Allergies are an overreaction of the body's immune system to specific substances that it misidentifies as harmful. This overreaction of the body's immune system is known as an allergic reaction and the substances that cause it are called allergens. Allergic reactions manifest themselves in the form of commonly seen skin and respiratory disorders such as eczema, hives, hay fever, asthma and food allergies. In Ayurveda, COPD treatment is done by first diagnosing the individual root-cause of every patient.
Ayurvedic treatment of COPD will include immunity boosting herbs and treatments to reduce the occurrence of infection. Proper hygiene is suggested, as well as lifestyle and diet modifications. Nasya treatment can be particularly helpful in preventing the entrance of external irritants and pollution. A visit to Jiva will determine which treatments, oils, and herbs are most suitable for each individual. Rasayana treatment, rejuvenation therapy, is of particular importance for patients suffering from COPD.
