Introduction
Allergic conditions can significantly affect a person’s daily life, especially when they involve multiple systems such as the skin, respiratory tract, and gastrointestinal system. This case involves a 15-year-old girl who had been struggling for years with an Allergy March, a combination of food allergies, perioral dermatitis, and allergic rhinitis.
Her symptoms included skin rashes, swelling around the mouth, hives, sneezing, watery eyes, facial itching, and episodes that resembled anaphylaxis. These issues interfered with her studies and daily activities.
As her family lived in a remote region and preferred online consultation, they approached Dr. Sahil Gupta of IAFA Ayurveda. Through structured Ayurvedic guidance and remote support, she experienced significant improvement in her allergy-related symptoms.

UID: 7740
Age: 15 years
Gender: Female
Date of Admission: 16/03/2023
The patient had a history of seafood allergy, specifically to prawns, along with perioral dermatitis and allergic rhinitis. Exposure to allergens such as prawns, dust, mango, litchi, brinjal, and drumstick triggered symptoms like hives, angioedema, vomiting, constipation, and persistent dryness around the mouth.
Based on her presentation, the diagnosis included Aahar Asatmyata (food allergy), Vicharchika (perioral dermatitis), and Vata Kapha Pratishyaya (allergic rhinitis). A personalised Ayurvedic treatment plan was prepared, which included internal herbal formulations, external applications, nasal therapy, and diet and lifestyle adjustments.
Over regular monthly follow-ups, she reported steady improvement and a noticeable reduction in her allergic and skin symptoms.
