AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON ANIMAL/DANDER ALLERGY

Allergies may be a consequence of chronic underlying inflammation (of the skin, lungs, or digestive tract) that exposes the immune system to allergens. For example, a respiratory infection can cause the immune system to overreact to dust or other particles when they contact inflamed surfaces. A gut infection can cause immune system contact with normal foods, triggering allergies.

A chronic viral or fungal infection (e.g. Epstein Barr, Herpes, toenail fungus, etc) may put the immune system on high alert, triggering hypersensitivity. Antivirals and antifungals can clear these immune triggers.

The immune system may be triggered into high alert by toxins in the blood. Alteratives, detoxicants, diuretics, and hepatoprotectives can strengthen the body's ability to reduce toxins. The source of the toxins (often fermentation in the gut) should be eliminated as well.

Follow tips to calm your immune system.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #3

ANIMAL/DANDER ALLERGY IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #3 - ATTACKING TISSUE

If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are becoming stronger and weakening your body's resistance. Most people have a weakness in one or more organs. These areas of weakness are the 'weak link in the chain.' They are first to succumb when an imbalance reaches a tipping point. Repairing imbalances in this category often represent your last opportunity to prevent disease. At any moment, these imbalances could overwhelm weakened tissue and develop into a disease. You may feel pain or discomfort in the weakened area. At this stage you will need to support the weakened tissue with specialized foods and herbs for the weakened tissue.
