Objective: Allergic rhinitis is one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide and is caused by an immunoglobulin E–mediated reaction to inhaled allergens. Its hallmark symptoms include nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, nasal itching, and sneezing. Thorough medical history-taking, physical examination, and skin-prick testing are essential for establishing a diagnosis of allergic rhinitis. Case Report: A Korean male patient in his 30s presented with long-standing discomfort associated with allergic rhinitis that had persisted since childhood. His medical history was also notable for allergic keratoconjunctivitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and chronic constipation. The patient received Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT), which included supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids, glycyrrhizin, Ginkgo biloba extract, silymarin, and selenium. Following OCNT, the patient reported marked improvement in symptoms associated with his allergic conditions. Conclusion: Although this single-patient case limits the generalizability of the findings to all individuals with allergic rhinitis, the notable improvement observed following six months of prolonged OCNT suggests potential clinical relevance. Accordingly, this case is reported to highlight the therapeutic implications of OCNT in allergic rhinitis management.
