Ayurvedic Treatment for Eye allergies

EYE ALLERGIES Ayurvedic Treatment

Apart from personal history and a diary record of possible allergies, doctors may also recommend one or both of the following tests¹:

• Skin prick test. A skin prick test can identify if the body is allergic to anything. The same allergen can affect and create symptoms in the eyes¹
• Allergy Blood test. This involves a blood test called the radioallergosorbent test (RAST) – which measures the immune system's response to a specific allergen. This can help in eye allergies by diagnosing allergic response by the body through production of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies.¹

Diet Recommendations (Aahar)

• Recommended foods that should be included in the diet every day such as ghee, milk, rock salt, honey, patola (snake gourd), red rice, green gram, wheat, triphala (3 fruits), carrots and leafy vegetables⁵
