What is Hay Fever?
Hay Fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, causes cold-like signs and symptoms but unlike a cold, hay fever is not caused by a virus. Causes of hay fever include an allergic response to outdoor or indoor allergens such as pollen, dust mites, fur, feathers, pet dander, etc. According to modern medicine, the symptoms of hay fever can only be managed but it can’t be cured permanently with the help of herbal remedies for hay fever, it can be treated effectively without any side effects.
In hay fever, the body’s immune system identifies a harmless airborne substance as harmful. The immune system then produces antibodies in response to this harmless substance. The next time a person comes in contact with the substance, these antibodies signal the immune system to release chemicals such as histamine into the bloodstream, which causes a reaction.

What are the Causes of Hay Fever?
According to Ayurveda, Hay fever is caused due to the imbalance of Kapha and Pitta disorders. Individuals who are deficient in neutralization capacity are more prone to get allergies and hay fever. Vata dosha is responsible for changes in the body that is triggered by seasonal changes in nature in conditions like hay fever. An aggravated or over-stimulated Vata dosha triggered by seasonal or other factors causes hay fever or certain allergies.
Ayurveda also believes that a person with a poor digestive system or weak digestive fire develops toxins in the body due to poor digestion.
The triggers of hay fever are:
- External factors such as dust, pollen, smoke, animal fur, hair, etc.
- Asthma
- Exposure to humidity, dust, and cold
- Low immunity
- Sinusitis
- Unhealthy lifestyle
- Seasonal changes
What is the Ayurvedic Treatment of Hay Fever?
Rather than just focusing on the symptoms, Ayurvedic treatment of hay fever focuses on providing nourishment and support to the lungs and the respiratory system.
Treatment of Hay Fever in Ayurveda depends on the type of individual or dosha. While natural and herbal remedies for hay fever are helpful in controlling hay fever, it is better to consult an Ayurvedic physician for holistic and natural treatment as an Ayurvedic physician will first identify the primary dosha. Then he would identify the particular type of dosha that triggers hay fever. Then he would use this diagnosis to create a personalized treatment plan.

1. Ginger (Zingiber officinale)
