Introduction

Allergy is defined as the adverse immune response to the specific components recognized by allergen-specific immune cells which then elicit specific immunologic reactions that result in characteristic symptoms. Allergic symptoms often develop in a common sequence and pattern which is termed as Allergic March. 

Ayurvedic Concept of Allergy

According to the Ayurvedic concept, allergy march is caused due to Agnimandya (weak digestive fire). Ayurveda places a huge emphasis on the health of the digestive system because digestive strength is intricately linked to the immune response, so firing up the digestive capacity can be tremendously helpful in the treatment of allergies of various etiologies.

In Ayurveda, various herbs and herbal preparations are described for internal and external use which are reported to provide promising results in a wide range of allergic disorders like food allergy treatment, allergic rhinitis treatment, urticaria treatment etc.

Happy Note by Child’s Mother Anky Johnson:

Hi, last year in September my daughter got some red acne kind of things on her legs, When I got worries went to some allopathic doctor but nothing worked.  Then, later searched Dr. Sahil on Google, he explained us about the protein allergy she had and just after one month of treatment her digestion was likely very good and no new rashes anywhere on the skin. I genuinely followed his 6 months treatment with all the diet given. It was impossible for me to cut off all her favourite food but yes, we did it and we are happy now. She has started everything eating now but in small quantity and sometimes not every day. So much thankful to Dr. Sahil. He is a great person and best thing always available when you need!! Thank to the team as well!! Bless you.”
