Rhinitis

Also known as:  Coryza

Rhinitis is a condition involving Inflammation of the Mucous Membranes of the nasal passages of the Nose.  It is characterized by frequent sneezing, burning sensations in the Nose and discharge of large quantities of Mucous from the Nose (often via sneezing).

Alkaloids

 Capsaicin (administered intranasally) may alleviate Rhinitis.  ^[1]

 Pseudoephedrine (30 mg per dose) may function as a nasal decongestant in (allergic) Rhinitis patients.  ^[2]

Amino Acids

 N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) may be a useful therapy for the treatment of (allergic) Rhinitis.  ^[3]

Animal Organ Extracts

 Thymus Extract may alleviate Rhinitis (it may normalize the lowered Helper T-Cells:Suppressor T-Cells ratio that is a characteristic of (allergic) Rhinitis).  ^[4]

Enzymes

 Bromelain may be a useful therapy for the treatment of (allergic) Rhinitis.  ^[5]

Lipids

 Beta-Sitosterol(especially when used in conjunction with Sterolins such as Beta-Sitosterol Glycoside) may alleviate (allergic) Rhinitis (by increasing the TH1 Helper T-Cells:TH2 Helper T-Cells ratio and by decreasing IgE levels).  ^[6]

 Beta-Sitosterol Glycoside (especially when used in conjunction with Phytosterols such as Beta-Sitosterol) may alleviate (allergic) Rhinitis (by increasing the TH1 Helper T-Cells:TH2 Helper T-Cells ratio and by decreasing IgE levels).  ^[7]

Minerals

 Silver may be useful for the treatment of (viral) Rhinitis.  ^[8]
