Ayurveda believes that other than the external factors, ‘ahara’ or the diet and ‘vihara’ or the lifestyle are surely the precipitating factors when you succumb to an allergic condition. Moreover, lowering of the resistance power makes you easy target to environmental allergies. Although, whenever an allergic reaction is produced, it is because of vitiation in one or all the three doshas or body humors viz. –
- Vata or the air,
- Pitta or the fire
- and Kapha or phlegm.
