The Ayurvedic Understanding of Allergies
Why Allergies Persist
✖ Modern Approach: Suppresses symptoms with antihistamines
✖ Missed Root Causes:
- Weak digestion (creating Ama toxins)
- Impaired liver function (poor toxin filtration)
- Vata/Pitta imbalance (hyperactive immune response)
Our 3-Pronged Healing Strategy
✔ Ama Removal: Detoxify allergy-triggering toxins
✔ Rasayana Therapy: Rebuild Ojas (immune essence)
✔ Nidana Parivarjana: Identify & eliminate triggers
“Allergies aren’t an overreaction—they’re your body’s cry for detoxification.” – Dr. Divya S

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Ayurveda cure allergies permanently?
Yes! Unlike antihistamines that suppress symptoms, Ayurveda:
Identifies root causes (weak immunity, toxin buildup, digestive issues)
Uses detox therapies (Panchakarma) + herbs to rebuild defense mechanisms
70-80% patients report significant long-term relief after proper treatment
How long until I see improvement?
Acute cases: Relief in 3-5 days with herbs
Chronic allergies: 4-6 weeks of therapy + diet changes
Seasonal: Start treatment 1 month before allergy season
Can stress cause allergies?
Yes! Stress → Weak digestion → Toxins (ama) → Allergic reactions
We include Shirodhara/meditation to break this cycle
