Allergies

[Guest guest]

Hi!

 

I am suffering from allergies right now - I do it every spring

season, and it is against pollen. I got a runny nose and eyes, and i

sneeze a lot, and I get very sleepy, I also got problems with my

breathing. How is this - is it kapha related or pitta related or a

combination of both? I am a pitta person in my constitution.

 

What do you recommend to do? Some special ayurvedic medicin, some

breath exercises any special food I should avoid and so on?

 

Thank you for helping me!

 

Have a nice day and take care!

You know it's funny, but there are so many people who think it is pollen they

are allergic to. In most cases they find out it is mold.

Dear lunda

 

Plants and pollen are sources of allergies for many people. But some

plants contain valuable chemicals and compounds that actually fight

allergies, such as flavonoids and phenols. One such plant is cilantro

or coriander. The leaves and tender stems of the plant are used as a

fresh herb, and the seeds, whole or ground, as a dry spice.

 

 

Cilantro and coriander are powerful aids to digestion. According to

ayurveda, allergies result from improper digestion and an

accumulation of ama in the physiology, which weaken the immune system

and distort the body's response mechanisms. Cilantro and coriander,

by enhancing digestion, work to alleviate the root cause of allergies.

 

 

Use fresh cilantro, finely chopped, as a garnish for bean soups,

vegetable and bean stews, lentils, cooked vegetables and rice dishes.

Add finely chopped tender stems to soups and stews as they are

cooking for even more potent flavor. Use freshly ground coriander

seed in combination with other spices to flavor vegetables and grain

dishes.

 

 

In addition, a procedure called "Jal neti", which consists of

alternately passing a warm water saturated with ordinary salt through

each nostril also relieves sneezing. This occurs by de-sensitizing

them against pollen and other fine particles in air. If you do

breathing exercizes, this Jalneti makes "smell-sense" so sharp that

you can become a pollution sensor for each city.

Hallo!

Thank you all for sharing your knowledge. I can understand the

connetion to the stomach, because that is a problem area for me. So

I think I shall try a little guggulu and maybee triphala (I live in

Sweden and I know I can buy it here, but some of the things you all

suggest sometimes, is hard for me to buy in my country) to get som

ama out of my body, and also more look in to what I am eating, and

for example drink som gingertea to get my digestion OK, but as I am

a pittaperson I have to bee little careful so I don't take in to hot

food and drinks.

 

Have a nice day!
