Just as the title says, anyone found anything which helps or cures rhinitus that is natural or herbal? Hoping someone can suggest something? thanks in advance.
Hi Mike
I can only repeat my treatment for allergy problems. I have found Evening Primrose Oil to be the most effective treatment for hay fever, rhinitis, and allergic sinusitis.
Simply take one 1000mg capsule each day and see the results. Evening Primrose Oil works in about 4hours and it is effective for a further 24 hours, so one capsule daily is usually sufficient.
Try this treatment for two weeks and see the results.
Kind regards, Ray.
I've suffered this condition for years and tried everything out there to no aval. This problem now causes my eustachian tube dyfunction where I make a lot of mucus that gets stuck in the tube and that's far worse than
the rhinitis itself, which causes a blcoked nose....such awful conditions. Have you tried using a sinus nasal rinse every day. I'm in England and I buy NeilMed Sinus Nasal Rinse.. Also try and build up your immune system and in all health shops you'll find something, a good gut bacteria is good to take too....all of which I do. Sadly, I have to use Flixonse Aqueous Steroid Nasal spray and when it gets really bad Flixonase Nasules....these work well and definitely for Rhinitis. I also take Turmeric that's supposed to be good for inflammation. Have you been told that yours is allergic rhinitus. Mine is and I suffer many allergies, so have to take a daily antihistamine. Yep ! I must rattle, but try and do as much as I can to try and help myself without having to keep bothering my doctor. However, I see my ENT consultant twice yearly for the ETD.
Good luck
Anne
Hi Dear, i am from India and i would suggest you to buy the following nazal drop, this is the only nazal drop which is not having any side effects and better than any other alopathis nasal drops, name is Cephagraine drops by charak pharmacy, i hope u will get it on also try to use anti allegic or immunity buil-up medicines like Immunity by company. then u will get relief for long term or may be permanently , depending upon if u take medicine regularly for minimum 3 to 4 months, 2 capsules in morning, 2 in night. for 3 months. i am getting relief by this medicine only for long term relief. also, 2 drops of this cephagraine nasal drops when ur nose is blocked. it is all natural . problem with antihistamine drops is that u can not use iot for more than 10-15 days continously.it may cause nose hair damage and subsequently other breathing problems in longteerm.

Raymond,
What specific symptoms is the Evening Primrose Oil helping?

Pete
Hi Pete Dam
In answer to your enquiry regarding specific treatment for Evening Primrose Oil.
Evening Primrose Oil desensitises the nervous system, so that it does not react to normal irritants that cause hay fever, rhinitis and allergic sinusitis.
It simply reduces the body's reaction to things that normally cause problems. It is not a drug, so it does not affect mental capacity or cause adverse side affects.
After spending a lifetime on specific treatments for this problem, I found this miraculous cure for my chronic sinusitis.
It is a very inexpensive treatment for a very troublesome problem.
Regards Ray.
Ray,
What dose are you taking? Thanks
Hi PeteDam
I find that Evening Primrose Oil works in about 4hours, and lasts for a further 24 hours, so one 1000mg capsule each day is normally adequate.
These capsules are readily available in good supermarkets
Kind regards Ray.
Hi Ray, Maybe we should all try the CISCA Salt Pipe. It's recommended for : Asthma, Allergies, Hayfever, Coughing, Sunus problems, Breathing problems, and Bronchitis.
Google it and see for yourself. Or just put into Search Engine Cisca Salt Pipe. The site that came up for me a woman was demonstrating it. Quite cheap too with no postage and packing added. I'll definitely be purchasing one. If it doesn't hel with my ETD it sounds as though it will help everything else. It's my sinus issues and allergies that caused me to produce too much mucus which in turn gets into my eustachia tubes, causing the dysfunction.
Anything worth a try. A year ago I purchased what's called The EarPopper at the cost of £100 in my local pharmacy......didn't work for me !!
Pass on the Cisca Salt Pipe details to other people
Regards Anne
Thank you Anne for your concern. If I had not found a perfect solution to my chronic lifelong allergy problem I would be interested in any way to overcome the problem.
However, in my case I found a miracle cure after over 50 years of chronic sinusitis, so I want to alert other sufferers to this cure.
Evening Primrose Oil overcame a lifetime problem that specialists could not cure.
Kind Regards Ray.
Hi Raymond, after I read your comment of Oil of Primrose I bought myself some. I used to take it years and years ago as they reckons it helped with PMT. I have been taking it now for approx 2 months, a high strength, but can't say that U've noticed much of a difference with my sinus issues and post nasal drip. I'm prepared to try anything and will kprobably buy the Salt Pipe, as I also uffer asthma, although it's completely controlled. Sinus can cause so many different problems, from headaches, neck aches, lightedheadedness and possibly the ETD too. I will continue with the Oil of Prim though, plus all the other vitamins in the hope they will help too.
Anne
Thanks Anne
I suppose one can hope that Evening Primrose Oil is a cure for all allergy problems, but if some get the extremely good benefit that I have, then I will be quite satisfied.
Kind regards Ray.
Yes have tried NeilMed Sinus and maybe helps for the first few mins then my nose becomes blocked worse than it was before I took the NeilMed.
careforu can you PM the details that were removed by the mod?
hi.i have allergy for 4 years.
tried all tge medcine.
just probitioc help me! you can test
Morning, you are correct about taking Probiotics. They do have to be the correct ones with the right bacteria in for you. Recommended to me by a nutritionist that LACTOBACILLUS gosseri KSB and BIFODBACTERIUM bifiden G91 longum are the best to take.
Anne
Hi Ann, I googled LACTOBACILLUS gosseri KSB but didnt fine much. DO you have any links to those two products you mentioned?
Hi Ann, I googled LACTOBACILLUS gosseri KSB and BIFODBACTERIUM bifiden G91 longum but didnt fine much. DO you have any links to those two products you mentioned? do you know of any products that contain those strains? or one of those strains? I have talked with a few companies who sell those products but they dont know if they contain KSB strain or the other one the G91 strain.
Hope you can help?
Morning Mike, I'm afraid I don't have a link for those probiotics. I guess all we can do is buy them and try them. I think I will give them a go. I've been drinking a little bottle of Yakult every morning for years and years, however not too sure they have the correct bacteria in them, so I will be going into Holland and Barratt to buy and try those that were recommended. My friend is a qualified nutritionist and is always sending me links for Rhinitis and ETD, but they are via face book. I'll message her this morning for the link and send it to you. I only get blocked on my left side and also left ear too. I cant say that the Oil of Primrose has done much for me. I'm still using the Flixonase Nasules and they certainly are helping with the ETD. Ears have been good for a few months now. Only allowed to use these drop for a max of 6 weeks though, so dreading having to go back on the Flixonase Aqueous spray as I know all the problems will build back up again. The Nasules dry up all the mucus and Post Nasal Drip that the Allergies and Rhinitis cause, sadly the spray isn't strong enough to do this. I can even smell and taste while using the drops, sadly that will go again when the inflammation returns. No sinus headaches either.
Anne
Hello again Mike.
That website is Do Probiotics Improve
Evidently, no any old probiotics will do, they have to be
a specific organisms to be beneficial.
Let me know if you received this.
Anne

Hi,
This was my contribution to the thread begun by Garnet888 - it may be relevant to your problem:
I am now a crinkly who has had similar allergy/intolerance issues for more than 50 years. My allergy history may be of interest ...
Around pubity I started to suffer with 'hayfever' - that is unpleasant reactions to pollen, especially from grasses - which made me repeatedly sneeeze hard (until my nose would bleed), made me wheezy and caused me sweat (fever). Year on year this became worse and extended beyond the main pollen season. By mid teens I stayed indoors for much of the summers - sometimes staying in bed beacuse the symptoms were so debilitating. Being somewhat distracted I messed up academic exams.
Before 'A' levels I sought help from the NHS who tried somewhat crudely to test me for allegens. Mostly the test allergen spots put onto my skin caused large wheals that all blended together. No progress was made. Life continued its downward slide!
Getting to and through College was a trauma. By this time I learnt to love alcohol and the deterioration spiralled. Allergic rhinitis/sinusitis became common place .... you'll be getting the picture?
In work I had a colleague with similar problems and no positive outcome from NHS treatments who pestered me for possibly two years to visit a particular homeopath ( not a quack but a 'proper' doctor doing medical research) based in Southampton but also who practiced at Harley Street - which, at the time, was easily accessible to me. Eventually, very sceptical, I attended the London clinic. It was the best thing I ever did for my general well being!!
Afer a lot of discussion, a strange and slightly primitive looking electrical aparatus was physically connected to me and comparison made with dozens of material sample slides that were slotted into the machine. Within half an hour the doctor had identified a number of common foodstuffs to which I AM intolerant or allergic. I left with strict diatary exclusion orders that I stuck with for about two months before returning for another consultation. By this time life had taken a very different turn - no headaches, the sinuses were clear, my breathing was so good I could run again, my skin was clear; my mood was very much more bouyant. I was almost a new person!
FOR ME the primary exclusions were processed sugars and related dairy produce (lactose has similar effects and is a very common allergen) plus to a lesser effect coffee, chicken, corn ... and the list goes on.
I lived with my total exclusions for 35 years and enjoyed a very healthy life.
Following early retirement from a successful career I decided that I should be able to re-introduce and control alcohol and sweet puddings. To begin I allowed ten pints of beer in the first year. This gradualy slid to the point that I have been drinking two pints a week and regular puddings, still a relatively small amount, that has made some of the allergy symptoms return with a vengeance. I have sneezing fits, almost continual headaches, problems with my eyes. I recently frightened myself when, with pint in hand, I went into an almost hypnotic state and started insulting a good friend - totally lost it!
I am now back on my exclusions diet going through detoxification.
THE DOCTOR WHO SO IMPROVED MY LIFE ARGUED THAT MOST PEOPLE HAVE ALLERGIES OR INTOLERANCES. SOME PEOPLE ARE LESS TOLERANT OF ALLERGENS AND PEOPLE REACT DIFFERENTLY TO THE VARIOUS POSSIBLE ALLERGENS.
THE MAJORITY OF ALLERGENS TAKEN INTO THE BODY ARE PART OF FOOSTUFFS. iF THE FOODSTUFF ALLEGENS ARE ELIMINATED IT REDUCES THE LIKELYHOOD OF UNCONTROLLABLE ALLERGENS, SUCH AS THOSE IN THE AIR, CAUSING A SENSITIVE PERSON TO HAVE AN ADVERSE REACTION AND CONSEQUENT DETERIORATED HEALTH.
!!GET TESTED FOR FOOD ALLERGIES AND INTOLERANCES!!
Best wishes from an old but experienced fart.
