. These patients were advised to continue the therapy for a longer time (6-8 weeks). Of these, 4 patients showed further improvement. In our opinion, Septilin has proved very useful in cases of allergic and vasomotor rhinitis. The patients who have history of stress and strain may also need Geriforte in addition to Septilin.
