Allergic respiratory diseases are common public health problem. Although several treatment options, some of patients cannot manage to get satisfactory recovery. High altitude (HA) is shown as a natural additive and/or salvage therapy option for this patient group. We aimed to present the effect of HA on allergic rhinitis and bronchial hyperreactivity in company with literature.
