Stop allergies (udara prasamana)

Udara prasamana herbs calm allergic reactions by reducing inflammation, clearing ama and balancing pitta and kapha. Their energetics are typically light, cooling and anti‑inflammatory, supporting gut, skin and respiratory pathways where allergies arise.

Shirish (Albizzia lebbeck) is a key example, known for its antihistamine‑like effects and ability to reduce swelling.  Other supportive herbs include turmeric (Curcuma longa), guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), and neem (Azadirachta indica).

While the exact term udara prasamana is not always used in isolation, classical texts consistently describe these herbs with actions such as vishaghna, kapha and pitta reducing, shothahara, that map directly onto the Ayurvedic understanding of allergies.
