A small inflammation has puzzled hundreds of millions of people

Many patients with allergic rhinitis feel that allergic rhinitis is very difficult to cure. It feels better after taking some medicine, but once the medicine is stopped, the symptoms return to their original state. The treatment of allergic rhinitis really stumps a large number of people. Why is allergic rhinitis so difficult to treat? Is there really no good way to treat allergic rhinitis?

Reasons why allergic rhinitis is difficult to treat

Allergic rhinitis refers to the release of histamine in the body after an atopic individual comes into contact with allergens, which prompts a variety of immune active cells and cytokines to produce a rejection reaction. The direct result is increased sneezing and nasal discharge, as well as tissue swelling.

There are two necessary conditions for allergic rhinitis to occur: the patient is exposed to allergens that cause allergic reactions and the patient has an allergic constitution. Among these, allergic constitution is innate and cannot be changed in a short period of time. It can only be improved through physical exercise or desensitization treatment. However, desensitization treatment is time-consuming, the effect is unstable, and it will relapse in the future. In addition, long-term treatment will also cause certain pain to patients. Therefore, for allergic rhinitis, all we can do is to enhance the body's resistance.

However, physical construction is not a one-day job. Getting healthy through exercise can only be a gradual process. We live in a real world. There is no golden elixir from Laozi, no peaches from Queen Mother of the West, and no panacea that can solve allergic rhinitis once and for all.

Drug treatment is not the right cause

Many patients with allergic rhinitis choose to use some nasal sprays when their symptoms are severe. The effect is often immediate, but the disease will relapse soon. This is because these drugs do not treat the symptoms but the cause. As mentioned earlier, the most fundamental reason for allergic rhinitis is your body's resistance, while symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing are just superficial manifestations. The effect of using these medicines is like harvesting leeks, which will grow again after one crop is cut, and the symptoms will disappear and come back immediately.

So how can we enhance the resistance of the nasal cavity?

The fundamental solution to allergic rhinitis is here

We have repeatedly emphasized that the fundamental solution to allergic rhinitis is to improve one's own resistance. If you are willing and able to persist, a year of physical exercise can bring you an extraordinary feeling, but if you don’t have the time to exercise or don’t have the conditions to stick to it, you can only settle for the next best thing and choose other methods.

Before introducing this method, we must first recall that in addition to body resistance, another factor in the mechanism of allergic rhinitis is contact with allergens. The environment we live in is full of various allergens: dust mites, air pollution, pollen, etc. These allergens will not be excreted immediately after coming into contact with the nasal cavity. Instead, they will be adhered to the secretions in the nasal cavity, accumulate in the nasal cavity, and continuously irritate the nasal cavity. This situation is like a person who can't run anymore, and you tie a sandbag on him. When the body's resistance is low, the continuous accumulation of allergens in the nasal cavity will make your allergic reaction more and more intense.

Therefore, when we cannot improve our resistance in a short period of time. We need to "relieve the pressure" on the nose, remove the sandbags tied to the legs, and let the nose run. So, what should be done?

It is recommended to use saline to wash the nose, such as using the Jiebikang nasal rinser, 1-2 times a day, which can clear the allergens and inflammatory secretions accumulated in the nasal cavity, making the nasal cavity relaxed and comfortable. Generally, you can see obvious results after using it for 1 week. When the nasal cavity is free of burden, its resistance will gradually increase and allergic reactions will slowly ease. If combined with exercise, the effect will be even better.
