Abstract

The main symptoms of allergic rhinitis are sternulation, rhinorrhea and rhinanchon. It is also characterized by frontal headache, ohotophobia and epiphora. Alleric rhinitis occurs when inhaled alleren is in contact with nasal mucosa which causes immune response. Bojungiki-Tang is one of the most frequently used medical treatment for the allergic rhinitis. Two chronic perennial allergic rhinitis sutterers, whose alleraies are thought to be due to house dust and ticks, were investigated through the eosinoohil numerical index and the subject symptom numerical index for three months. After treatment, both patients showed a lower index for both tests. The symptom index scores diminished from 17 to 3, and from 16 to 5. The eosinophil numerical index taken through blood tests, diminised from 4 to 2, and from 4 to 3. The above results suggest that Bojungiki-Tang has the inhibitory effects on allergic rhinitis.
