Description
Summary:Allergy is a conundrum lacking satisfactory answers despite its global prevalence. Traditional systems of medicine may contain sustainable and effective solutions for the same. For mainstreaming them, an evaluation based on the system's own methods is inevitable rather than symptom-based correlations. Atopy is a novel entity in Ayurveda, but the methods of tripartite delineation (disease pattern, disease targets and influencing factors) of novel diseases and multifactorial approach to diagnosis and management in Ayurveda can bring about comprehensiveness in collection and categorization of data regarding the entity. This in turn can make the prediction, prevention and management of the same more precise, effective and sustainable. The article provides a template for the application of Ayurvedic biological framework in the diagnosis and management of novel diseases, with special reference to childhood allergic disorders.
