Allergic rhinitis is a very common disorder that affects up to 40% of the population. Allergic rhinitis is the most common type of chronic rhinitis, affecting 10 to 20% of the population,

and evidence suggests that the prevalence of the disorder is increasing. Severe allergic rhinitis has been associated with significant impairments in quality of life, sleep and work performance. According toWHO (2007), the global burden of allergic rhinitis was estimated to be 400 million and the prevalence among adult ranges between 10% and 32% in Asia Pacific region.

There are many researches conducted in the past to analyze the effectiveness of Homoeopathy in the treatment of Allergic Rhinitis, and was found that homoeopathic treatment is very much effective in treating allergic rhinitis. There by it improves the quality of life of patients. But mostly studies were done with specific remedies. So, this study is been taken to analyze the effectiveness of Millesimal and Centesimal potencies in the treatment of Allergic Rhinitis.

Hahnemann’s initial objective for working on the sixth edition of Organon of Medicine was his awareness of the ill effects caused by frequently repeated but not modified homoeopathic doses. He felt that the aggravations caused by centesimal potency increases the sufferings of the patient. Later from his

practice Hahnemann understood that, by administering liquid doses altered by succussions produces slight change

in potency and that this improves the therapeutic effect with less side effects. So, he introduced the concept of 50 millesimal potency or LM scale. In this potency, the strength of the medicine can be slightly increased every time by succussions. And the repetition and elevation in potency will not produce any aggravation or new unwanted symptoms in the patient.
