Allergy & Cold
Ayurvedic Solutions for Allergy & Cold Traditional Remedies for Modern Ailments
Allergies and colds are common afflictions that disrupt daily life and affect millions across India every year. While modern medicine offers temporary relief, Ayurveda, with its holistic approach, provides natural and enduring solutions. At Himkalp, we harness the age-old wisdom of Ayurveda to formulate products that not only alleviate symptoms but also strengthen the body’s innate defenses.
Understanding Allergies and Colds from an Ayurvedic Perspective
In Ayurveda, allergies are seen as imbalances in the body’s doshas — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each type of allergy is thought to be caused by the aggravation of a specific dosha
Vata allergies manifest as dry coughs, sneezing, and wheezing.
Pitta allergies cause excessive heat, inflammation, and symptoms like rashes and burning eyes.
Kapha allergies are characterized by congestion, coughing, and colds. Colds, on the other hand, are considered disruptions of Kapha and Vata, leading to increased mucus production and weakened body energy.
Ayurvedic Management of Allergies and Colds
Dietary Adjustments
Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of diet in managing diseases. For both allergies and colds, a diet that pacifies the aggravated dosha is recommended. Foods like ginger, turmeric, and black pepper are excellent for enhancing the body’s digestive fire and clearing toxins that can lead to immune system malfunctions.

Lifestyle Practices
Practices such as Yoga and Pranayama (breath control exercises) are highly beneficial in strengthening the respiratory system and balancing the body’s doshas.
Preventing Allergies and Colds with Ayurveda
Prevention is key in Ayurveda. Regular cleansing of the nasal passage through Nasya therapy, using medicated oils, can significantly reduce the incidence of both allergies and colds. Additionally, adopting a daily routine that aligns with natural circadian rhythms helps maintain dosha balance and immunity.
