Qingbi Hall: Four folk remedies for rhinitis that cannot be trusted!

1. Blow your nose with a hair dryer

Rumor has it that turning on the hot air from a hair dryer and blowing your nose at a low wind speed can effectively solve rhinitis.

This method can relieve symptoms but cannot cure it. Generally speaking, nasal congestion will be relieved during daytime labor or exercise and in a warm environment, but will be aggravated by sitting quietly at night or in a cold environment. A hair dryer can produce hot air, which can improve blood flow, promote local blood circulation, and relieve nasal congestion. However, it can only relieve symptoms and cannot cure rhinitis.

Some experts also pointed out that the nose has the function of regulating temperature, humidity and self-cleaning. The nasal cavity needs a humid environment. Blowing your nose with a hair dryer will damage the nasal mucosa, weaken the function of cleaning the virus in the nasal cavity, and make the nasal cavity drier and more uncomfortable. If the nasal cavity is inflamed, this method is likely to aggravate the condition.

2. Mash garlic and plug your nostrils

A folk remedy circulating on the Internet says that mashing garlic, wrapping it in gauze, squeezing out the garlic juice, and stuffing it into the nostrils can cure rhinitis.

It is not advisable to solve rhinitis in this way. Garlic has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, and its pungent smell can make people sneeze, thereby temporarily opening the nasal cavity. But this is a bad stimulation, which may cause other nasal diseases, and long-term use will aggravate the condition.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, allergic rhinitis is mainly the result of the interaction between internal and external factors. On the one hand, we need to improve our resistance, and on the other hand, we need to eliminate evil spirits. The two can work together to solve the problem.

3. Mushrooms stewed in milk

It is said that if you slice dried shiitake mushrooms, cook them in milk, and eat them a few times, your rhinitis will be cured.

Although shiitake mushrooms are a kind of mushroom food containing high protein, low fat, polysaccharides, multiple amino acids and vitamins, and can improve human immunity. Milk is also a high-protein food, but it is not reliable to say that stewing shiitake mushrooms with milk can solve rhinitis. Moreover, mushrooms are hair products and are easy to cause inflammation.

4. Apply eye ointment to the nasal cavity

Another method on the Internet is to apply erythromycin or tetracycline eye ointment evenly into the nasal cavity twice a day. Generally, rhinitis can be cured in 3 to 5 days.

This method must be used with caution. Erythromycin ointment can remove nasal crusts, keep the nasal cavity moist, and has a certain anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effect. If the patient's rhinitis is a bacterial infection, this method may relieve the symptoms, but if there is pus in the frontal sinus, applying ointment will not only fail to solve the rhinitis, but will aggravate the onset of rhinitis.
