Allergy Relief
Sorry, there are no products in this collection
Allergies are caused when your body reacts to allergens like pollen, dust, or animal fur. Allergies can strike on contact with allergens and cause a variety of symptoms, such as itchy eyes, a runny nose, or a throbbing headache. It is difficult to completely eliminate allergens from the environment.
Natural herbs and remedies have been used for millennia to aid people with allergies. Ayurveda believes that an imbalance of the three Doshas can cause allergies. Ayurvedic supplements can boost the immune system, helping the body combat allergic reactions naturally. Instead of focusing on the symptoms, Ayurveda recommends strengthening the body by using adaptogens and herbs.
What is the best way to manage allergic reactions?
Our immune system produces substances called antibodies. When we have allergies, the immune system makes antibodies that identify certain substances like pollen or dust as harmful, even when they are not. This triggers an immune response in the body with symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, or fever.
Avoiding contact with these allergens is the perfect way to stop allergic reactions. However, this is not always possible due to the abundance of these allergens in our environment. Ayurveda advocates working on the body’s immune system, so it does not identify harmless substances as allergens. By not identifying these substances as allergens, the immune response is no longer triggered, resulting in relief from allergies.
What are some common types of allergies?
Allergy symptoms can range from mild to severe, and the severity varies from person to person. Some common allergies include:
- Hay fever, also called allergic rhinitis
- Food allergy
- Insect-sting allergy
- Drug allergy
- Atopic dermatitis
Ayurveda to relieve allergic reactions
Ayurvedic herbs and supplements are believed to support the performance of the immune system and aid the body’s response to allergens. For instance, Turmeric is shown to significantly help with food allergies by maintaining the immune balance in the body.[1] By restoring the immune balance, these supplements aid the natural immune response of the body and alleviate symptoms of allergies.
