Preventing Allergies with Ayurveda

Episode 330

Allergies can make life challenging for many people as the symptoms can really impact day-to-day life. In this episode Colette talks about how allergies can manifest differently in each dosha type:

• The kapha dosha when aggravated can manifest in congestion, mucus, phlegm, runny nose, watery eyes, chesty cough, feeling lethargic, heaviness in the body and a foggy mind. There can also be sluggish digestion and elimination, water retention and swelling.

• The pitta dosha when aggravated can manifest in inflammation in the respiratory system e.g. sinusitis, bronchitis. Inflammation on the skin e.g. rashes, hives, psoriasis, allergic dermatitis, eczema. Other symptoms could include headaches, migraines, burning or bloodshot eyes, stomach upset, heartburn, indigestion and excess heat in the body.

• The vata dosha when aggravated can manifest in respiratory symptoms like wheezing, sneezing or difficulty breathing. Digestive issues like excessive gas and bloating, burping, gurgling in the stomach, dryness in the body and constipation. There can be moving pain, tingling, spasms, cramps and muscle aches in the body. 

Colette also gives lots of tips on how to prevent and treat allergies.
