Persistent sneezing can be more than just a minor annoyance—it may be a signal of underlying health issues affecting your respiratory system. Chronic sneezing often disrupts daily activities, impacts sleep, and can indicate allergies, irritants, or infections. In holistic healing systems like Ayurveda, such symptoms might be linked to an imbalance in the body's doshas, particularly Kapha, which can be aggravated by environmental factors, diet, or seasonal changes.
Try these simple and effective remedies to relieve persistent sneezing:
Boil water and add a handful of fresh peppermint leaves and a few sprigs of thyme. Once the water has cooled slightly, inhale the herbal steam to help open up nasal passages and soothe inflammation directly in the sinuses.
Use a neti pot or saline spray to flush out allergens and irritants, helping to reduce inflammation and frequency of sneezing.
Peppermint tea can act as a natural decongestant, easing respiratory discomfort and calming persistent sneezing.
Prepare a daily elixir by mixing one teaspoon of raw apple cider vinegar and one teaspoon of local honey in a cup of warm water. This blend may help balance nasal pH and reduce mucosal irritation that triggers sneezing.
Incorporate foods high in quercetin—such as apples, berries, and onions—into your diet. Quercetin is a natural antioxidant that acts as a mild antihistamine and may help reduce allergic responses linked to persistent sneezing.
