The increasing prevalence of Allergic Rhinitis globally is a matter of concern. Worldwide, allergic rhinitis affects between 10% to 30% of the population. Worldwide sensitization (IgE antibodies) to foreign protiens in the environment is present in upto 40% of the population. About 20-30% of Indian population suffer from at least one allergic disease where allergic rhinitis alone constitutes about 55% of all allergies. This region of Haryana is Semi-arid & dusty. Allergic Rhinitis is quite common in this area. Patients of Vataja Pratishyaya(Allergic Rhinitis) after having treatment from various Many treatment modalities are explained in Allopathic science like Corticosteroids, Anti-Allergic drugs, Inhalers, Antihistamines etc. but none of them are totally effective in curing the disease as well as preventing its recurrence, more over they have their own side effects like Rhinitis medicamentosa, fungal growth due to Topical steroids etc. .
