What is Eosinophilia?

Eosinophilia is a type of white blood cell that helps strengthen the immune system's ability to fight off allergens, infections, parasites, and other pathogens. However, an unusual rise in Eosinophils may lead to inflammatory symptoms, mainly in the respiratory tract and skin. The normal eosinophil count of a healthy individual ranges between 30 and 350 cells per microliter of blood. Anything over 500 cells per microliter of blood may indicate eosinophilia.

Severity of Eosinophilia is diagnosed based on the following ranges:

• Mild: 500 to 1500/mcL
• Moderate: 1500 to 5000/mcL
• Severe: > 5000/mcL

According to Ayurveda, Eosinophilia is one of the primary properties of Vata and Kapha doshas, and the reaction is associated with allergens and pylons. By rebalancing these doshas, Ayurveda aims to treat Eosinophilia holistically through customised therapies, Ayurvedic medicines, and lifestyle and dietary changes.

What Are the Causes of Eosinophilia?

Infections, allergies, or other immune responses can cause Eosinophilia. In Ayurveda, it is believed that the accumulation of Ama (toxins), Kapha, and Vata doshas contributes to increased mucus production and inflammation, leading to the condition. Some of the most common causes are given below:

Allergic Reactions: Eosinophils can typically increase due to allergies caused by pollen, dust, certain foods, or pet dander.

Parasitic Infections: Parasitic infections, particularly those in tropical regions, can elevate eosinophil levels in the blood.

Autoimmune Disorders: A persistent increase in eosinophils can result from various conditions that trigger an immune system overreaction.

Kapha and Vata's Imbalance: Imbalance in these doshas, predominantly caused by diet and lifestyle, can lead to unstable ama and mucus conditions, which is all risking for allergy and respiratory complications.
