Ayurveda provides treatment of holistic problems in natural ways. It not only cures the symptoms of seasonal allergies but also reaches the root of the problem. Here, we will discover ayurvedic treatment for seasonal allergies this season. 

Understanding Seasonal Allergies in Ayurveda:

In Ayurveda, we see allergies as an imbalance of three doshas. It includes Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas.

• Kapha dosha: The imbalance of Kapha in the spring season promotes allergies. According to Ayurveda, it is a combination of earth and water. It provides nourishment to all the organs of the body. This dosha includes symptoms like runny nose, mucus in the throat, heaviness, etc.
• Vata Dosha: It is a fundamental force present in our body. It helps to control the processes related to movement in the body. Vata imbalance in autumn causes dry cough and nasal congestion.
• Pitta Dosha: It is a toxin formed in the digestive system due to indigestion. It increases allergies. Ayurveda emphasizes eliminating Pitta i.e. Ama (toxins) from the body. Its presence in the body weakens the immune system.

Ayurvedic Diagnosis of Allergies:

Ayurvedic medicine treats all types of doshas. Therefore, Ayurvedic doctors can easily identify the root cause of allergies (dosha analysis). They treat the patient based on his nature, lifestyle, and current dosha status.

Ayurvedic remedies reach the root of the dosha and treat it using its treatment methods. Ayurvedic treatment helps keep a person healthy in the long term, improving the person’s lifestyle and diseases.
