Allergic Rhinitis
At Dr. Shamim Alig's clinic, we specialize in the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of Allergic Rhinitis, a condition characterized by symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and itchy eyes. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Shamim Alig integrates Unani and Ayurvedic medicine with modern medical practices to provide holistic and effective treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs.
Understanding Allergic Rhinitis: Allergic Rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever, occurs when the immune system overreacts to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or mold. This reaction causes inflammation in the nasal passages, leading to the characteristic symptoms.
Holistic Treatment Approach: Dr. Shamim Alig employs a multifaceted approach to treating Allergic Rhinitis, focusing on symptom relief, immune system balance, and prevention of future episodes. Our treatment plans combine Unani and Ayurvedic therapies with lifestyle modifications and modern medical interventions.
