Allergy is basically a disorder of the immune system. Excessive or abnormal response of the body to any substance to the body is considered as allergy. Ayurveda considers allergy as a psycho somatic disorder which can arise in a normal, healthy person when the dietary intake, climate and seasonal variations are not in accordance with the individual's body type, known as Prakruti. The digestion power or Agni of the individual also plays a significant role. Depending on the allergy, Ayurveda has very good to limited success in controlling this disorder.
