Allergy is a major health crisis we are facing in modern times. All age groups from babies suffer from some form of allergies. Allergy is an abnormal reaction of the body to specific substances due to the failure of the immune system in human body. Allergic substances are called "allergens" and antibodies against them are called immunoglobulins. When the allergen-antibody reacts again, chemicals such as histamine are present in the body and spread through the blood in the body, causing runny nose, sneezing, shortness of breath and itching.

Allergies can be caused by many things, but the most common ones are foods, cosmetics, toxins, small insects, chemicals, certain plants, drugs, and clothing. Allergies are also hereditary. Weather changes are the main cause of allergies during this period. Allergies are also seen due to psychological reasons. Many of the symptoms of poison described in Ayurvedic science are seen in allergies.

Antihistamines and steroids are used in modern medicine in the treatment of allergies. These drugs are effective in conditions like Anaphylatis shock caused by an allergic reaction. It goes without saying that modern medicine does not have a cure for the causes of allergies and the resulting changes in the immune system. Allergic symptoms are more common in the skin and lungs. In the beginning, treatment should be done according to the patient's symptoms. Ayurvedic science and modern science do the same first. However, Ayurveda gives more importance to 'upari shodhana' treatment in curing disease. In this period of time, the medical science is realizing that the test treatment itself is capable of producing antihistamine in the body.

Shodhana treatment consists of Panchakarma treatments like Vamanam, Vasati, Virochanam, Nasyam, Raktamoksha, etc. and Panchakarma pre-treatments like Ney Seva and Sweating. If these are done according to medical advice, we will get a solution to the allergy problems we are facing today. Also effective medicines against allergies are available in Ayurveda. Better to get treatment scientifically.
