Conservative management of allergic respiratory illness in the light of Ayurveda & Plant Biotechnology: A literary review
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The term Allergy refers to expression of an ‘altered state of reactivity’ to common environmental antigens. Allergic diseases have a familial predisposition and common target organs are lungs, nose and skin. Common allergic respiratory illnesses are allergic rhinitis, allergic bronchitis and asthma etc. Allergic rhinitis is an inflammatory disorder of the nasal mucosa characterized by nasal congestion, rhinorrhea and itching and often accompanied by sneezing and conjunctival irritation, while Allergic bronchitis is triggered by an allergic reaction instead of by a cold or the flu. It is accompanied by a productive cough with slight fever, chills and a sore chest or throat. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the lung airways characterized by airways hyper-responsiveness resulting in episodic airflow obstruction. Remarkable increase in prevalence of allergic diseases in the past few decades has necessitated a holistic understanding of the condition and exploring its treatment through Ayurveda via the help of modern technologies including Plant biotechnology.
