I can't believe my life has been ruined by such a stupid shitty disease as chronic rhinitis that drove me to suicide due to sleep deprivation. You can verify that I attempted suicide on February 28 if you go to my profile. It just literally doesn't make any sense, it's not a deadly disease or anything like that, it's just your nose getting inflamed from allergies or whatever, and I'm like, damn it, why my body, why the fuck do you have to affect an organ that has to function 24/7? You're going to make my health worse.

I hate this body, I can't believe we are the creation of a perfect god or some shit like that. Our bodies are full of flaws all over the place, and I think allergies are evidence of that.

It just cracks me up, my god, how many times have I complained about how absurdly stupid my situation is. This is not a deadly disease like cancer, it is simply an inflammation in the NOSE that makes it harder to breathe lol.

I want to rip off my nose.

I sympathise. I get symptoms of chronic rhinitis quite frequently. I basically rely on oxymetazoline nasal spray pretty much year round, it doesn't always work but it helps a lot of the time. Have you that or steroid nasal sprays? They can be helpful depending on the cause.

That must be really dreadful and torturous what you go through, to me the human body truly is just a harmful flesh prison that causes suffering, it's cruel how people have to suffer so much in this existence all through no fault of their own. But anyway best wishes.

Budesonide nasal spray keeps mine away. Tried other medications without success. At first took it daily, but now take it only if I think I'm heading towards an episode. Changed my life tbh

Have you tried homemade solutions?
The best one I've heard of is inhaling garlic peel, but I haven't found the recipe yet.
Does your room have carpet?
I recommend removing everything from your room, I only left the bed, if you can, remove it to the closet, use a pillow with a plastic lining, change the pillow and mattress, change the sheets at least once a week, stop consuming milk and its derivatives , something industrialized is causing this.


6 home remedies for rhinitis

Updated February 2024
Scientific evidence
Clinical review: Manuel Reis Nurse
Some home remedies such as eucalyptus essential oil, ginger tea or nettle tea can help improve the symptoms of rhinitis, as they are rich in antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunostimulant substances that strengthen the body's natural defenses and help to eliminate phlegm.
Rhinitis is inflammation of the nasal mucosa, generally caused by an allergy to dust, dust mites or dander, tree or flower pollen, pollution or smoke, causing the release of histamine in the body, a substance responsible for the symptoms of rhinitis. Find out all the symptoms and causes of rhinitis .
Although home remedies do not guarantee a cure for rhinitis, they can help alleviate symptoms and prevent the emergence of new attacks, being an excellent way to complete the treatment recommended by your doctor.

1. Eucalyptus essential oil

Eucalyptus essential oil has eucalyptol in its composition, a substance with anti-inflammatory action on the respiratory tract, which helps reduce the production and facilitates the elimination of phlegm, which causes a blocked nose and runny nose.
This essential oil should only be used for inhalation and should not be consumed orally.
Ingredients
  • 3 to 5 drops of eucalyptus essential oil;
  • 1 liter of boiling water.
Preparation mode
Add drops of eucalyptus essential oil to boiling water. Then, cover your head with an open towel, so that it also covers the container containing the eucalyptus essential oil solution. Tilt your head over the container and breathe in the steam for 10 minutes. This towel helps keep the solution vapor for longer.
Eucalyptus essential oil should not be used by children and pregnant or breastfeeding women. Additionally, some people may be sensitive to eucalyptus oil, especially people with some type of respiratory allergy or asthma. Therefore, if rhinitis symptoms worsen, there is an intense cough or difficulty breathing, it is recommended to avoid using eucalyptus essential oil.

2. Ginger and garlic tea

Ginger and garlic tea has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties due to allicin, present in garlic, and phenolic compounds such as gingerol, chogaol and zingerone, from ginger, which help combat the symptoms of rhinitis such as stuffy nose, runny nose, pain throat and general discomfort.
Furthermore, this tea helps to strengthen the immune system and shorten the duration of rhinitis.
Ingredients
  • 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and cut in half;
  • 1 cm of ginger root or ½ teaspoon of powdered ginger;
  • 3 cups of water;
  • Honey to sweeten (optional).
Preparation mode
Boil water with garlic. Remove from heat and add ginger and honey. Strain and serve afterwards.
Ginger should not be consumed by people using anticoagulants, and therefore should be removed from the tea in these cases.

3. Peppermint tea

Peppermint tea is rich in menthol, an essential oil that helps improve symptoms of runny nose, stuffy nose, headache and cough, common in rhinitis.
Furthermore, this tea has anti-inflammatory properties, which help reduce inflammation in the airways, relieving the symptoms of rhinitis.
Ingredients
  • 6 chopped peppermint leaves;
  • 150 mL of boiling water.
Preparation mode
In a cup, add the water over the chopped mint leaves and let it rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Strain, sweeten with honey if desired and drink 3 to 4 cups a day.

4. Apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar has polyphenols in its composition with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which help to strengthen the immune system and combat inflammation of the respiratory tract, being very useful for reducing the symptoms of rhinitis such as a stuffy nose, runny nose or cough, for example. example.
Ingredients
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar;
  • 1 glass of water.
Preparation mode
Add apple cider vinegar to the glass of water and mix. Drink 1 glass, 20 minutes before breakfast, lunch or dinner.
It is important to rinse your mouth with water after drinking the apple cider vinegar solution and, to prevent tooth enamel from wearing away, you should brush your teeth 30 minutes after drinking the solution.
Apple cider vinegar can also be used throughout the day to season salads, for example.

5. Thyme infusion

Thyme infusion is rich in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant substances, such as thymol, carvacrol, cymene and linalool, with expectorant action, which allows the elimination of phlegm and relieves runny nose and the feeling of a stuffy nose caused by allergic rhinitis.
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon of dried thyme extract or 2 sprigs of fresh thyme;
  • 1 liter of boiling water.
Preparation mode
Add the dried thyme to the boiling water and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain and drink up to 3 cups per day.
Thyme infusion should not be used by people with stomach problems such as gastritis or ulcers, by people with liver disease or who use anticoagulant medications such as warfarin or clopidogrel, for example.

6. Nettle tea

Nettle tea blocks the effects of histamine in the body, the substance responsible for the inflammatory response in cases of allergies. Therefore, drinking this tea throughout the day helps to alleviate the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, especially the runny nose, itching and the feeling of a stuffy nose.
Ingredients
  • 2 coffee spoons of chopped nettle leaves;
  • 200 mL of water.
Preparation mode
Boil the water and add the nettle leaves, then let it rest for 10 minutes, strain and drink 3 to 4 cups of tea per day.
Another option is to take nettle capsules in a dose of 300 to 350 mg, 2 to 3 times a day.
Nettle tea should not be used by children, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or by people with heart disease or impaired kidney function.

The bad thing about oxymetazoline is that it causes rebound congestion. If it wasn't for that I'm sure I'd use it all year round.

Thank you a lot! Yeah, I removed pretty much everything from my room, but still it persists. I'll try these home remedies.
have you tried dietary interventions? cutting lactose?
Yup. I think what I have is more allergy related since I already went through surgery (septoplasty and turbinoplasty), but symptoms don't seem to improve.

I don't know if already tried everything but just in case you didn't

1- Lavages with warm saline everyday 1-2 times a day use around 20mL or more and the saline has to come out through the other nostril not the mouth

2- Budesonide nasal spray

3- Montelukast (singular) pills but be aware of the side effects I felt nothing

4- Intensive cleaning of the home and especially the place you spend most of the time

5- Check if you don't have a deviated sptum or other types of nasal obstructions

That's all that I got I hope it helps and it gets better, I've been there.

Do you know what you are allergic to? I have allergic rhinitis too. I was told initially I had a dust allergy but I later found out that I had most attacks after taking spicy food, so I've had a much better response after cutting out chilli.

I still get a runny nose sometimes without taking anything spicy so I think there's some other factor that's causing it - maybe humidity or dust mites. I doubt the dust mites thing very much cause there are a lot of days where I don't get any symptoms staying indoors and on the bed.. But spicy food definitely sets it off.

I took a mometasone furoate spray (nasonex) for two years continuously and it gave me blood blisters on eating anything sharp like chips and so on. So then I went on a restricted diet for a while, cut out everything spicy, processed food, took whole foods like oatmeal, green vegetables. The root of the problem could be a damaged gut lining which needs to be healed by taking lots of fibre rich foods and avoiding foods that cause inflammation like sugar, spicy food, refined wheat flour etc... Kefir, yoghurt help in eliminating bad bacteria and populating the gut with good bacteria. You should see good results in a few weeks to a few months.

I weaned off the spray eventually and use it now oh on an ad-hoc basis. It could take a few months for the results to show, but that would be the way to go about it.. If you don't know what you are allergic to, get a panel test done that can identify it..

I know what it feels like to have your nose inflamed and sneezing non stop and having a runny nose bad enough to think of ctb just because of it.. I hope this helps.. Don't hesitate to pm me if you need any further help. Wish you luck.

I absolutely feel you. It's like being defeated by a mosquito. You feel powerless. How long have you suffered this condition for? I have had the same issue, leading to a severe obstructive sleep apnea that remained undiagnosed for a very long time. Sleep and oxygen deprivation fucks up with your brain and other systems. It's deadly but just not as fast and peaceful as N lol. Hope you can have it treated. I use Dymista nasal spray + CPAP machine & going for a turbinate reduction soon. Swimming helps too, as does avoiding strong smells, rubbing your nose, positional sleeping... You might want to consider a sleep study too. Hope you can find a fix B4 trying to CTB again. Good luck!

Hi. Thank you for your very informative reply. Yes, I have a pending allergen test which I hope will be soon. Regarding the diet you are talking about, it sounds interesting. Do you know where I can get more information about it?

Hi. Thank you for your very informative reply. Yes, I have a pending allergen test which I hope will be soon. Regarding the diet you are talking about, it sounds interesting. Do you know where I can get more information about it?

Sorry, I don't have like one source.. I did my research and collected information from several sources online..

Basically I came across a video that said the issue is caused by a damaged gut lining across which proteins leak into the blood stream causing the sneezing and runny nose. So the answer lies in healing the gut. And also avoiding foods that are known to cause inflammation like sugar, chilli, refined wheat flour etc..

I'd advise you to go for a through gut cleanse first and then switch to a diet that's rich in fiber. Fruits and vegetables contain lots of fiber that basically acts like a broom sweeping away all the bad bacteria out from the colon. Water is good for the same reason. 2 to 3 litres a day will be a huge help. Cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, broccoli are great for the gut. Oatmeal has a lot of fiber and should definitely be a part of the diet. Test if you have an allergy to dairy. I am mentioning the diet I followed with dairy. You can cut it out if it doesn't agree with you.

The diet I followed was something like
Breakfast
Option 1 :-
Oatmeal + milk + flax seed powder (1tbsp) - 2 cups of this combination
Dried figs (soaked in boiling water overnight) - 5
Walnuts 10 halves.

Option 2 :-
Boiled eggs - 2 or 3 with salt and pepper

Option 3 :-
Overnight oats.



I think you can even try this with kefir in place of yoghurt. Look up second fermentation of the kefir that makes it sweeter and gives it a creamy texture.

Lunch
I have split moong dal with rice. It's our staple food here and very healing for the stomach.

The split moong dal and rice are washed thoroughly first. They are kept in separate vessels and covered just above the surface with water. They are placed in a pressure cooker for 12 whistles. You can add 1/2 tsp turmeric to the split moong dal.

You can combine this with 1 or 2 cups of cooked non starchy vegetables like carrots, cabbage, broccoli, snake gourd, chayote, bottle gourd etc..

Evening snack
Option 1:-
Kalmi dates - 5
Walnuts - 10 halves
1 cup of milk

Option 2:-
Fruits like apples, bananas, papayas

A note about dates is they are high oxalate foods. High oxalate foods can a cause kidney stones in the long run. Food high in oxalates are Almonds, spinach, dates, quinoa, chocolate etc... One way to eliminate or minimize oxalates is by boiling or steaming the food (reduces oxalates by 27 to 60%), combining it with calcium (taking it with milk or cheese), consuming plenty of water. So if you're taking dates soak it in boiling water overnight or for about 8 hours and maybe take a cup of milk with it.

Dinner is same as lunch for me.

I'd highly recommend taking probiotics like Kefir, sauerkraut and kimchi. Kefir especially is manna for the gut. It eliminates the bad bacteria and populates the gut with good bacteria. You may need a bit if getting used to this as you may experience a bit of bloating or discomfort initially as it begins acting on the bad bacteria, but eventually in a few days the discomfort should go away. It's advised to take small quantities like start with 25 or 50 ml then double it to 50 or 100 ml and eventually maybe you can take 200 ml which should be good.

Cut out sugar, spicy food, processed food and junk food as this will only add to the bad bacteria and worsen the problem. Avoid, burgers, Pizzas, colas, chips, biscuits so on.. these are the worst of the lot I think. Once your gut is healthy you may include sugar - a max of about 25 gm per day I think is the recommended level.

If your sneezing and runny nose is out of control, you can take a corticosteroid nasal spray. I used a mometasone furoate nasal spray (nasonex) one puff in each nostril or else two puffs in each nostril at night. Should be good for 24 hours. This should temporarily control it while you work on healing your gut and body. If you go for this, I'd advise it only as a short term measure as it can cause several issues in the long term such as glaucoma. The water gets trapped building the pressure on the eyes which eventually causes the condition. It is advised to take it infrequently and in the least amount that is necessary. I'd recommend taking the advice of a doctor if you plan on taking it..

I took it for 2 years straight and I began to get blood blisters from eating sharp food like chips that would take 10 days to heal. The corticosteroid works by suppressing the immune system and acts locally and can change the structures in the tongue. I wouldn't recommend using it more than 6 months. You'll have plenty of time to heal your gut by that time and you can try weaning off the spray well before that.

I know what desperation this condition can cause. I've had my nose inflamed and sneezing non stop with having runny nose constantly. It feels like pure hell. I have bipolar, borderline, ptsd, Ocd and a few other problems in addition to that, but I felt like CTBing purely because of my allergic rhinitis alone. It was that bad. If this is the only problem you have, it's certainly manageable. You shouldn't have to CTB just because of this. Just be patient for like a few weeks or 6 months or whatever time it takes. The nasal spray and the diet in combination can keep this under control and time will surely solve the problem. I wish you all the best. Feel free to get in touch if you need anything..

No one mentioned this yet, but have you heard of mast cell activation syndrome? I'm not sure if that might be relevant to your situation, or if you are allergic to any of the sutures/dissolving stitches etc used in your surgery, I am not sure if they will test for different materials like that in the allergy panel but its worth mentioning just in case.

Losing sleep really does wear away your sanity and make you feel hopeless. Even though it isn't something crazy systemic illness, this is drastically effecting your quality of life and I can understand completely why you're fed up with it. I hope you're able to get some relief.
