Most people suffer from seasonal allergies as the weather changes, which can cause health problems. Although the winter season is still present, summer is approaching, which can exacerbate the situation. Find out the reasons behind these seasonal allergies, Ayurvedic tips to manage, and Patanjali products to fight them.
Why Seasonal Allergies Happen?
When you spend more time indoors, you are exposed to indoor allergens that are exacerbated by poor ventilation. If kept closed for heat purposes, they keep the dust particles, mold and other unhealthy particles indoors. It further pushes these allergies.
Another reason for poor indoor air quality can be pests like cockroaches. Due to changing weather, the climate becomes conducive for pollen in the air, leading to worsening air quality. Another reason is the pollution.
Ayurveda states that seasonal allergies occur due to the buildup of Ama or toxins, leading to a weak Agni or ingestion. It leads to a response from the immune system when facing environmental changes. Let us understand how Ayurveda can help manage seasonal allergies.
