Exploring the Role of Homoeopathic Bowel Nosode in Allergic Rhinitis: Short communication on Dysenteriae Compound

Abstract

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 their management. Only very few studies exist for allergic rhinitis management with medicines prepared from Bowel nosodes. This study evaluates the clinical effectiveness of Homoeopathic Bowel nosode Dysenteriae compound (Dysenteriae co) in patients with allergic rhinitis. A total of ninety participants diagnosed with allergic rhinitis were selected, and Dysenteriae co was administered in different potencies. The 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), which were performed at baseline and the 6th month. TNSS were also monitored on the 2^nd, 5^th,  and 7^th day after giving medicines. The average time to get relief for symptoms in  TNSS was around 3.5-4 days. Bowel nosode Dysenteriae compound, had a significant effect in reducing the symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
