Understanding Angioedema
What Is Angioedema?
Angioedema is deep swelling from fluid leakage, often allergic, sometimes hereditary or medicine-induced. Airway involvement makes it an emergency.
Identifying allergic, hereditary, or drug causes decides long-term management.
Common Causes
- Food and drug allergies
- Insect stings
- Hereditary deficiency rarely
- ACE-inhibitor medicines

The Ayurvedic View of Angioedema
Ayurvedic Understanding
Ayurveda interprets sudden swellings with itching as aggravated Kapha-Pitta with ama and hypersensitive immunity.
Supportive care emphasises trigger diaries, blood-purifying diet, gut correction, and calming herbs.
