Abstract

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a prevalent inflammatory condition affecting the upper respiratory tract, often associated with immune dysregulation. Homoeopathic interventions like constitutional medicines are generally used in its management.

Objective: This case study evaluates the clinical effectiveness of Constitutional Homoeopathic medicine Natrum muriaticum in managing the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, and reducing allergic immunomarkers in blood.

Methods: The case study was selected from the Outpatient wing of the Materia Medica Department of Govt. Homoeopathic Medical College. The patient was given Constitutional medicine Natrum muriaticum, and repetition was done based on Homoeopathic principles. Primary outcome measures included symptom relief, assessed by the time taken for improvement, by measuring the Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS),  and changes in immune markers like serum Immunoglobulin E (IgE),  and Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC).

Results: The average time to get immediate symptomatic relief based on TNSS was around 6 days.

Conclusion: The study concludes that constitutional medicines may take more time to alleviate immediate symptoms, but the recurrence of allergic symptoms and the reduction in immune markers (IgE and AEC), were reduced after 6 months.
