Addressing Underlying Factors: My Journey to Wellbeing with Allergic Rhinitis

 
Hello, I’m Sarmila Pande, and I want to share with you how addressing the root causes of my allergic rhinitis transformed my life. For years, I was caught in a cycle of managing symptoms with medications—constant sneezing, congestion, and fatigue were my companions. It wasn't until I delved deeper into the underlying factors, both physical and emotional, that I found true relief.

 
Understanding the Root Causes


Initially, I believed my allergies were solely due to environmental factors. However, I soon discovered that my real triggers were perfectionism and anxiety. The self-imposed pressure to always perform and excel induced chronic stress, exacerbating my symptoms. Delivery anxiety—worrying about meeting expectations—manifested as tightness in my chest and throat, contributing to respiratory inflammation. 

The Physical Impact of Stress 

Stress manifests not only mentally but physically as well. My body lived in a constant state of tension, increasing my sensitivity to allergens. By understanding this mind-body connection, I realized healing required addressing my internal environment, not just external triggers. 

The Journey to Healing 

To truly heal, I embraced a holistic approach. While medications played a role in managing symptoms, they weren't my sole solution. Incorporating energy healing practices like Pranic healing, breathwork, and mindfulness helped calm my nervous system and alleviate years of built-up stress. Over time, my allergic reactions significantly decreased. 
Developing self-compassion was a key part of this journey. Letting go of the need for perfection allowed me to live more balanced. I learned to go with the flow, meeting challenges without overwhelming anxiety. 

Balancing Ancient and Modern Healing 

My transformation came by blending modern medicine with ancient healing practices. Although medications were present in my journey, pairing them with energy work, mindfulness, and emotional awareness addressed both physical symptoms and emotional imbalances. By releasing perfectionism and anxiety, my body gradually healed. 

Embracing Flow and Wellbeing 

Achieving a state of flow—being fully present and aligned with my purpose—has been transformative. Today, my allergic rhinitis is 95% under control, reminding me to stay connected to my body and emotions, maintaining balance in life.
