Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Reserach - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
An object which is not familiar to body cells and tissues is regarded as Asatmya or unwholesome. It may be also called Anupashaya or Ahita or Apathya. The word Anupashaya is contradictory to Upashaya, which is not appropriate to the body or not give happiness to the body; this is also called Vyadhi Asatmya. In other word it can be said that the factor or particles which disrupt the normal physiological functions or damage the dhatus is known as Asatmya. This concept may be correlated to food allergy mentioned in modern medicine. Allergies, also known as allergic diseases, are a number of conditions triggered by hypersensitivity of the immune system to something in the atmosphere that usually causes slight problem. Allergic diseases like hay fever, food allergies, atopic dermatitis, allergic asthma, and anaphylaxis. Symptoms may include red eyes, an itchy rash, runny nose, shortness of breath, or swelling. Food intolerances and food poisoning are separate conditions.
