Dr. Madhuri Patil Chaudhari: Chronic-  panchkarm esp. vaman: if too much kapha/ mucous, virechan: if too much coughing  but no expectoration of mucous as per prakruti.

Vd. Hardik bhatt, Idar: Vardhman pippli , good for jirn prstishyay

Dr Dipak Shirude: When 'Pratishyaay' turns chronic, it can be denoted as 'Peenas' ...

One has to be aware that the initiating and triggering factor in this ailment is always 'Kapha' but as the disease remains untreated or wrongly treated, the activity of 'Vaat' shows it's dominance. It further makes the 'Strotus' anatomy disturbed. patient's nasal septum, turbinate etc. change their shapes .. possibility of obstructive lesion can be noticed. When you have ruled out all these things, one can start to search the causes of disease. They are generally : Exposure of face to airflow like sleeping under a fast fan or cool airflow or while journey sitting at an open window ! Drinking any kind of liquid (even water) after Sunset is always observed in such patients ! Continuous overhead bath or regular use of showers in bathroom ! Consumption of Food that has nil nutritious value and contains too much artificial ingredients and preservatives ! Frequent use of perfumes and other cosmetics is also a worsening factor ! One who is always careless about his or her health care gradually looses immunity and falls prey to such diseases !  So after proper discussion with patient, a Vaidya can advice do's and don't and further decide the way of treatment. Obviously Nasya is a great therapy in this situation. It can nullify the aggravated 'Kapha' and 'Vaat' alongwith repairing and strengthening of nasal mucosa and even other structures. But the procedure should be followed scientifically. Each and every step must be perfect with pre and post procedures. As per patient's constitution and season outside one should go for all other remaining 4 Panchkarma procedures but that may not be compulsory. Symptomatic treatment cures the recurring symptoms. Some proprietary products suggested as anti-allergic are proving successful. Classical combinations like Haridrakhand, Sukshma Trifala etc. can be on dias. The concluding and the  most important treatment is for non recurrence i.e. 'Rasayana Chikitsa' ..  A wise Vaidya must find proper time to start this last but not least part of treatment in 'Jeerna Pratishyaay' ... I think there is no need to put exact names of the medicines useful for this purpose. Step by step plan of treatment can surely relieve this disease !!
