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.

1) No there was no peanut allergy before then because she used to eat food containing peanuts till she was about 15 years old, although didn’t quite relish it - but it wouldn’t cause any symptoms like this. But when she was very small up to about 4 or 5 years of age she used to get eczema sometimes but she grew out of that. 2) There’s no family history of allergies. But my wife does have rheumatoid arthritis. Thanks Kind Regards

Thank you for clarifying: Though she grew out of go eczema and you are saying she did not relish peanut, body was showing signs. and also her mother is immuno-compromised. But they are not directly related to peanut allergy from which she is suffering now. Please go to a nearby ayurveda doctor who runs a panchakarma clinic/set up; as i mentioned earlier it is very useful to build the resistance. Take care. Kind regards.

NAMASTE ANIL JI,

Thank you for sharing your daughters history with such clarity and care. peanut allergy, particularly anaphylactic type reaction are indeed serious, and its wise that yore continuing all emergency precautions like Zyrtec and Epipen use

from an ayurvedic perspective, such allergies are viewed as a combination of aggravated pitta-kasha dosha with a weak digestive fire and disturbed rasa-dhatu formation, coupled with sensitive mind , leading to both physical and emotional hypersensitivity.

While Ayurveda does not offer a “cure” for life-threatening allergies to be honest like allopathic medicines but it can help reduce allergic sensitivity, strengthen immunity, balances dosha, calm the nervous system, and build emotional resilience- making accidental exposure less distressing and possibly less reactive over time.

AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING OF FOOOD ALLERGIES ROOT FACTORS

-AGNI DUSHTI(weak digestion and metabolic imbalance)- improper processing of even healthy foods leads to toxins, resulting in immune hyper-reactivity.

-RAKTA AND RASA DHATU VITIATION- hypersensitivity blood and plasm tissues react disproportionately

-MANOVAHA SROTAS DUSHTI- anxiety and panic worsen vata pitta imbalance during reactions

-KAPHA-PRADHANA ALLERGIES- characterised by swelling, mucus,throat blocakges

-PITTA COMPONENT- inflammation, burning sensation, skin dryness

-VATA COMPONENT- dizziness, fear, restlessness, choking sensation

AYURVEDIC PROTOCOL(LONG TERM AND PREVENTIVE) GOAL-desensitize the body gradually, strengthen immune intelligence(ojus), pacify pitta-kapha and support mental calmness

TREATMENT PLANNED FOR YOU= minimum 6-12 months

1)SHITOPALADI CHURNA+ PRAVAL PISHTI- 1/4 tsp with honey, twice daily after food= for Kapha-pitta allergies and throat suppport

2)HARIDRA KHANDA- 1 tsp with warm milk daily at night= anti-allergic strengthens skin and immunity

3)GUDUCHI CAPSULE- 500 mg twice daily in morning and night= immune modulating and anti-inflammatory

4)YASTIMADHU CAPSULE- 1 capsule in morning= soothes to throat and reduce inflammation

5)ASHWAGANDHA+BRAHMI- 2 Capsules at bedtime= bata-pacifying mental calmness and adaptogenic

6)AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA- 1/2 tsp before lunch and dinner with warm wtaer= supports digestive fire, prevents toxins and pitta build up

YOU CAN CREATE A CUSTOM CHURNAM FOR LONG TERM USE EQUAL PARTS - SHITOPALADI+HARIDRA + GUDUCHI+YASTIMADHU+AMLA POWDER- 1/2 tsp twice daily with honey or warm water

#MAINLY GO FOR PANCHAKARMA AND DETOX TO GET BEST RESULTS

-VIRECHANA(PURGATION)= remmoves pitta and toxins from liver and intestines -BASTI(medicated enema)=for deeper immune modulation and anxiety management

DIET

GENERAL PRINCIPALS -eat warm, home cooked, non spicy, non oily, easily digestible foods -avoid heavy kapha foods- peanuts(obviuosly), dairy(limit), fried snacks, wheat heavy meals -reduce pitta triggers- tomatoes, vinegar, fermented foods, red chilli - avoid ice cold drinks and frozen food- weakens digestive fire -eat at regular intervals- no skipping meals

SUPPORTIVE FOOD -warm rice+moong dal khichdi -steamed veggies -cow ghee- 1 tsp daily in food -turmeric milk -soaked almonds- 3-5 daily,peeled -herbal teas- tulsi,licorice,ginger,fennel

LIFESTYLE AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT her emotional fear is valid but can be transformed with lifestyle and regular calming practices

DAILY ROUTINE -wake by sunrise -oil massage with ashwagandha bala lakshadi taila -warm water sipping through out the day -light physical activity- daily yoga -avoid overstimulation-excess screen time, late nights

RECOMMEDED YOGA AND PRANAYAM -anulom Vilom-alternate nostril breathing- 5 mins daily - Bhramari- 7 repetitions daily(great for panic) -childs pose(balasana), legs-up-the wall(viparita karani)- to calm vata pitta -Guided meditation with mantra- chant om shanti or om trayambakam for calming fear

IMMUNE AND EMERGENCY PREP -even while working on ayurvedic immunity continue -carry Zyrtec and epipen -use ayurvedic throat spray or licorice lozenges if mild symptoms start -keep travel pouch with- sitopaladi mix(told above), yastimadhu churna and guduchi capsules

MANASIKA CHIKITSA(EMOTIONAL HEALING) her fear is not only physical but deeply mental. ayurveda sees this as vata imbalance in manovaha srotas -NATURAL MOND SOOTHERS -ashwagandha Brahmi capsules- at night -stress com - 1 tab at night as needed for panic -warm foot oil massage with sesame oil at bedtime -encourage talking -safe aromatherapy- lavender, rose, sandalwood

EXPECTED OUTCOME

1-2 MONTHS= better digestion, slight emotional stability 3-4 MONTHS= less intensity of skin/throat dryness, calmer nervous system 6+ MONTHS= fewer flare ups, stronger confidence , possible reduced sensitivity

DO NOT TEST or reintroduce peanuts intentionally . Ayurveda does not recommend desensitisation by exposure in severe case -keep emergency meds always ready -ensure all medicine are free of cross contamination

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFULL FOR YOUR DAUGHTER

THANK YOU

DO FOLLOW

NAMASTE ANIL JI,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful message. I’m truly heartened to hear that the guidance has brought you both reassurance and clarity. It’ an honor to support you on this journey toward deeper healing and balance.

1)PROPORTION FOR SHITOPALADI CHURNA+PRAVAL PISHTI -these two can be mixed in equal proportions(1:1 ratio). For example you may mix 50 gms of each to prepare a combined blend. From this mix, administer 1/4 teaspoon twice daily with little honey after meals. This combination helps balance both kapha and pitta, offering soothing relief for allergies and throat irritation.

2)CUSTOM CHURNA FOR LONG TERM USE -the blend of shitopaladi, haridra, guduchi, yashtimadhu and amla (in equal parts) is designed as a long-term , constitutional support for immunity, respiratory health, and overall dosha balance. You may begin with the initial combination(shitopaladi+praval pishti) during acute phases or seasonal transitions. The custom churna can then be gradually introduced as a substitute for ongoing use- particularly during times of stability or prevention. If desired, both can be alternated or transitioned based on the individuals current state and seasonal needs.

3)INTRODUCING PANCHAKARMA GENTLY for someone new or hesitant , its ideal to start with gentle, preparatory steps- -begin with warm oil massage at home using mild oils like kshirbala taila -follow with mild steam inhalation or fomentation to help open channels -consider a few days of simple dietary detox using khichri and warm herbal teas. once there’s comfort with these routines you can consult a trusted Ayurvedic practitioner to introduce medicated enema(Basti) in a supported clinical setting. Basti is highly beneficial, especially for vata and supporting long-term immunity, but it should only be done under supervision, particularly in children or first-timers.

4)CHURNA VS CAPSULES FOR BRAHMI AND ASHWAGANDHA- yes, churna form is absolutely suitable and often preferred in traditional practice for better absorption and personalisation. Mixing them with warm water or pinch of jaggery or honey(based on dosha type and time of day) is perfectly fine. for example -Brahmi chunra- 1/2 tsp in morning with honey or warm water -Ashwagandha chmurna- 1 tsp with warm milk in the evening with a pinch of nutmeg for calming effect.

Avoid jaggery if there’s pitta aggravation or during hot weather.

Regarding products like patanjalis power vita- while they offer a general wellness boost and may be suitable for children as a supplement, they tend to be less potent or targeted than pure herbs. They’re fine for casual support, but for specific therapeutic benefits, prescribe herbs in traditional forms are more reliable.

5)AROMATHERAPY CLARIFICATION -by safe aromatherapy, I was referring primarily to essential oil diffusers, which disperse the therapeutic properties of oils like lavender, rose, and sandalwood into the air. these are ideal for calming the ming and enhancing the emotional environment.

Incense sticks can also be used, provided they are natural and free of synthetic perfumes, which can otherwise aggravate the respiratory tract. Reed diffusers are a gentle option for constant, subtle fragrance in room.

please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have further questions or would like to help tailoring these suggestions more specifically to yours daughters constitution or symptoms. It is a privilege to walk alongside you in this healing path

warm regards and best wishes and speedy recovery always.

Namaste Doctor,

Thank you so much for your kind and detailed response — I truly appreciate the time and care you’ve taken to guide us. It has given us both reassurance and clarity.

I just have a few follow-up questions to better understand and implement your recommendations:

You kindly mentioned the combination of Shitopaladi Churna + Praval Pishti (¼ tsp with honey, twice daily after food) for Kapha-Pitta allergies and throat support. Could you please let me know the proportion in which these two should be mixed?

You also suggested creating a custom churna for long-term use (equal parts of Shitopaladi, Haridra, Guduchi, Yastimadhu, and Amla – ½ tsp twice daily). Should this be taken in addition to the earlier combination you recommended in points 1–6, or is it meant as a long-term substitute?

Regarding Panchakarma, my daughter has never experienced therapies like Basti or other detox procedures before. Could you please advise on how to gently introduce someone who is unfamiliar and perhaps a little reluctant to consider these practices?

Instead of capsules, would it be suitable to take Brahmi and Ashwagandha in churna form, mixed with warm water (perhaps with a bit of jaggery for taste)? Also, are products like Patanjali’s Power Vita considered acceptable alternatives in terms of efficacy, or are they generally less potent?

You mentioned the use of safe aromatherapy – lavender, rose, sandalwood. Just to clarify, do you mean this in the form of incense sticks, reed diffusers, or essential oil diffusers?

Once again, thank you for your valuable guidance. We feel truly grateful for your support on this journey toward healing and balance.

Best Regards, Anil

Understanding your daughter’s peanut allergy and its impact on her life is crucial as it seems not only physical but also emotional. First and foremost, I’d like to reiterate that peanut allergies can be life-threatening, so continue prioritising safety measures like carrying an Epipen and consulting allergists for emergencies.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, allergies often stem from an imbalance in the doshas, particularly impacting the Kapha and Vata doshas. This imbalance can disrupt her Agni (digestive fire), leading to Ama (toxins) accumulation, and contribute to allergic reaction sequences. While Ayurveda can’t replace conventional life-saving treatments, it can complement them by strengthening the system, promoting balance, and providing emotional support.

1. Diet: Focus on a light, warm, and easy-to-digest diet to support Agni. Avoid heavy, oily, or very cold foods. Include ginger in her meals, as it enhances digestion and reduces Kapha. Turmeric is also excellent for its anti-inflammatory properties; adding a pinch to her meals might be beneficial.

2. Herbs: Consider herbs famous in Ayurveda for boosting immunity and managing allergies, like Ashwagandha, which helps calm Vata and supports the nervous system, Bhringaraj, known for its antihistaminic properties, and Tulsi, revered for helping the respiratory system.

3. Lifestyle: Establish a consistent wellness routine—encourage regular pranayama and meditation to reduce anxiety and enhance emotional resilience. Simple breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom can help keep her mind calm before meals.

4. Rasayanas: Chyawanprash, a traditional formulation, combined with honey can nurture her tissues and provide rejuvenation. Use in moderation due to its heavy nature, starting with a small amount daily.

5. Abhyanga: A daily self-massage with sesame oil can help soothe the nerves and balance Vata energy—promoting a grounding, calming effect.

These measures are best implemented under guidance of a qualified practitioner, especially given her unique constitition. Continue working closely with her medical advisors for any emergency allergic response. Patience is key; holistic approaches may take time to show effects, but over time, they can significantly support her overall well-being.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.

I am working in Ayurveda field from some time now, started out as a general physician at Chauhan Ayurveda Hospital in Noida. That place taught me a lot—how to handle different types of patients in OPD, those daily cases like fever, digestion issues, body pain... but also chronic stuff which keeps coming back. After that I moved to Instant Aushadhalya—an online Ayurveda hospital setup. Whole different space. Consultations online ain’t easy at first—no pulse reading, no direct Nadi check—but you learn to ask the right things, look at patient’s tone, habit patterns, timing of symptoms... and yeah it actually works, sometimes even better than in person. Right now I’m working as an Ayurveda consultant at Digvijayam Clinic where I’m focusing more on individualised care. Most ppl come here with stress-related problems, digestion issues, joint pain, that kind of mix. I go by classic diagnosis principles like prakriti analysis, dosha imbalance and all, but also mix in what I learned from modern side—like understanding their lifestyle triggers, screen time, sleep cycles, food gaps n stress patterns. I don’t rush into panchakarma or heavy medicines unless it’s needed... prefer starting with simple herbs, diet change, basic daily routine correction. If things demand, then I go stepwise into Shodhan therapies. My goal is to not just “treat” but to help ppl know what’s happening in their body and why its reacting like that. That awareness kinda becomes half the cure already. Not everything is perfect. Sometimes ppl don’t follow what you say, sometimes results are slow, and yeah that gets to you. But this path feels honest. It’s slow, grounded, and meaningful.

I am someone who kinda learned early that medicine isn’t just about protocols or pills—like, it’s more about people, right? I did my BAMS with proper grounding in both classical Ayurveda and also the basics of modern med, which honestly helped me see both sides better. During internship, I got to work 6 months at Civil Hospital Sonipat—very clinical, very fast paced—and the other 6 at our own Ayurvedic hospital in the college. That mix showed me how blending traditional and integrative care isn't just theory, it actually works with real patients. After that I joined Kbir Wellness, an Ayurvedic aushdhalaya setup, where I dived into Naadi Pariksha—like really deep. It’s weird how much you can tell from pulse if you just listen right?? Doing regular consultations there sharpened my sense of prakriti, vikriti and how doshas show up subtle first. I used classical Ayurvedic texts to shape treatment plans, but always kept the patient’s routine, mental space and capacity in mind. Also I was part of some health camps around Karnal and Panipat—especially in govt schools and remote areas. That part really stays with me. You get to help ppl who dont usually have access to consistent care, and you start valuing simple awareness more than anything. I kinda think prevention should be a bigger focus in Ayurveda, like we keep talking about root cause but don’t always reach people before it gets worse. My whole method is pretty much built around that—root-cause treatment, yes, but also guiding patients on how to live with their body instead of fighting symptoms all the time. I rely a lot on traditional diagnostics like Naadi, but I mix that with practical therapies they can actually follow. No point in giving hard-to-do regimens if someone’s already overwhelmed. I keep it flexible. Most of my plans include dietary changes, natural formulations, lifestyle corrections and sometimes breathwork, daily rhythms and all that. I’m not here to just “treat illness”—what I really aim for is helping someone feel like they’ve got a handle on their own health again. That shift from just surviving to kinda thriving... that’s what I look for in every case.

I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

Dr. Ayushya Kumar Singh
I am someone who got into Ayurveda not just for treating diseases but cuz I always felt drawn to understanding why things go out of balance in the first place. My work’s rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—I’ve spent years studying them, not just memorizing shlokas but really figuring out what they mean in today’s context. At the same time, I also use modern diagnostic stuff where needed, just to get a fuller picture. Pulse diagnosis (Nadi Pariksha) is something I rely on a lot—it’s not easy to master but with practice, it kinda tells you what the body’s hiding, even before symptoms scream out loud. I focus mostly on chronic issues… like gut problems, fatigue, hormonal mess, skin disorders, and stress stuff that just doesn’t go away with tablets. I use herbal formulations (mostly customized), Panchakarma when needed—not in a one-size way but actually based on the person’s Prakriti and Vikriti. I also spend a good chunk of time explaining things to patients. Like why you should eat this in winter, or skip curd at night or not mix fruits with milk—little stuff people think doesn’t matter, but actually does in Ayurveda. Over time, I’ve realized people don’t just want relief, they want to understand how their body works again. That’s kinda where I feel most useful. I help patients reconnect with natural rhythms, daily routines, sleep cycles, digestion, seasons—all of it. And ya, it’s slow sometimes. But once things shift internally, you see it show up on the outside too. That’s what keeps me going honestly. Whether it’s stress or sluggish metabolism or just someone feeling “not right” without knowing why—I try to listen deep, go to the root n create a treatment path that’s realistic and sustainable. Not just ideal on paper. Healing, for me, is something we do together, not something I just hand over. I want people to feel heard n understood… and to believe their bodies can heal, with the right support. That’s what Ayurveda is to me—real, ancient, and still totally alive.
