Spring has just started here in India. February and March months are a bit difficult in terms of health. These months falls under “Ritu Sandhi Kaala”, the junction between two seasons i.e. winter and summer. In February we bid adieu to winter and in March we welcome summer. So, we experience both the seasons at the same time. This phenomena leads to various diseases as body finds it difficult to cope up with both the seasons at the same time. The most common disease during spring is Allergy.
What is Allergy?
Allergy is body’s response to certain event. When our body becomes sensitive towards certain object or event, our body responds aggressively while coming into the contact with respective objects. Such as, if someone is sensitive towards dust, when he or she comes in contact with dust, he or she faces the symptoms like sneezing, running nose, sore throat, etc. This is an Allergic response of our body. Anyone can be a victim of Allergy. It can happen at any age.
The causes of Allergy
Allergy is caused due to some disturbance is immunity. When mistakenly, our immunity finds out certain objects such as pollen, dust, smoke etc. (allergens) harmful, it starts attacking towards them by releasing certain chemicals such as histamines. This leads to allergic response. It is yet unknown why our immunity suddenly stars behaving in strange way.
Allergy and Ayurveda
In Ayurveda, the concept of immunity is described very nicely. Ayurveda divides immunity into 3 types.
- Sahaja Bala (Natural Immunity): this immunity is gifted to a child from their parents and nature.
- Kalaja Bala (Immunity related to age): Youngsters have higher immunity than children or old aged.
- Yuktikrita Bala (Acquired Immunity): This type of immunity can be developed by various diet-lifestyle and medicines regimes. One can increase the immunity power by consuming the immunity boosters.
