Ayurveda Management of Allergic Rhinitis: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is the inflammation of the membranes lining the nose due to allergen exposure and is characterized by sneezing, nasal congestion, itching of the nose, or postnasal discharge. The prevalence varies worldwide, perhaps due to the geographic and aeroallergen differences, with 10% to 30% of the world's population experiencing AR. In this study, Anu Taila Nasya, Naradiya Laxmivilas Rasa, and Shirishadi Kwath will be compared to a fluticasone nasal spray.
