Allergic rhinitis affects millions worldwide and can significantly impact daily comfort and well-being. It is an allergic reaction causing symptoms like sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and itchy eyes due to exposure to allergens.
In India, recent studies estimate that up to 20% of the population suffers from allergic rhinitis, a figure growing with urban pollution and lifestyle changes. This blog will focus on the types of allergic rhinitis, its triggers, and natural management options including how homeopathy at Dr Batra’s® can help you breathe easy again. A study published in PubMed found that homeopathy significantly improved seasonal allergy symptoms and quality of life, with no side effects, compared to placebo.
Allergic Rhinitis: What You Need to Know
What Triggers It / Causes
Allergic rhinitis is triggered by exposure to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold, and pollution. Seasonal allergic rhinitis is common during the spring or fall when pollen counts are high. Perennial allergic rhinitis occurs year-round, often due to indoor allergens like dust and mold.
Types of Allergic Rhinitis
It is important to note that allergic rhinitis can manifest differently based on the triggers and the timing of symptoms
-
Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis (Hay fever)
This type of condition occurs during the specific seasons when pollen levels are high, causing runny noses, itchy eyes, and sneezing.
-
Perennial Allergic Rhinitis
Occurs year-round due to constant exposure to indoor allergens such as pet dander, dust mites, and mold.
-
Occupational Rhinitis
It is triggered by allergens present in the workplace, such as dust, chemicals, or animal proteins, which cause allergy symptoms during work hours.
Role of Genetics and Environment
Genetic predisposition plays a role. If the family members have allergies or asthma, you’re more likely to develop allergic rhinitis. Environmental factors like urban pollution, cigarette smoke, and climate change also worsen symptoms
