Consultation Request for Ongoing Ayurvedic Support for Peanut Allergy and Food Anxiety - #23349

Anil

Namaste, I am seeking Ayurvedic support for my daughter, who is now 24 years old and has had a peanut allergy since 2016. Whenever she accidentally consumes peanuts or peanut-based products, she experiences swelling of the lips, a choking sensation in the throat, and mild dizziness. Sometimes her skin also feels dry. Usually, she takes Zyrtec (half or full tablet), and the symptoms settle within an hour. Her first reaction happened after eating satay sauce, which contains peanuts. Since then, we always carry Zyrtec with us, and it helps when she reacts. However, eating outside food is always a risk — often restaurants or shops are not aware if their food contains peanuts. She also has mild hayfever during the pollen season, which is manageable. The biggest challenge now is her fear and anxiety around eating outside food. Once, while travelling alone in Korea, she accidentally ate a roll that had peanuts (not mentioned on the label). She panicked, took Zyrtec multiple times, and had to go to a hospital. Although she recovered, it left a deep emotional impact. Now, she avoids most outside food and is very anxious, which is affecting her lifestyle and confidence. Doctors have also given her an Epipen for emergencies. We are now looking for long-term Ayurvedic support. Our hope is: To reduce her allergic sensitivity over time, if possible. To help her body become more tolerant to accidental exposures, so reactions are less severe. To support her emotionally, so she feels calmer and less panicked if such situations arise. Can you please suggest if there is an ongoing Ayurvedic approach for this — including herbs, diet, lifestyle, or immunity-building treatments — that can help reduce the intensity of these allergic reactions and support her mental state? Thank you very much!

Namaste, 1. Is that mean, she had no peanut allergy before 2016? What happened (any major changes in the place/food/stress levels?) 2. Is there any family history of allergic reactions to dust, pollen&/food items? These specifications will give more clarity about the condition and future course of action. Broadly, Improving the immune system which involves periodic panchakarma procedures, followed by ayurveda medications to reduce the reaction of the system towards the peanut. Take care. Kind regards.
