What We Treat

Ans. Food allergies occur when the immune system reacts abnormally to certain foods. Poor gut health, microbial imbalance, stress, and unhealthy diet can increase sensitivity. These factors weaken digestion and immunity, making the body more prone to allergic reactions and chronic inflammation.

Ans. Early symptoms of food allergies include skin rashes, itching, swelling, bloating, diarrhea, and breathing discomfort. Symptoms may appear within minutes or hours after consuming trigger foods. Identifying these signs early helps prevent complications and manage allergies more effectively.

Ans. Gut health plays a vital role in immune function, with a large portion of immunity linked to the digestive system. An unhealthy gut can trigger inflammation and immune overreaction, increasing the risk of food, skin, and respiratory allergies.

Ans. Allergies often return due to repeated exposure to triggers, weak gut health, stress, or incomplete treatment. Managing only symptoms may not provide lasting relief. Addressing root causes like digestion and immune imbalance is important for long-term allergy control and prevention.

Ans. Food allergies are usually not permanently cured but can be effectively managed. Some children may outgrow certain allergies, while others persist. Improving gut health, avoiding triggers, and supporting immune balance can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life over time.

Ans. Natural and Ayurvedic treatments aim to improve digestion, detoxify the body, and balance the immune system in paediatrics, adults, and older age groups. These approaches may help reduce the severity and frequency of allergic reactions when followed consistently under professional supervision.

Ans. IAFA Ayurveda, also known as the Institute of Applied Food Allergy®, was founded in 2008 under the guidance of Dr. Sahil Gupta, a renowned Ayurvedic practitioner. It is the world’s first Ayurvedic allergy care centre focused on treating allergies using natural therapies. The institute combines herbal treatments, dietary corrections, and lifestyle changes to improve gut health and support immune balance, aiming for the long-term management of food and other allergies.

Ans. The treatment procedure at IAFA begins with a detailed consultation to assess symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. Based on this, a personalized plan is created including Ayurvedic medicines, dietary guidelines, and lifestyle modifications for effective allergy management.

Ans. The PAAM Model (Prakriti-Aligned Ayurveda Medicine) is a personalized approach that considers an individual’s body type, digestion, and immunity. It helps design customized treatment plans to address the root causes of allergies and improve overall health.

Ans. The PRISM Mechanism focuses on regulating the immune system and reducing hypersensitivity. It aims to balance the body’s response to allergens, helping decrease the frequency and severity of allergic reactions while supporting long-term immune stability.

Ans. Yes. At IAFA Ayurveda, infants and toddlers receive specially designed, gentle treatments aimed at stopping the allergic march early and strengthening immunity. Adults, on the other hand, are treated for long-standing allergies with a focus on control, detoxification, and prevention of recurrence.
