Is dandelion good for rhinitis?

Dandelion is both a wild vegetable and a traditional Chinese medicine. Its obvious therapeutic effect is clearing away heat and detoxifying. It also has a certain therapeutic effect on bacterial infections. If bacterial rhinitis occurs, the use of dandelion also has a certain therapeutic effect. However, if it is allergic rhinitis, then using dandelion to treat rhinitis will not be effective, so when using dandelion to treat rhinitis, you must use it for the right disease.

What are some successful folk remedies for treating rhinitis?

1. Wash your nose with salt water to treat rhinitis

Prepare saline solution (put two spoons of salt in a 100 ml bottle, dilute with boiling water), use a cotton ball wrapped with a toothpick and dipped in the saline solution to wash the nostrils, then leave the cotton wool in the nostrils temporarily. At this time, either tilt your head back or lie flat, press both sides of the nose with your index finger and thumb, and suck hard to allow the saline solution on the cotton ball to flow into the nasal cavity and then into the throat. At first you may feel an unbearable pungent sensation inside your nose, but you will get used to it after a few times. You can also start by washing with lighter saline and gradually increase the concentration to allow your nasal cavity to adapt slowly. If you wash your nose once in the morning and once in the evening, you will be cured in about a month.

2. Garlic cures rhinitis

Mash a clove of garlic, wrap it in a clean bean curd cloth, squeeze out the garlic juice and drop two drops into each nostril (it will be very painful at the time). Then press the nose a few times with your hands so that all the nostrils are sticky with the garlic juice. Mild cases can be cured after one time, and severe cases can be cured after two times (Note: Garlic is highly irritating, please start with a small amount; it is forbidden for those who are allergic to garlic).

3. Luffa vines treat sinusitis

Find a few meters of old loofah vines, dry them, cut them into thin sections, and then bake them on tiles until they are half-charred (be sure not to let them become burnt). Then grind them into fine powder on a panel and put them in a bottle for later use. When using, clean the mucus in the nasal cavity, wipe the nasal cavity with a clean cotton ball, then use a thin plastic tube (such as the small tube used for drinking yogurt), ask your family to help blow the loofah vine powder into the nasal cavity, and then plug the nostrils with a dry cotton ball. This method is best applied before going to bed at night. It can be cured after several days.

4. Erythromycin and tetracycline eye ointment can treat rhinitis

Apply erythromycin or tetracycline eye ointment on a sterilized cotton swab, insert it into the nasal cavity and evenly apply the ointment. Apply the entire nasal cavity each time, twice a day. Generally, rhinitis can be cured in 3 to 5 days without any sequelae.

5. Use sesame oil to treat allergic rhinitis

Sesame oil is ordinary edible sesame oil, which can be dripped into the nose three to five times a day, about five drops each time. Note: Do not use the drops when your nasal congestion is severe. You can change your body position and wait until your nose is unblocked before using the drops. Blow your nose clean before using the drops. If you persist, you will definitely see results.
