8 Constitution Medicine offers a particularly effective treatment for chronic rhinitis. The most fundamental cause of chronic rhinitis as determined within the framework of 8 Constitution Medicine is the overall weakening of automatic nervous system. As the balance within the nervous system shatters, myriad disorders arise. Respiratory system in particular gets easily disrupted and becomes vulnerable to attacks from outside, in an almost immediate response to the failure on part of automatic nervous system. And nose is the member of this system most exposed to such external influences. Below are brief introduction to and 8 Constitutional analysis of the nature of three variations of chronic rhinitis.
1.
Vasmotor rhinitis is caused by the over-action of parasympathetic nerves, which leads to the expansion of the blood vessels surrounding nasal mucous membrane, which in turn results in increased blood flow. On one hand, this pumps up mucous secretion and triggers runny hose. On the other hand, mucous membrane swell-up leads to nasal congestion. Vasomotor rhinitis is symptomatically indistinguishable from allergic rhinitis. Out of the 8 constitutions, it is prevalent among Hepatonians and Cholecystonians.
2.
On the contrary, atrophic rhinitis patients suffer from dryness and shriveling of nasal mucous membrane. Often, such progressive nasal disorders such as chronic sinusitis and hypertropic rhinitis run its full course and develop into the final stage that is atrophic rhinitis. Aside the runny nose typical of all rhinitis, atrophic rhinitis deprive moisture from mucous membrane and the dryness resulting thereby can be painful a great deal.
8 Constitution Medicine finds the root of this problem in innately “strong” sympathetic nervous system and lung’s energetic system. To be ‘strong’ here means that these two organ systems are naturally bit out of optimal balance and easy to overact. Pulmotonians, disposed with these two conditions, are especially prone to atrophic rhinitis. Atrophic rhinitis patients must avoid living in dry area, engaging in exercises that are too strenuous, and eating nuts and dairy products. Long-term 8 Constitutional treatments along with strict observance of diet and other restrictions improve the condition a great deal.
3.
Allergic rhinitis is the most common variety of rhinitis. Nearly three out of ten adults suffer from allergic rhinitis. Among the 8 Constitutions, Pancreatonian, Hepatonian, Cholecystonian, and Pulmutonian are all prone to allergic rhinitis. As opposed to the other two examined above, its root cause is unclear. A number of chemical therapies and ummunotherapy are available, but serve only as a temporary relief rather than the permanent cure.
Conclusion
Chronic rhinitis is an external indication that there is an systematic imbalance somewhere in one’s body. 8 Constitution Medicine, accordingly, focuses not on subduing external symptoms, but on rectifying the systematic failures from which the symptoms spring. Rhinitis, allergic and nonallergic alike, is not just a local problem isolated in the nose. The true problem rests on the systematic failure of cooperation and communication between the nervous system and various organs. I attribute 8 Constitution Medicine’s effective treatment of chronic rhinitis to its emphasis on holistic and systematic, not local and isolated, approach to human physiology. Moreover, as 8 Constitution Medicine formulates constitution-specific treatment and thereby pinpoints precise foci of trouble for each individual, it is bound to be more effective than a broad treatment devised on the understanding only of surface symptoms.
