How to Get Rid of Anaphylaxis Naturally?

Anaphylaxis is a hypersensitive reaction of the body towards certain types of foods, peanuts, medicines, insect bites etc. It is considered as a serious allergy mimicking the reaction of the body towards external stimulus.

What are the Symptoms of Anaphylaxis?

The respiratory symptoms of Anaphylaxis include:

• Difficulty in breathing
• Nasal dripping
• Tightness of chest
• Wheezing
• Congestion
• Shock

Shock is a life-threatening stage in anaphylaxis. This should be managed under emergency care.

What is the Cause of Anaphylaxis – According to Ayurveda?

As per Ayurveda, anaphylactic reactions can be commonly seen in persons who have Vata and Pitta dominant body types. This is because people with Vata dominant dosha often have weak immunity, low ojas (immunity) due to under-nourished tissues of the body and Pitta dosha dominant persons are aggressive in nature. Their body reacts aggressively to certain kinds of foods.

Ayurvedic Pathology of Anaphylaxis

The Ayurvedic pathology of an anaphylactic reaction can be explained in two stages. These are:

1. Stage I: Stage I is referred to as slow ama formation (toxin build up). Due to slow toxin build up over a period of time, the increased doshas that are circulating all over the body may or may not produce symptoms.
2. Stage II: There is a sudden aggravation of symptoms in this stage. The symptoms occur when the person is exposed to allergens such as peanuts, milk or certain wrong foods. These aggravated doshas lodged in the skin, respiratory system, digestive system or cardiovascular system. This happens in a short period of a few seconds to minutes. In Ayurveda, this part of the pathology can be considered as Visha or Dushi Visha (poisoning).
