Eosinophilia is a type of white blood cell that helps strengthen the immune system's ability to fight off allergens, infections, parasites, and other pathogens. However, an unusual rise in Eosinophils may lead to inflammatory symptoms, mainly in the respiratory tract and skin. The normal eosinophil count of a healthy individual ranges between 30 and 350 cells per microliter of blood. Anything over 500 cells per microliter of blood may indicate eosinophilia.
Severity of Eosinophilia is diagnosed based on the following ranges:
According to Ayurveda, Eosinophilia is one of the primary properties of Vata and Kapha doshas, and the reaction is associated with allergens and pylons. By rebalancing these doshas, Ayurveda aims to treat Eosinophilia holistically through customised therapies, Ayurvedic medicines, and lifestyle and dietary changes.
Infections, allergies, or other immune responses can cause Eosinophilia. In Ayurveda, it is believed that the accumulation of Ama (toxins), Kapha, and Vata doshas contributes to increased mucus production and inflammation, leading to the condition. Some of the most common causes are given below:
Allergic Reactions: Eosinophils can typically increase due to allergies caused by pollen, dust, certain foods, or pet dander.
Parasitic Infections: Parasitic infections, particularly those in tropical regions, can elevate eosinophil levels in the blood.
Autoimmune Disorders: A persistent increase in eosinophils can result from various conditions that trigger an immune system overreaction.
Kapha and Vata's Imbalance: Imbalance in these doshas, predominantly caused by diet and lifestyle, can lead to unstable ama and mucus conditions, which is all risking for allergy and respiratory complications.
Respiratory symptoms such as cough, wheezing or shortness of breath are common, especially in tropical pulmonary Eosinophilia.
Eosinophilia can cause allergies, itching, redness, and skin rashes.
Most patients with Eosinophilia exhibit persistent tiredness and fatigue, although some subjects were asymptomatic.
In cases like Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia with Eosinophilia, swelling of lymph nodes and other inflammatory symptoms may occur.

Several Ayurvedic herbs are helpful in the management of Eosinophilia by strengthening immunity and balancing the doshas while reducing inflammation. Some of the commonly used Ayurvedic herbs are:
Turmeric (Haridra): Known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, turmeric supports immune health and reduces allergic reactions.
Tulsi (Holy Basil): Tulsi is effective in improving respiratory health, reducing mucus, and balancing Kapha, making it helpful for those with eosinophilia.
Neem: Neem purifies the blood and detoxifies the body, helps cleanse Ama and reduce immune hyperactivity.
Amla (Indian Gooseberry): Rich in Vitamin C, amla strengthens immunity and helps the body resist allergens, promoting respiratory health.
Triphala: Triphala acts as a powerful detoxifier, supporting digestion and the elimination of toxins to balance doshas.
Eosinophilia is a condition in which a variety of white blood cells in the body increases. It is usually associated with allergies or specific disorders of Infection.
Some of the symptoms of Eosinophilia are chronic coughing, weakness, and sometimes cervicothoracic swelling or alteration in respiratory system performance.
Ayurveda can help with eosinophilia by balancing the body's immune system, reducing inflammation, and detoxifying through herbal remedies and dietary changes. A personalised treatment plan focusing on Pitta dosha balance may also help ease symptoms.
Medicines like Tulsi, Turmeric, Amla, and Neem are known to have Vasodilation properties, which induce the healing effect associated with the anti-inflammatory properties of eosinophilia.
In addition to allergies, Eosinophilia may be caused by parasitic infection, autoimmune disease, and an imbalance of the Kapha and Vata doshas.
Permanent relief depends on individual factors. Ayurvedic treatments focus on balancing doshas, detoxification, and building immunity, which may help manage symptoms long-term.
Dairy products, cold foods, processed items, and refined sugar can aggravate symptoms by increasing Kapha in the body.
A parasite infection usually causes tropical pulmonary Eosinophilia. It occurs in the tropics and often involves the respiratory system.
Some of the recommended activities are practising pranayama, following the Kapha-mitigating measures, and grooming the body daily to avoid dust and dirt exposure.
Ayurvedic approaches, including diet, herbs, yoga, and pranayama exercises, can help patients balance the immune system and alleviate symptoms.
