Allergic rhinitis is a chronic non infectious inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa of the respiratory tract. The inflammation is usually triggered by immunoglobulin (IgE)-mediated mediators such as histamine through contact of allergens, which then lead to a cascade of immune active cells and cytokines.
The classic symptoms of allergic rhinitis involve sneezing, watery nasal discharge, nasal itching, nasal congestion accompanied by itchy eyes, tears, redness, burning sensations at the eyes. Complications of allergic rhinitis can include bronchial asthma, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness.
Acupuncture has been used to treat allergic rhinitis without the side effects like that of Western medications.
