Quick & Effective Home Remedies And Herbal Treatment For Allergies

Do you experience sneezing, runny nose, or red, watery, itchy eyes, or any other allergic reaction with weather or season change?

It eventually starts hindering your life, and unfortunately, you adjust with that tasteless life instead of working on the root cause and finding the right treatment to cure allergies.

Falling sick with the change of weather is majorly due to weak immunity during changing seasons. Drastic weather changes create doshic imbalances and need extra care and maintenance. As these imbalances incapacitate the body system, our digestive system becomes sluggish due to improper digestion.

So, to combat these allergies from the root, you have to take care of your immunity. Before that, let us see which treatment for allergies can work wonders for you, and how?

Why Is Ayurveda Considered A Better Treatment For Allergies?

Improper digestion results in toxins, which needs to be detoxified from within to eliminate the root cause of allergies. The root removal is imperative to stop its repetitive occurrence, and for many years, Ayurveda is playing a great role in such treatment for allergies. By working on your doshas, Ayurveda can cure all your imbalances irrespective of how old the allergies are.

Ayurveda And Allergies

We all know that allergies are caused by allergens, which could be anything from a specific food ingredient, medicine, weather change, pollination, animal hair, dust to any other airborne particles. This can vary from person to person, different people are affected by different allergens and may show a different allergic reaction to it. 

However, have you ever thought that is it the allergen that’s causing us the problems or if there is some issue with our body’s response system to that allergen?

Ayurveda sees allergies as a result of Asatyma (intolerance of our body), which can be hereditary or can occur at any point in time during the lifetime. The Asatyma can be a result of weak imbalanced Agni (Digestive Fire), improper lifestyle, or eating unsuitable or heavy to digest food. The undigested food gets lodged in the colon and digestive tract and create toxins.

If the diet or lifestyle which is causing the accumulation of Ama in the digestive tract is not corrected, then the toxins (Ama) can eventually travel to different organs or tissues in the body and lodge there.

If not flushed out eventually, simple Ama interacts with the organs, tissues (dhatus), or functions of the body (sub doshas), where it settles and develops into the reactive toxin called Amavisha. In turn, these reactive toxins start preventing nutrients from reaching the tissues and weakens the immune functioning. Therefore, allergies are more common in people with Ama in their system.

The Amavisha results in imbalances of any of the three doshas – Vata, Pitta, or Kapha, which makes the immune system hypersensitive. It is also a possibility that the allergy can be caused due to imbalance of a combination of any two doshas.

Signs of Amavisha vary depending on the part of the body where the Amavisha is located. For instance, if the Amavisha/allergen combination affects the skin, it could result in rashes, discoloration, roughness, or irritation. The same mixture in the lungs is linked to respiratory issues and Amavisha/allergens in the intestinal tract cause Gastrointestinal tract disorders.
